We are embarking on our third year of First Thursdays which brings local art and performance to our 'main street' as we work to create a thriving, vibrant business district along Centre and South Streets for all to enjoy.

First Thursdays promises to be an even bigger and brighter 2007 season – but we need your help.

The Massachusetts Cultural Council awarded us a $20,000 matching grant but now we need your help to raise the matching funds. We rely on the generosity of residents and businesses who care about bringing art, community, and vitality to our street.o

Please help us help the community by supporting First Thursdays at a level that is comfortable to you.

Make a secure donation through the PayPal "Make a Donation" button below. Your fully tax-deductible donation will make a big difference.

If you prefer you can mail your donation to JP CSMS, P.O. Box 302712, Jamaica Plain, MA 02130.

Thank you!
