The Multicultural Arts Center is located in East Cambridge adjacent to Kendall Square. Since our founding in 1978, we have worked to bring arts to the people of Cambridge and provide opportunities for artists of diverse backgrounds. Visitors can enjoy performances, exhibitions through our gallery, and access artists' space.

Accessibility at the Multicultural Arts Center

The Multicultural Arts Center is committed to making our programs and spaces welcoming and accessible to all. Our historic building has been updated to improve access throughout, including a fully accessible entrance, elevator, and renovated backstage and performance spaces.

Many of our events include accessibility features such as ASL interpretation, multilingual interpretation, or captioning. These services vary by program, and details are always noted on individual event listings. If you have specific access needs or would like to request accommodations, please contact us in advance—we’re happy to work with you to make your visit comfortable and enjoyable.

During performances, our gallery space is available as a designated quiet room for anyone who may need a sensory break or a calmer environment.

We continually strive to improve accessibility across our programs, and we welcome your feedback and suggestions.
