The 2nd Annual "Celebration of the Arts" Red Carpet Charity Event is scheduled to be held Sunday January 29th, 2012 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the popular venue Estate, located in downtown Boston. This event, organized by local filmmaker Jae Williams of Forever Ink Productions, will raise money for the Boston Arts Academy Foundation, and is slated to bring together a line-up of the Boston area’s best and brightest young talent in performing arts, music, design and fine arts.
