The Dig - Greater Boston's Alternative News Source

Upcoming: “Month of free art, music, and food events in Dorchester”

Written by DIG STAFF Posted August 3, 2022 Filed Under: A+E, Visual Arts

Merz Trio performs on Sunday, Sept. 18

“A celebration of thy neighbor and our ability to come together to celebrate our ethnic and cultural diversities.”


We look forward to interviewing curator Jodie Baehre, whose latest creation is a series of events that will transform Dorchester throughout next month.

In the meantime, consider this a save-the-date, complete with a preliminary rundown of events for There Once Was Parking II. More from Baehre below … 

Coming off the success of There Once Was Parking I (January 2022 – Seaport Boston), There Once Was Parking II is a look at how the convergence of people and place can bring about the beauty that is art. This month-long (September 2022) curated art series is a celebration of thy neighbor and our ability to come together to celebrate our ethnic and cultural diversities.  

As neighborhoods become more gentrified and we see the rise of “affordable luxury living,” the loss of free parking, and the ever-growing unattainable cookie-cutter lifestyle, we naturally seek a mosaic that gives a voice to inclusion, and a place of gather. There Once Was Parking II amplifies creative space to explore art, music, and food through a multitude of FREE community events and thoughtful conversation.
