Fort Point Spring Art Walk - Boston Events INSIDER

Fort Point Spring Art Walk at Boston Events INSIDER

Johnny's Summary

And Boston's "art district" is open as well. Yes, it's basically a giant mall, but it's also a giant museum because you don't *have* to buy anything, and it's neat to meet the actual artists and walk around town. Explore the studios of painters, jewelers, ceramicists, photographers, sculptors, textile artists, and more. Fri 5/11 - Sun 5/13. 617-423-4299. Fort Point neighborhood, Boston, MA .
