If you ever dreamed that your very own paintings might end up on the walls of a museum, this is the museum that proves that dreams can come true! Of course, we aren't necessarily talking about good dreams.... We understand the full meaning of the term provenance when we think about MOBA's prizes, because some of them came straight off the streets of nearby Jamaica Plain, and we used to live along those streets. (Fortunately, we weren't attempting to paint in those days.) But look, the world is full of artists, and, on garbage nights especially, the streets are full of art. All it took was a few geniuses like MOBA's founders to make the necessary connections. They rotate the really "good" stuff in this basement display. The documentation is awesome.
