And Our Families: The Community Arts Initiative Artist Project - MFA Boston

"And Our Families" exhibition and project draws inspiration from paintings representing families and portraits from the MFA's collection. Under the guidance of Somerville artist Raul Gonzalez, 91 students from eight after-school community organizations in the Boston area created family portraits using pen, ink, and color on stained paper. This community based art project led to appreciation of those in their families, the combination of the drawings, photographs, and memorabilia and personal objects creating a memorial to the importance of the people that define us.

The Community Arts Initiative is generously supported by the Linde Family Foundation.
