JOIN US Saturday, April 22, 2023 | 4:00 – 7:00PM

This April, the Spring Art Party returns to celebrate the Cambridge Art Association’s vibrant community of artists and art lovers for an early evening celebration at the CAA’s home at 25 Lowell Street. The event will include artwork raffles on original artworks created by CAA community members, live music, delicious bites, and an open bar, all in support of CAA’s work to create opportunities for artists of all ages.

Join us as we honor community members, and launch a new fund – the Artist Emergency Support Fund – designed to provide crucial support to artists for career-related expenses.
