SOUTH BOSTON OPEN STUDIOS 2009 10/31-11/01

MARK YOUR CALENDARS for South Boston's LARGEST annual ART EVENT!

Saturday Oct 31 & Sunday Nov 1, 2009 12PM - 6PM

Please join me on Saturday and Sunday, as I will be showing my paintings, digital illustrations, and graphic design work in studio #411 in the Distillery.

"Artists and craftspeople of South Boston will open their doors to the public Saturday and Sunday, October 31st and November 1, 2009, as part of the annual South Boston Open Studios event. Visitors will be able to talk to and make purchases directly from the artists while touring the creative environments in which the artwork is produced. The weekend-long event also provides a great opportunity to sample many of this historic neighborhood's restaurants, cafes, pubs, and retail shops.

Numerous disciplines will be represented throughout the dozens of participants, including: sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking, installation, photography, video, jewelry, ceramics, woodworking, fabric and performance art. Much of the work will be in-process and the artists will be on hand for questions and conversations. Participating organizations and galleries include The Distillery (which will showcase three galleries and over 50 artists) located at 516 East 2nd Street, King Terminal at 110 K Street & 570 E 1st Street, and Norman Crump Studio at 793 East Sixth Street.

The event is free to the public, rain or shine, noon to 6pm each day. Public transportation is easy, take the Red Line to Broadway and walk East, or take the #7 City Point bus from South Station to Elkins St."

A History of Marine Mammals at the Aquarium TONIGHT! RSVP REQUIRED

Millions of visitors have enjoyed marine mammal programs at the Aquarium over the past 40 years and word on the street is that marine mammals have been around for THOUSANDS of years. Training philosophy, public awareness and presentation style have changed significantly since 1969. From the original harbor seal exhibit, which was open 24/7, to the ship Discovery, to the recently opened New Balance Foundation Marine Mammal Center, explore the unique history of marine mammal training and presentation, and learn about some of the Aquarium's celebrated animals.

Jenny Montague’s marine mammal training career has spanned almost 30 years. It began in 1981 in California, where she worked with a variety of animals, including harbor seals, orcas, Asian river otters, dolphins, California sea lions and a number of stranded cetaceans. She has been at the Aquarium since 1988 and is currently the Assistant Curator of Marine Mammals.

It starts tonight at the Aquarium (map) at 7PM!
