MEMBERSHIP E-PASS:

Your Putnam Membership has gone paperless! We no longer issue paper passes to members for their exhibit and movie membership perks. Instead, all passes will be in the form of e-passes and will be issued to their member profile.

When you visit the Putnam, simply tell the ticketing staff that you would like to use your passes, and our staff will have access to them electronically. Any current paper passes you have will still be accepted, but moving forward when you renew your membership, you will be given digital passes.


SAVE ON SELECT PLANS!

Seniors, military, teachers, and college students are eligible for 10% off their Duo, Family, Moviegoers and Individual memberships. To redeem one of these discounts on your initial membership or its renewal, contact Nancy Calzada at 563-336-7285 or ncalzada@putnam.org.
