For over ten years we've built our network entirely in person. Welcome to our very first newsletter!
If you're reading this we've met in person! (Remember what it was like to shake hands?) We miss seeing you in the shop and out in the vibrant art world that is Boston. For over 10 years we've been so busy in the workshop, we are embracing this strange time to discover the virtual world! Around the Corner is a home for artists, collectors and enthusiasts. We can't wait to see you back in our cozy space, but for now, we still have so much to share that we are coming directly to your home.
UPDATE: We took a bucket of paint to our walls and website!
We have more digital content than we've ever had before! While we are extending our virtual capabilities for design consultations. You can purchase a gift card for future use!
We are keeping our family and yours safe by staying home and following guidance from our city and state officials. We are closed to the public tentatively until May 18th. Email us to ask about virtual design service. You can expect the same quality and creativity that you get every day at Around the Corner. Now more than ever we want to make sure we are supporting our artist community with discounts and creative solutions to help you promote yourself both virtually and for future shows. As always we're here to help curate and advocate for buyers and sellers alike to keep the art world in motion.
There are countless artists, galleries and creative adventures that we want to share. Stay tuned for more, but for now the City of Boston (Artist relief fund) is providing many opportunities to apply for help or donate. Here are our highlighted partnerships:
Our gallery partner A R E A has created CONSTRUCTIONA R E A, an online platform to showcase off-site exhibitions and offer visitors a curated selection of works available for sale in Boston.
As an advisory council member for the Boston Center for the Arts we invite you to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the BCA as both a creative incubator of bold artistic expression and a contemporary curator of the Boston arts experience
Our Museum Council Membership brings us closer to each special exhibit and program that the Museum of Fine Arts has to offer. Now you can enjoy virtual tours, classes and exhibitions including Writing the Future: Basquiat and the Hip Hop Generation
The South End Business Alliance has been an integral part of our in person networking from day one. These days the SEBA Task force has taken neighborhood small business advocacy to the next level, offering webinars, workshops and virtual promotion to help boost everyone's pivotal strategy.
Thank you for being a part of the Around the Corner family. Framing is integral to the artist ecosystem. Our mission has always been focused on the cyclical relationship of artists and customers. This passion was cultivated during my time painting at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. As a staff comprised entirely of artists we have always understood the importance of supporting our community. We are in this together now more than ever. Reach out to connect, brainstorm and share. We are here to provide guidance and solutions.
