BofA Turning Branches Into Galleries for Disadvantaged Artists

Artists living with disabilities or dealing with homelessness will soon have a new place to exhibit and find buyers for their work: Bank of America branches.

Bank of America Corp. is investing $2 million and working with the organization ArtLifting to display artwork at almost 100 financial centers across the U.S., eventually expanding to 900. The initial pieces to be shown are by artists from New York, Denver, San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle, Houston and other U.S. cities, the lender said in a statement Thursday.
