Frank Hatch Free Day is held annually in honor of Francis “Frank” Hatch (1925-2010), longtime Gardner Museum trustee, community advocate, and supporter of the arts and culture in the city. This program is supported in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, which receives support from the State of Massachusetts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
