Wondering what our artist are up to when they aren't eating ice cream under their art? Then head over to Beacon Gallery at 524B Harrison Ave in Boston to see "Real F.R.I.E.N.D.S.," a show conceived and currated by our current Boylston Street artist Jaamal Eversley. With its unique concept of collaboration and friendship, Real F.R.I.E.N.D.S offers a counterpoint to current events with fun, colorful pieces focused on themes of friendship and love. The intention of this exhibit is twofold: first, to invite the community to experience interdisciplinary collaborations constructed around Eversley’s artistic avatar Spencer Ward, a bold nerd. Second, Real F.R.I.E.N.D.S intends to reinforce the belief that a successful collaborative process strengthens communal bonds and generates dynamic creativity. (Plus, artist Fernando Fula, who showed in our South Boston store is one of the featured artists!) Show runs through November, 2020

Join us at our Boylston Street store on Thursday, 6/24 from 7 pm - 9 pm for our first artist reception in over a year! Grab some ice cream and talk to artist Kal Anderson about the current installation of the Pond Collection! There are just over a dozen paintings up, all from the 2020 collection. Kal will have postcard packs of the installed paintings available for sale, as well as the paintings themselves. This is the first time this collection has been shown in person!

From June through September, 2022, we have a very special art exhibit up on in our Coolidge Corner location. Residents of the Mt. Pleasant Home, a nonprofit residential care community in JP created all of the art work you see as part of the Opening Minds through Art (OMA) program, facilitated by Goddard House Community Innitiatives. OMA is an award-winning, evidence based, intergenerational, abstract art-making program for older adults and those living with dementia. We hope you'll come in this summer to see what they have created.
