Excerpt from Hinge Block: A Proposed Cultural Complex for Greater Boston
In February, 1968, a group of Boston business and professional men and a local university administrator, all members of the Boston Study Group, and some of whom also serve as board members of theatre, opera, and arts organizations. Formed the Boston Study Group Foundation in order to examine the perilous financial position of several major arts organizations and, if possible, to suggest solutions.
The study group reached the conclusion that financial problems are to a large extent caused by inadequate facilities. It was found that existing physical plants are too small, or outdated. Poorly located, or too expensive to operate profitably. It was also found that the result ing financial strain has in turn created artistic problems. Although new facilities emerged as an obvious answer. The high costs of construction have appeared to put this solution beyond reach. As a result, the numerous patrons and benefactors of these arts organizations are finding it difficult to guarantee the continuity of artistic activity that has contributed enormously to the duality of Boston.
The Boston Study Group Foundation proposes the construction of a new kind of arts complex, based on government assistance and on the close integration of large scale real estate development. The overall concept is to provide a solution to cultural housing problems and thus lower operating costs. The solution suggested is a new kind of cooperation of local and federal governments, private enterprise and arts groups.
