Framingham State University's Danforth Museum and School has three upcoming events in Portuguese! At all of the events, The Danforth will have any written materials in Portuguese as well as English; and there will be Portuguese-speaking people to welcome guests, make their visit to a new place as comfortable as possible, guide them if needed, and answer any questions.

We are really excited to pilot this bilingual programming with our consistently well-attended Drop into Art and our Community Conversations through Art. The Brazilian artists who are speaking at this year's Community Conversations through Art are fabulous artists and wonderful people.

Keynote Speaker: ED AUGUSTUS
Secretary of Housing and Livable Communities, Commonwealth of Massachusetts

Secretary Ed Augustus leads the newly created Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities. The office is dedicated to housing and driving solutions to create more homes and lower costs. It is focused on the urgent need to build places to live that are affordable and closer to public transit - giving residents access to jobs, medical care, groceries, and other essential services. Before joining the Healey administration, Secretary Augustus served as City Manager of Worcester, functioning as the gateway city’s chief administrative and executive officer of more than 200,000 people. As City Manager, Augustus spearheaded the $240 million landmark redevelopment of Worcester’s canal district, including leading the complex negotiation to relocate the Boston Red  Sox AAA affiliate (now the WooSox) to the city and constructing the multi-use Polar Park Stadium.
