Mechanics Hall is proud to be a participating organization in the Card to Culture program. A collaboration between the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the Department of Transitional Assistance, the Women, Infants & Children (WIC) Nutrition Program, and the Massachusetts Health Connector, the Card to Culture program makes art and cultural experiences accessible to low-income families for whom cost is a barrier to participation.
How it works
WIC cardholders, EBT cardholders, and ConnectorCare cardholders may obtain free or reduced-price tickets (limited number of tickets available) to most events held at Mechanics Hall. Participating events will be labeled on the landing page for the event, and instructions to obtain tickets will be listed on the Purplepass Event Ticketing page.
