Attendees had the pleasure of hearing from local female artist, Christine Vaillancourt, whose work is featured in Girard’s rotating galleries. Christine discussed her vision and motivation behind her paintings currently on display at Girard, as well as the impact the arts have made in her life. Peter Roth, founder of New Atlantic Development, developer of Girard, shared with the group the inspiration behind Girard’s architecture, design and gallery space. New Atlantic Development also provided a donation to the Junior League of Boston to support their work in the community.

The Junior League capped off the intimate evening with a discussion on the impactful work the JL Boston Arts Program has made in the community by teaching young women life skills through the exposure of arts related disciplines. Following the presentation, attendees were invited to tour through Girard’s gallery spaces, to experience first-hand art created by local Boston artists.

“We value creating connections with local Boston organizations and the Girard team is pleased to support the work of the Junior League of Boston,” said Peter Roth. “It’s wonderful to see the local community, consisting of all ages and demographics, being brought together through art and culture. New Atlantic has a strong passion for the arts and JL Boston’s Programs align with our overall goal of linking the public with the local design community.”

The Junior League of Boston is part of the Association of Junior Leagues International, an organization of 292 Junior League chapters in four countries. The organization is composed of dedicated and creative women from varying backgrounds and interests, who committed to promoting voluntarism, developing tomorrow’s healthy and confident women leaders and improving communities through effective action and leadership.

“Training women leaders and our community service programs like JL Boston Arts are made possible by generous donations and partnerships in the community. The Gallery Walk & Talk event with Girard was an example of how art inspires and supports individuals in their daily lives and we were thrilled to partner for this event and share the stories of the young women we work with.” Pamela Lynch, JL Boston, President said.
