Boston is ready to embark on a radical new partnership with arts community linking real estate developments and cultural organizations.
"The move also suggests Boston is getting behind a strategy that other cities have used successfully for years - linking real estate developments and cultural organizations to increase the appeal of new projects and provide sustained revenue for arts groups... The Museum of Fine Arts is embarking on a massive $425 million expansion. The long-stalled renovation of the historic Opera House is expected to begin before the end of the year. The planned Institute of Contemporary Art on the waterfront includes a new theater as well as galleries for art."
