Third Thursdays

Selected from our Neighborhood Salon Luminary program, we invite the best of Boston's artists and culture-makers to take over the Museum. Featuring writers, producers, photographers, multi-media artists, and community organizers, this creative social circle captures the spirit of Isabella's "salons" to give you a fresh look at the historic collection.

Program for the Evening

In the Courtyard // 5:30 - 8:30 pm
40 Million Feet is the approximate distance from Boston to Kathmandu, the homes of bandmates Charlie Giargiari and Shyam Nepali. Mixing the Nepalese sarangi and acoustic guitar, they put together an eclectic and unpredictable performance that challenges cultural barriers through art.

In the Education Studio // 5:30 - 8:30 pm
Capture yourself as a work of art. Have your portrait taken by Feda Eid and frame it with your own personal flair.

In Calderwood Hall // 5:30 - 8:30 pm, with Q+A at 7:30 pm
Watch select episodes of "The Pineapple Diaries," a comedic web series created by Dominican-American writer Paloma Valenzuela. Follow four best friends from the predominantly Dominican neighborhood of Jamaica Plain as they discover themselves, each other, and the absurdities of everyday life.

In the Galleries // 6:30 & 8 pm
Join artists Sabrina Dorsainvil and Elisa Hamilton in the Tapestry Room for a frenzy of collective drawing and imaginative creation.

In the Living Room // 7 pm
Kadahj Bennett performs "Paranoia Noir," songs and stories on masculinity, mental health, and men of color.
