Thanks to all who came to our recent opening for the BCA 27th Drawing Show: Yušká: Uncoil, curated by Erin Genia (@emgenia on IG). We want to share some pics from the day and some of the artwork that makes this show stunning! Haven't see it yet? Come and enjoy the exhibition yourself. The BCA 27th Drawing Show: Yušká: Uncoil runs through August 3, Wednesday–Saturday, 1–6pm — except the week of July 4 when we are closed. We could not do this important work without the support of BCA community members like you. Please consider making a gift by June 30 to ensure that BCA can continue to amplify and celebrate Boston’s unique artistic voices. Donate here: https://lnkd.in/eChMpxb4.

BCA Receives $10,000 award from TD Charitable Foundation to support Artist Residencies Boston Center for the Arts (BCA) is delighted to be a recipient of a $10,000 grant awarded by TD Charitable Foundation, the philanthropic arm of TD Bank, to support BCA artist residencies. The grant is part of the TD Charitable Foundation’s TD Ready Commitment portfolio and marks the first time BCA has received this award. The foundation's support of BCA allows the organization to help further direct resources to Boston-area artists. BCA is where Boston artists create — through BCA's long- and short-term residency programs, BCA is able to provide artists in the visual, dance and movement, multidisciplinary, and theatre arts, a rare but essential need every artist has: the ability to think, explore, experiment, and push their creative practice forward. This grant from the TD Charitable Foundation is also especially welcome as it will help counter the ongoing crisis of affordable artists’ studio space in the Boston area as they create new groundbreaking work. "TD is committed to initiatives that expand inclusion efforts in the arts for all of our community members,” said Sheryl McQuade, Regional President, Metro New England, TD Bank. “We are proud to be part of what Boston Center for the Arts is doing to help artists in our community access affordable studio spaces and remove barriers to create more cultural opportunities for all." *** ABOUT THE TD CHARITABLE FOUNDATION The TD Charitable Foundation is the charitable giving arm of TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank®, one of the 10 largest banks in the U.S., providing over 9.8 million customers with a full range of retail, small business and commercial banking products and services at more than 1,100 convenient locations throughout the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Metro D.C., the Carolinas and Florida. Since its inception in 2002, the Foundation has distributed over $323 million through donations to local nonprofits from Maine to Florida.
