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.
