Low on money? No problem. Here’s how to see the best art in Boston for little to no money.

1. Museum of Fine Arts

The Museum of Fine Arts is celebrating the reopening of its Huntington entrance by offering a free community day once a month. The next day of free admissions will be December 31st, followed by Martin Luther King Day, January 18th. Check out their website for the latest community days and come enjoy the MFA’s more than 450,000 works of art, including paintings by Monet, Winslow Homer and John Singer Sargent. You can also get $2 off the price of your ticket at the MFA or the Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum if you visit them both within a 2 day period.

2. Institute of Contemporary Art

Every Thursday from 5pm-9pm, entrance to the ICA is free to the public. Come appreciate their renowned modern art, including works by German painter Kai Althoff, sculptor Anish Kapoor and controversial graphic designer Shepard Fairey. If you can’t make it on Thursday nights and you have a valid student ID, tickets are only $10.

3. Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum

Isabella Stuart Gardner put several quirky provisions for the management of the museum in her will, including a rule that anyone named Isabella or anyone celebrating their birthday on that particular day receives free admission. If you’re lucky enough to be named Isabella or just celebrating your birthday, you can observe masterpieces by Matisse, Sargent and Botticelli for free in an intimate setting with low lights and gorgeous tropical gardens. You can gain admission for only $5 with a valid student ID and get $2 off the price of your ticket at the MFA or the Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum if you visit them both within 2 days. You can also text “GARDNER” to 22122 for special offers and discounts to “Gardner After Hours,” which is billed as “a new kind of night out”, on the third Thursday of every month, September through June.

4. Art Galleries on Newbury Street

While Newbury Street is the place to go for the priciest designer clothes and the most elegant brunches, this tree-lined street is also a great place to soak in some free art. There is plenty to see at the more than fifteen galleries, but make sure to check out paintings by Rolling Stone guitarist and artist Ronnie Wood at Newbury Fine Arts.

5. Harvard Art Museum

There’s no reason to ever pay admission to see Harvard’s diverse collections of Islamic, Indian and Western Art. Harvard students, Cambridge Public Library card holders and anyone visiting the museums after 4:30 pm on a weekday and from 10-12 on Saturday get free entry. If you can’t visit during those hours, college students can get tickets at the reduced rate of $6.

6. Boston Arts Festival

The Boston Arts Festival, affectionately referred to as the “Boston Ahts Festival,” takes place over three days during the middle of September. It showcases the visual as well as performing arts and features the Boston Ballet and the Jazz Hip Hop Orchestra in addition to the work of internationally recognized painters, sculptors and photographers. Admission to the festival is free for everyone.

7. Rose Art Museum

The Rose Museum of Art, while technically twenty minutes outside of the city in Waltham, is owned by Brandeis University and considered one of Boston’s best art museums. The Museum’s internationally recognized permanent collection includes works by Jasper Johns, Willem De Kooning and Andy Warhol and is free and open to the public.

8. McMullen Museum of Art

Boston College’s art museum, which houses Gothic and Baroque tapestries, Italian paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries and American paintings from Hudson River School artists, offers free admission to everyone.

9. Arts on the Arcade

From July 8th to August 26th, Arts on the Arcade brings together local artists, farmers and performers at the community arcade adjacent to Cambridge Street and City Hall Plaza on Wednesdays from 11am – 3pm. Arts on the Arcade is free to the public.

10. Museum of Bad Art

If you’ve had your fill of masterpieces, check out the MOBA in the basement of the Somerville Theater. The MOBA shows art that is, well, really bad. It has over 400 pieces of bad art in its permanent collection, but only has the space to exhibit around 20-40 works at a time. Admission to the museum is free with admission to the Somerville Theater. Most people come to the theater for concerts, movies and the Harpoon drafts at the concession stand, but the next time you go, take a trip downstairs and visit what the New York Times Magazine has proclaimed, “the best bad art.”
