Artesian Gold Card

We are excited to introduce the Artesian Gold Card program for our local senior citizens, age 62 years and up. The Gold Card is a pass allowing free general admission to any Bell Intermediate Academy, Wooden Middle, or Martinsville High School sponsored (after-school) event starting August 1, 2018, including choir, band, and orchestra performances, school plays, and all athletic contests at home.

The Gold Card program is an opportunity to honor our senior citizens and their support. We are grateful for the young at heart in our community.

Eligibility:

Must be 62 or older
Must be a resident within the MSD of Martinsville (Baker, Clay, Green, Jefferson, Ray, or Washington Township)

How it works*:

Present your Gold Card to the ticket taker for admission. (Card must be with you to obtain free admission.)
General admission seating only. (Reserved seating sections do not apply to the Gold Card program.)
Gold cards will be distributed through mail only and are not kept at schools.

*Note: For certain events, the Gold Card will not be valid. Example, IHSAA tournament events and fine arts performances sponsored by outside groups such as ISSMA.
