I was thrilled to be a participant in ASID New England's Art Walk a few weeks ago. It was an outing open to the interior design community, and members of local chapters of IIDA, IFDA, and of course, ASID were invited. The walk led us down Boston's Newbury Street and into 10 of it's most delightful galleries. Prior to this event, I admit to being a little intimidated by the thought of going into a gallery just to look, if I didn't have an actual project - and expense account - in mind. Now that I have met the friendly and knowledgeable gallery owners, toured their lovely spaces, and got a feel for each one's target clientele, I feel ready to introduce these galleries to my clients and will visit frequently to see what is on display.
Three galleries that I felt resonated most with my tastes are below. Which galleries do you connect with? I'm interested to hear.
