Outdoor Art in Beantown
- Alix Porras participated in last year’s Fresh Paint event.
If you’re out and about in Boston on April 25, there’s a good chance you’ll run into more than one of the 90 artists who will have set up their easels in the city’s most popular outdoor spots. The Copley Society of Art’s 22nd annual Fresh Paint fundraiser is asking artists to focus on green spaces in Boston.
After the artists have spent the day painting areas like the Esplanade, the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway and the Public Garden, they’ll bring their completed works back to the gallery for a week of public display and silent bids. Fresh Paint will culminate May 8 with the “Green Splash” gala, an evening of food and drinks, live jazz, and silent and live auctions of the works.
Money raised from Fresh Paint is used to support the Copley Society’s exhibitions, lectures, scholarships, residencies and outreach programs. To learn more, visit www.copleysociety.org.
