Who we are

The Brookline Commission for the Arts supports all visual and performing artists and arts organizations in our town by offering grants made possible by the Massachusetts Cultural Council and by promoting cultural events happening throughout Brookline every year via our website and social media.  

We are a volunteer board who are passionate about growing and developing the arts and events in Brookline. We know that investment in art is an investment in our culture, our vitality, our people, our businesses, and our community as a whole. We hope that you can join us in this work as an artist or a champion of art.
