Boston, MA – Tony Fusco and Robert Four are proud to announce the 22nd Annual Boston International Fine Art Show.  Featuring the work of 40 galleries from around the world, this year’s Boston International Fine Art Show will offer original works of art that satisfy a wide array of collectors, tastes and price ranges.  The show takes place October 18-21, opening with a Gala Preview to benefit the groundbreaking Art for Justice Fund on Thursday, October 18 at the Cyclorama Boston Center for the Arts.  www.FineArtBoston.com.

The Gala Preview is an elegant evening where attendees have first choice of the works on view while enjoying fine food and wine and live music.  All of the proceeds from Gala Preview ticket sales will benefit The Art for Justice Fund, www.ArtforJusticeFund.org . Founded by Agnes Gund with a $100 million donation from the sale of a beloved painting, The Art for Justice Fund makes grants to organizations, advocates, and artists leading impactful and cutting-edge work to safely reduce jail and prison populations across the country. Tickets and more information will be available online at www.FineArtBoston.com/gala.

“It is rare that the arts have the opportunity to benefit such an important cause as criminal justice and prison reform,” comments co-producer Tony Fusco.  “If you have never been to an opening gala of a fine art show, or have never visited our show in Boston, we encourage you to join us this year.  The range of Old Masters, historic, 20th century and contemporary work by leading galleries is unique in the country, and will astound you.”
