Hi all,
In case you can't make to the Exhibit
before it closes on Aug. 22nd at the Crossings Gallery at the Harvard Ed
Portal, here are photo links with a special focus on the two
Allston-Brighton landmarks that have
not yet been rejuvenated. The Ed Portal is open M-F 9-5.
Unbound Visual Arts opened it's newest exhibition, Rejuvenation, on July
20th, 2017. The reception on a hot summer evening attracted over 100
people to the the Crossings Gallery at Harvard University to view the
art created by thirteen artists, learn about landmarks, listen to the
entertainment by jazz singer Beth Purcell and her keyboardist Brian
Friedland, sample the refreshments from Whole Foods Market, have a glass
of wine, take a chance on the raffle and bid on prizes in the silent
auction. There were also three excellent short presentations by three
artists - Heidi Lee, Christine Winship, and Ruth Rieffanaugh. Many of
the artists were also present to talk individually to the visitors as
well. The Curator and exhibition designer, John Quatrale and Karen
Smigliani, informally discussed the exhibition and the importance of
preserving the history, architecture and rebirth of historic landmarks
in much the same way that individuals go through re-birth. The reception
crowd included City Councillor Mark Ciommo, Rep. Kevin Honan, and State
Senator Will Brownsberger.
All the best -- John
