This summer, Target, the ubiquitous big-box retailer, is again sponsoring free or reduced-admission days at 12 arts institutions around Southern California.

Most of the days fall on weekends, which makes taking the kids ideal. But visitors should be forewarned that some special exhibitions may not be covered by free days and may require separate paid admission.
