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!
Due to some fantastic response from the local media and from the local community we’ve decided it’d be best to extend voting. Originally slated to end today, May 15th, voting will be extended through next week, ending on Friday May 23. If you haven’t done so already, please vote today! And be sure to tell your friends and family about the CommuniTee Art Project. Remember, the winning design will be printed on tee shirts that will be sold around town. The proceeds will be sent right back to where the campaign began - the Joseph J. Hurley and the McKinley public schools in the South End of Boston. The funds will be for art supplies and materials! So again, please, get voting.
Furthermore, the venue has been chosen and the date has been set! The CommuniTee Art Project Party will be held on the evening of Thursday, June 5th, starting at 5:30pm. Click here for the PDF version of the invitation.
