Just like Sam S. I went to the New Art Center to see curator Caleb Neelon's SPOTHUNTERS exhibition that is on through April - it is a crazy location for an exhibition of graffiti and street art but provided an interesting counterpoint to the extremely suburban surroundings - you park on a completely residential street.

There guest curator program is def. something local Boston artists should take a look at more seriously - it is always good to rock the suburbs with a little bit of the city love.

I am impressed that this more conservative contemporary art gallery was willing to exhibit all kinds of "urban" art!!

I went there Friday evening and saw what some of the highly skilled graffiti artists in Boston and New York have been up to lately.

Cheers to the board at the New Art Center for approving such a cutting edge and controversial showcase!

A community art center that offers courses for adults and kids and has galleries with some interesting and sometimes offbeat offerings. The center is housed in an old church and you can rent space there for events and birthday parties. My one criticism is that too many of the adult classes are held during the day making it tough for those of us who work (during the day) to indulge.  I took a great parent-child clay class there with my daughter. They also have drop in Saturday classes for kids (you don't need to commit in advance) and some single day workshops for adults. Definitely a boon to suburbia.

I'm with Sam S and Alexandra L here, in fact I saw them at the Spothunters opening. Great to see a small community gallery support cutting edge art!
