CulturePeel has teamed up with the beautiful Back Bay Italian furniture showroom Il Decor to demonstrate how art can pair with design to bring spaces to life. Our “Spring Awakening” show of John Blee’s abstract expressionist paintings is now up at 10 St. James Street. John Blee’s work is in the collections of the Museum of…
“What am I going to make for dinner, but what do We do about the world?” Last spring, I didn’t find this question – uttered with raw despair by Girlfriend in Jackie Sibblies Drury’s play Really – particularly striking as I first read the script. Not overly concerned with the state of the world, I…
So glad I came across this site just before April break (and so bummed about how much I spent on tickets to the very same shows just a week earlier)! ArtsBoston’s BosTix program is offering some amazing deals for theater, dance, the circus – it’s a long list of great entertainment options for all ages. Check it…
“I don’t typically hang my work in cafes,” says the cutting-edge Boston-based artist Markus Sebastiano, whose work was selected for an MFA Summer Party auction and can be found all over Boston, and who has worked with the W Hotel and the Lot F Gallery. “But the interior space at Pure Cold Press is ideal.” Cold-pressed juice…
Did you know that Newton Open Studios is happening this weekend, April 9-10? Neither did I (where is the advertising for these events?) – but then I ended up exploring SoWa – especially that wildly picturesque alleyway at 450 Harrison, with all the galleries and design shops (I wanted to check out Casa Design and wasn’t disappointed).…
Only today and the weekend left to check out the pretty amazing lineup of events at Boston Design Week, which ends April 10th! Some ongoing highlights topping my list: AD20/21: Art & Design of the 20th & 21st Centuries and The Boston Print Fair Mass Art’s Annual All School Show And very cool…
Boston-based artist, former Newbury Street gallery director, and founder of the Plein-Air Art Academy Diana Stelin is preparing to teach kids pop art in the spring. The Academy is also running a first-of-its-kind Pre-K/Kindergarten art contest with entries due March 31. In Mid-April, you can join the schools’ immensely popular plein-air painting event: Cherry Blossoms at Arnold Arboretum. And during ArtWeek Boston,…
I’ve discovered, over three decades of museum visits, that when it comes to time spent and works seen, less is often more. I used to feel guilty admitting it, but no longer. Because when I limit myself and absorb only as much as I feel I need to fuel or inspire or educate me in that moment, I find that the…
If you want to get a broad and fairly complete sense of the type of work Boston artists are creating at this very moment, you can: visit Newbury Street’s countless galleries, spend a First Friday night at SoWa artists’ studios (SoWa = area South of Washington St. in the South End), meander around Tremont Street,…
Having lived back in Boston for nearly a year, it was high time to venture out to a SoWa First Friday at the SoWa Artists Guild. And although one evening didn’t leave enough time to explore all the floors (or even all the studios on one floor – there was so much to see), I…
