If you’re in Boston this weekend, check out the Fort Point Arts Community 8th Annual Art Walk. It’s a great opportunity to see the work of 75 artists who defiantly create work in this vibrant, eclectic, artist community. 

And if you have the economic luxury to dream of ways to spend your federal rebate check, how about considering supporting some talented local artists by purchasing a work of art?

What happens if you combine a love of glue guns, vinyl records, yummy vegan treats and amazing original tshirt designs all in one hot, sweaty crowded room at Mass Art?  Well, for the price of a scratch ticket, this coming Sunday Mass Market may just be the answer to satisfy your every DIY (that means do it yourself) impulse and support local artists and musicians at the same time! The flea market is bound to have something for everyone whether it’s art, books, music, clothes, djs’ and vegan and veggie foods. Pass the tanning butter (vegan of course).

Thanks to a very generous donation by CRAFTBOSTON, 200 public libraries throughout Massachusetts will have 10 weekend passes available for their members to attend the CRAFTBOSTON event March 28-30, 2008 at Boston’s Seaport World Trade Center.  CRAFTBOSTON is sponsored by The Society of Arts and Crafts.

As a frequent user of the Boston Public Library, I am filled with civic pride and gratitute knowing that the Boston Public Library was the first free municipal library in the country.
