Original Dewey Square Mural by Brazilian artists Os Gemeos
Three weeks from today on Tuesday, September 23rd a new mural will grace Dewey Square. Murals on this sizable wall (70′ x 76′ ) has raised eyebrows in the past (like Os Gemeos mural shown). The current installation by Matthew Ritchie entitled Salt and Light is coming down and will be replaced by Shinique Smith abstract.
Smith is currently being featured at a MFA exhibit has said she will use her work, Seven Moons, as her inspiration. I’m looking forward to the new installation which is far more bold and colorful than the outgoing mural which I never really connected.
Every week there are free activities that are great for dates or just going out on your own. Break your routine and take advantage of what Boston has to offer. Here are a few fun activities that will fit any budget and offer you an opportunity to get out and see something new.
Every Wednesday, starting at 4PM Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) is free. BoA card holders also have free admission the first full weekend of every month.
Every Thursday, Boston’s Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) is free to the public after 5:00 PM.
The first Friday of each month is the South End First Fridays. More than 60 participating artists open their studios for this monthly event at 450 Harrison Avenue. Also check out one of my favorite galleries, Boston Sculptors Gallery, at 486 Harrison Avenue.

Despite all the gentrification in the South End, I love that a strong arts community remains. I firmly believe that the soul of the South End is tied to the fate of the artists who live and or work in this neighborhood. Their personality is still present despite the million dollar condos that seem to be for sale everywhere.
A great example of this is the current public art display in the BCA Plaza by Liz Nofziger entitled Bounce. BCA resident artist, Nofziger, has installed three conjoined ping-pong tables that are custom engineered to form an over sized ‘communal’ ping pong court. The public is encouraged to play – paddles and balls are available to all.
