Hopkinton Center for the Arts (HCA) is pleased to be the recipient of a number of arts-related grants and support through the Mass Cultural Council.

The Massachusetts Cultural Council's mission is to elevate the rich cultural life in Massachusetts. They partner with communities across the Commonwealth to expand access, improve education, promote diversity, and encourage excellence in the arts, humanities, and sciences. Through their efforts, they make our state a better place to live, work, and visit for everyone.

HCA received grants from local cultural councils to support their "town day" concerts happening this summer, including Ashland, Holliston, Milford & Southborough. The summer concert series has grown each year, with a talented roster of diverse musicians providing outstanding entertainment enjoyed by hundreds of residents across several communities.

The HCA is also proud to announce they have been accepted into the cultural investment portfolio as of 2023. The Cultural Investment portfolio provides general operating grants to nonprofit organizations that enrich Massachusetts’ cultural life. The Portfolio works to strengthen a cultural sector that generates $1.2 billion in economic activity, creates thousands of jobs, and delivers programs to more than 20 million people a year. This is a 5-year grant, and the HCA is honored to be a recipient along with so many prestigious organizations in Massachusetts, including the Worcester Art Museum. Boston Ballet and the Discovery Museum.

HCA is a member of the Card to Culture program.
