Spontaneous Celebrations

Jamaica Plain’s Community Arts Headquarters

A week ago, on June 2nd, our long-time festival artist extraordinaire, Roxana Bentes de Moura, passed away. 

We have been collectively grieving and celebrating her life. Roxana was such a core and profound part of our festival arts programs for almost 40 years!

Her partner Tom and closest friend Zafiro will be going to Mexico to join in ceremony with her family soon. We are sending along donations from this community to her family. 

Please, if you can donate.

You can send donations to our Venmo, PayPal, or send a check this week.
