Upcoming East Boston Artists' Group Events.

Gloria Carrigg, one of the coordinators of the East Boston Open Studios was nice enough to email me some flyers for upcoming events. If you can, please come out and support these wonderful artists. To quote Gloria in her email, "We want everyone in the community and the surrounded towns to come, enjoy and participate in our events." For more information about the East Boston Artists' Group in general, please visit their web site at
www.eastbostonartistsgroup.org. (I apologize for the formatting weirdness, it's a result of cutting and pasting stuff directly from Word.)

First on June 24th, they will hold the closing ceremonies for the Boston 375 People's Choice awards. I'll just quote from the flyer:

Even if you missed the 5th Annual East Boston Open Studios, there is still time to see this year’s special exhibit to commemorate Boston’s 375th anniversary.

Our exhibiting artists were asked to submit Boston inspired art pieces, and during Open Studios, visitors chose their favorite and elected a People’s Choice Winner.

Come see if your favorite “People’s Choice” artwork was chosen.
