Join on Thursday, November 30, 2023, from 6 - 7:30 p.m. at Boston City Hall for the Fay Chandler EMERGING Art Exhibition Gallery Reception. We'll be celebrating all of this year's selected artworks and announcing the winners of the award categories!

ABOUT FAY CHANDLER
In 1960, Fay Chandler was a 39-year-old mother of four who was unsure what to do with her life. She wanted to make a difference, but didn't know how. Through her passion and her strong stewardship to support art and community, she eventually used an inheritance to buy a long-decommissioned fire station in Brighton which she resurrected as artists' studios. From there, with friends, she developed the concept of an organization that would act as a broker between artists with art to give and social service organizations with walls to cover. This became The Art Connection. Fay particularly believed in helping young people: as such she supported a vast array of arts programs throughout eastern Massachusetts.
