Articles about the "Boston art scene"

Over the past year, many galleries have been closing. It is upsetting to the regulars who visit there, however many of the artists and gallery owners thing that it is best to draw out before finances get rough. I think that there has been a relatively big shift in the art scene of Boston. Many artists and galleries have not been able to promote or advertise their work as much because they need to cut back on costs. Many artists have been decreasing the amount of work displayed, or others are trying to continue to sell work. Artists have been switching galleries, shows have been moving to other states, and the art fairs are getting more and more artists wishing to display their work.

These changes could affect the art world because with less galleries and less art, not only does the artist find himself or herself not getting enough money, but there is less of a promotional aspect of the art world throughout Boston.

I have been to art galleries, I love them. I love them because they all have a distinct style, and are very cheery. It is almost better than a museum, because the paintings, sculptures, and installations, are not just hung one after another, spacing the work is almost another art. In my opinion, its breathtaking and satisfying to go inside a gallery and see an artists work all finished off inside frames. Galleries show that there is appreciation for art in the world that is not necessarily from famous Italian, French, and Spanish artists from the 17th and 18th century.
