Thank you so much to those of you who joined us on May 21 in celebrating the launch of Issue 08: Face to Face with our friends Boudoir at the Best Bees warehouse. We’re still buzzing with excitement!

We were thrilled to partner once again with the Boston-based collaborative Boudoir, whose DJs Math3ca, Adam Unknown, Bricklayer, Ms. Mango, and Mx. Blaire brought the best tunes for getting people on the dance floor. Follow along with them for a whole bunch of events coming up this summer.

We’d also like to thank our venue hosts, Best Bees, who graciously welcomed us into their space. Since 2010, The Best Bees Company has installed and maintained honeybee hives on commercial and residential properties in urban centers across the US with a mission to improve bee health and expand the bee population. If you are interested in hosting a hive at your home or office, get in touch with them!

If you missed our editor-in-chief’s speech at the event, here’s a little recap: Parties are really important to BAR‘s mission. We believe that creating safe and fun spaces for our community to gather, let loose, and celebrate with one another fosters a more engaged arts ecosystem that helps keep creative communities in Boston. Your support is crucial to making these events happen, thank you for being a part of the growing BAR community.

Please enjoy photos taken by Logan Wilder for Boston Art Review and don’t forget to tag us / use the credit line: Logan Wilder for the Boston Art Review Issue 08 Launch Party, Spring 2022.  All photos are available for download here. If you are pictured here and would like to be credited or have your photo removed from the public album, please email us (editorial@bostonartreview.com)

Missed the event? You can still order a copy of Issue 08: Face to Face here. 

P.S. If you came to the party, but forgot to grab your issue, help us cover our costs and keep track of your order by paying for shipping here. 

 

Thank you to our event sponsors: 

Samuel Adams, Topo Chico, and Harvard Art Museums
