Dear readers,

ArtSake’s home is just a mere 3 blocks from Copley Square named for the painter John Singleton Copley. Adjacent to the statue of Copley is the magnificent Boston Public Library, known as the palace for the people. It has spectacular murals by John Singer Sargeant and Pierre Puvis de Chavannes. And an inscription above the keystone of the central entrance, proclaims: “Free To All.” We will continue to stand tall, proud, strong and free. This is our city.

In response to the tragic events at yesterday’s Boston Marathon, general admission to the Museum of Fine Arts is free to the public today (Tuesday, April 16, 2013). The Museum’s galleries and special exhibitions are open for visitors who wish to find a place of respite during this painful time for our community. Drop-in programs, including art-making activities, tours, and story hours for families and children are available today as well as the rest of school vacation week

The ICA Boston is also free today. They hope the museum will offer a place of community & reflection.

For those of us continuing (as we must) with our daily work of making art, here are a few opportunities:
