Would you like to see more creative, educational public art in Brookline? At a fun evening of music, food, dancing and a silent auction, at the beautiful Boston University Booth Theatre, at 820 Commonwealth Ave, Brookline, members of the Brookline community gathered to raise funds to benefit the BCA Fund for Public Art.
The event was a great success! Stay tuned to see how these funds will be used to create educational public art in Brookline over the next years. |
