We are pleased to participate in the Card to Culture program, a collaboration between Mass Cultural Council and the Department of Transitional Assistance, Massachusetts Health Connector, and Women, Infants & Children (WIC) Nutrition Program by extending discounts to EBT, WIC, and ConnectorCare cardholders. Cardholders are eligible for free or discounted entry at our public program events, including both virtual and in-person programs. There are no restrictions on the number of times an individual can present a card for admission and no restrictions on the number of tickets held per event (except for fundraising and cultivation events). See the full list of participating organizations offering EBT, WIC, and ConnectorCare discounts.

Our programs take place in person as well as virtually via Zoom or YouTube. All online programs are in English and have closed captioning enabled through Zoom or YouTube. If you would like to attend a program in person and are in need of accommodations, please register early and note your accessibility needs so we can make attendance feasible.  If you need ASL interpretation, please register at least two weeks in advance, to ensure time to secure an interpreter.
