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.
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
