Mother Brook Arts & Community Center is a 501(c)(3) organization in East Dedham committed to building community through the arts. It strives to encourage the imagination of youth, inspire and expand the lives of adults and seniors and attract established and emerging artists of excellence and relevance. MBACC provides studio space, adult and children’s classes, performances, arts programming and exhibitions.

Art in Giving is an organization that combines art and philanthropy by raising money for childhood cancer research through the sale of fine art.  Up to 50 percent of the proceeds from the sale of art through Art in Giving are donated to The Rachel Molly Markoff Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charity that makes grants to cancer researchers.

“Collaborating with Art in Giving provides us with a distinctive opportunity to introduce new artists to our community and support a great cause,” said MBACC Executive Director Jean Ford Webb.
