The Arlington Commission on Arts & Culture is hosting Garage Band, a dance party at the Arlington Service Station, a gas station on Mass Ave in Arlington. Arlington Service Station is located within Arlington’s newly minted Cultural District, and owner Abe Sahli was inspired by the designation to commission local artist Johnny Lapham to paint a mural on his station, including on the pumps! It’s exuberant and beautiful, as you may have seen, and now Abe is getting into concert presenting. Our first event was last June, and we had a crowd of about 1,500 joyful, dancing people. This is a free event focused on bringing together the community.
