WHAT IS THE CULTURE PASS?
Culture Pass is a year-long membership created by The Zay Project, designed to bring people closer to the artists, leaders, and cultural moments shaping our communities.
From private dinners and behind-the-scenes experiences to VIP access at festivals and special invites you won’t see on Instagram — Culture Pass members move differently.
Whether you’re here to connect, support, or be inspired — this pass was built for you.
