Arts Collaborative Medford concludes Part I of an online auction of artwork by the late Medford artist Louise Musto-Choate to benefit a new scholarship in her memory. Louise, a founding member of ACM who passed away in 2020, created many beautiful, adventurous pieces. You can own one (or more) of them! Proceeds from the auction will help fund the Louise Musto-Choate Memorial Scholarship to provide studio space for emerging artists. Visit the ACM’s online auction page to view the 44 available items and place bids. Appointments also may be made toe view the items in person, Tuesdays through Thursdays from noon to 4:30 p.m.; choose a time on the ACM web page.

You can place bids on as many of the artworks as you wish. Bids will close at 10 p.m. today, March 30. Parts II and III of the auction will take place later this spring and offer a different selection.

Arts Collaborative Medford’s mission is to provide a welcoming, accessible, and inclusive space to create, enjoy, and engage with a diversity of arts and culture experiences. ACM recently opened Medford’s first community arts center, which includes a variety of spaces for studios, exhibitions, classes and workshops, and events of many kinds, on two floors at 162 Mystic Avenue.
