On Saturday I am going to be previewing the MassArt Spring Sale!  If you live in the Boston area – please be sure to come back for details and even check it out for yourself. The sale is open to the public May 4-May 9, from 10:00am-7:00pm.  There will be original works pf jewelry, glass, sculpture, photography, ceramics, fibers, painting and more, all created by MassArt students and alumni.  Profits from sales benefit the artists and help support student scholarships.  So, come find a unique gift that gives back!

The sale is held in Tower Building lobby, 621 Huntington Avenue, Boston MA – accessible via the Green line “E” train (Longwood stop) or the 39 bus.  Visa, Mastercard, cash and checks are accepted.
