Gateway Arts is Turning 50! Art of the Possible: Gateway Arts at 50

Gateway Arts at 50

Gateway Arts is turning 50! We’re marking this important milestone with Art of the Possible, a year-long series of events, exhibitions, and public programs that will spotlight the essential role of creative expression and meaningful work in the lives of adults with disabilities.

To kick off this exciting year of programming, The Gateway Arts Advisory Committee will host Art of the Possible: Gateway Arts’ 50th Anniversary Benefit Celebration at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston on Wednesday, October 18, at 6:30 pm.

We’ll continue to add more information about the Benefit Celebration and other public programming as we get closer, so check back to learn more.
