creative Hub Worcester

Creative Hub Worcester is an essential partner in Ponte Community Arts’ work and our home base in Worcester. At the Community Art Center at 2 Ionic Avenue, Creative Hub provides space for us to bring people together through free arts and STEAM workshops, youth programming, and community events.

Their support helps turn our ideas into opportunities for our neighbors to create, learn, and connect. Being part of the Hub’s community of artists, educators, and local organizations also creates opportunities to share resources, build relationships, and develop new projects together.

As Ponte grows, this partnership helps us put down roots and expand what we can offer our community. We’re deeply grateful to Creative Hub Worcester for welcoming us and sharing our commitment to making creativity accessible to everyone.

Card to culture

At Ponte Community Arts, cost should never be a barrier to creativity.

Ponte proudly participates in Mass Cultural Council’s Card to Culture program in collaboration with the Massachusetts Department of Transitional Assistance, the WIC Nutrition Program, and the Massachusetts Health Connector.

Massachusetts residents with an EBT, WIC, or ConnectorCare card may receive free admission to Ponte-produced workshops, classes, and cultural programs that would otherwise charge an admission fee.

  1. Visit the program or event page and use the regular Zeffy registration link.

  2. If the program is already free, register normally.

  3. If the program has a fee, enter the discount code CARDTOCULTURE during checkout to receive free registration.

  4. Please bring an eligible EBT, WIC, or ConnectorCare card to the program. No photo identification is required, and the person whose name appears on the card does not need to be present.

Card to Culture registration is available for up to five participants per card, per program, subject to space and availability. Advance registration is encouraged.
