Free Ticket Programs
HCA Art Pass Program
At the Hopkinton Center for the Arts we believe the arts are for everybody. Our Art Pass Program helps provide meaningful access to the arts to those who might not normally be able to afford to attend performances and events. This season we hope to provide 200 free tickets to music concerts, children's performances, and other special events to community members in Hopkinton and surrounding MetroWest cities and towns. We are committed to opening our doors to everyone in our community through this program and by partnering with local organizations.
The HCA Art Pass may be used for:
- Open Mic
- Children's Entertainment Series
- Jazz Jam
- Cabaret Open Mic
Thank you Natick Youth in Philanthropy for making this program possible.
If your organization would like to be a part of our Art Pass program, please email caitlin@hopartscenter.org to learn more.
