I personally felt like we really hit the ground running this year, and I\u2019m sure that you all are very very busy too! Lots of stuff to do and exams to study for, BUT that being said, I wanted to share a little something that you should 100% check out if you have even a minute of free time!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This semester, I want to share with all of you the MIRACLE that is the BU Arts Initiative!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The BU Arts Initiative is something I never really looked into until this semester, and I cannot believe I didn\u2019t take advantage of it sooner! The BU Arts Initiative is a program through BU that encourages students to experience the incredible music and art that can be found in Boston. The program offers BU students things like free admission to museums and free (or discounted) tickets to shows!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Recently, I visited the BU Arts Initiative Office on the second floor of the GSU. It was the first time I had ever gone, so I wasn\u2019t entirely sure what to expect. I walked in with no expectations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fast forward ten minutes, and I walked out with a free Boston Symphony Orchestra Student Card (free tickets to BSO shows!!), as well as two tickets to go see Mean Girls at the Boston Opera House that were only FIVE DOLLARS EACH!! How crazy is that, right?!! I am telling you guys &#8211; this program is magical!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other opportunities offered through BU Arts Initiative include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Free Admission to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Boston Museum of Fine Arts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Harvard Art Museums<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Institute of Contemporary Art<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Arts Insiders Program<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cStudents leaders from our Student Arts Council select a few exciting arts events in or around Boston each semester and students can sign up to attend <\/span><b>free of charge\u201d<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Global Music Festival\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And so much more!!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether you are an arts fanatic, or someone new to the art scene, definitely go check out the BU Arts Initiative!
