Card to Culture

At HCA we believe the arts should be accessible to all! That’s why we’re proud to partner with the Mass Cultural Council, Department of Transitional Assistance, WIC Nutrition Program, and the Massachusetts Health Connector to offer the Card to Culture program — the most comprehensive effort of its kind in the nation to open doors to arts and culture experiences for low-income families.

Card to Culture lets EBT, WIC, and ConnectorCare card holders obtain tickets to most HCA events for no cost. This special Card to Culture ticket offers the experience of performances that span the genres – concerts, dance performances, theatrical performances, open mics, jazz jams, or our Children’s Entertainment Series. Admission to our art exhibitions is always free and open to the public. 

EBT, WIC, and ConnectorCare card holders must present their card in person at the HCA Box Office to receive the Card to Culture free ticket. Maximum of four (4) tickets per card holder per event. HCA does not process EBT or WIC transactions — cash or other payment must be provided for concessions. To obtain your Card to Culture ticket ahead of time reach out to us at info@hopartscenter.org to reserve your tickets. See the full list of participating organizations offering EBT, WIC, and ConnectorCare discounts.
