Following the exciting South End CommuniTee Party and the T-shirt unveiling last Thursday, the stylish T-shirts are now available for purchase on the CitySquares website!
These hip t-shirts, designed by students from the Joseph J Hurley and the McKinley public schools in Boston’s South End, are available in two styles and various sizes. They can be yours for the low price of $20 + shipping and
handling. Your $20 goes to the CommuniTee Art Project. In September we intend to cut a large check to the South End’s McKinley and Joseph J. Hurley School art programs so they can buy supplies and materials for their students! Please, buy a T-shirt, represent the South End, and spread the word!

This Thursday, June 5th, at 5:30 CitySquares is having our first Official CommuniTee Art Project Party. As you probably already know, the CommuniTee Art Project (CAP) is about generating funds for public school art programs. We’re about to wrap up the first CAP for the South End and it’s Joseph J Hurley and McKinley Public Schools. The results have been fantastic, with dozens and dozens of students submitting art work and with hundreds of people voting for their favorite designs. We hope to do this again in other communities!
This Thursday at the CommuniTee party we’re unveiling the winning designs on tee shirts, which will also be for sale at the party and thereafter around town. The proceeds of the tee shirt sales will go to those schools and their art programs to help purchase art supplies. Also at the party, which will be emceed by WCVB’s Bianca de la Garza, we’re going to have a silent auction, of which proceeds go to the school art programs as well. There’s actually quite a bit of valuable items going up for auction too!
You can check out the party on the CitySquares Facebook page, or right here:
When: June 5th, 2008 @ 5:30pm
Where: Gallery XIV, 37 Thayer Street, in Boston’s South End.
Featuring: Cocktails, bites from Red Fez, silent auction!
Please RSVP to Caitlin Sullivan by email at csullivan@citysquares.com. We’re looking forward to seeing you there!

So again, please, get voting.

CitySquares had a heck of a party at Vlora tonight, to officially launch of The First Annual CommuniTee Art Project. For those of you who attended the party, which saw over 200 guests, thank you for your involvement and for your donations! We’ve already raised over $2000 for the McKinley and Hurley schools in the South End. Furthermore, congratulations to Jim on winning the Placido Domingo Raffle, which included two tickets to see Placido Domingo, dinner for two at Vlora in the Back Bay, limousine transportation by MVS Limo, and hotel accommodations courtesy of Courtyard Marriott in South Boston. Pictures from the party can be seen here.
The CommuniTee Art Project is essentially a community project that involves the whole community, but begins and ends with the art programs at the Joseph J. Hurley and the McKinley Elementary Schools in Boston’s South End. Here’s how it works:
If we can be successful with this South End CommuniTee Art Project, we’ll do it again in other communities. So it’s critical that we get as much momentum as we can!
We’re very excited to announce this, and by working with the local media, with local businesses, local residents, students, and everyone else, we can make this a real success. Everyone wins, especially the students - that’s the goal.
We’re also asking businesses to contribute to the project and become an official CommuniTee Sponsor. If you’re a local business and you want to become a sponsor, please contact Caitlin Sullivan at (617) 459-4921 or email her.
Please stay tuned to this blog and to the Official CommuniTee page on CitySquares.com for the latest news. The dates and locations of all events are still being finalized and will be announced soon.
Here’s a video from the party. Sorry about the poor lighting and low resolution.
