Jackie McRath, NEPC poet, is raising money to administer the 2021 Invitational Theresa-India Young Show at the Piano Gallery and to complete a documentary of her life and work (more information below).
Please consider making a donation if you’re able, and please share the fundraiser (and information about Theresa) with others who might be interested.

She taught these diverse cultural and artistic skills at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston for twenty years.
