A few years ago, I did a few shows through
Out of the Blue Gallery here in Central Square. At the time, I was still down on the South Shore with my mum. Tom Tipton, who runs the gallery, sets up monthly shows at restaurants, coffee shops and bars around the area.
I decided a little while ago that I had to make a real effort to get my work seen, so yesterday I went over to talk to him and set up a show.
On Saturday, September 3rd I'll be bringing a 12 or 14 paintings down to
Brookline Lunch on Brookline Street, about a block from my house, and setting up an exhibit of my new work.
There's no reception or anything. It's not that sort of venue. But people will be able to see the work and that's all I really care about at this point.
If you'd like to check it out, head on over to
9 Brookline Street, in Cambridge, MA anytime after the 3rd.
The only potential problem I foresee is that I don't have 12 to 14 paintings with which I'm actually happy right now. Well, I've always thrived on deadlines. I guess there'll be a lot of painting in my immediate future.
But not tonight. Tonight, because I have my evenings to myself again, I'll be headed over to the Cantab for their weekly open mic poetry slam. Not that I'll be reading anything- but I've always liked what they do there, and it's literally been years since I've had a Wednesday night off.
