Inspire Arts & Music is proud to announce our 2026 Champion Award Recipient: Marty McGee at this year's Concert in the Park!
Established in 2017, the Champion Award honors individuals who have been extraordinary leaders and philanthropists within their community. Marty will join the ranks of nearly a dozen champions for the arts, including influential community leaders such as former Mayor Walsh and current Mayor Wu who have provided an avenue for the arts to thrive in Boston. Marty will be recognized at our 13th annual Concert in the Park held in Norman B. Leventhal Park on Wednesday, June 24th at 5 pm.
