VISUAL ARTS

The Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University, founded in 1912, is beginning its Centennial year by sharing the work of AIB community artists through the windows of Massachusetts Avenue businesses.

The Massachusetts Avenue Storefront Art Project will include the work of more than 50 artists displayed in 22 storefront windows between Porter and Harvard Squares in Cambridge. All works can be viewed during a 10-minute stroll down Massachusetts Avenue. The exhibit will go past AIB’s future home as planning is underway to create an Arts Center adjacent to Lesley’s University Hall.

Participating stores include TAGS Hardware, Abodeon, Clothware, Coccinelle, Floyd’s 99 Barbershop, Irish Imports, Joie de Vivre, Nomad, Raspberry Beret, Sudo Shoes, Susanna, WardMaps, as well as Lesley’s University Hall, Harvard properties and Gravestar.

A full map of the exhibit locations is available at the University Hall Gallery, 1815 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge.
