Hi everyone!
This Saturday, October 10th, I will be leading a group from the steps of
Dudley House to a guided tour of the Boston Public Library, highlighting
the architecture of the Copley Square Main branch, as well as its many
works by famed sculptors and painters. The tour lasts about an hour. The
Boston Public Library is listed by the American Institute of Architects
among the top buildings in the country. Admission is free, so come see
what this building has to offer! We will meet at Dudley at 10:15am and
leave as a group. Send me a quick email if you're interested in coming
so I can estimate how big our group will be.
Hope to see you there,
Charlie
Hello all!
I hope you'll join me this evening in the Fireside Room for the
second "Knit for Charity" event of the semester. This is a great
chance to learn a new skill for a good cause - we provide the
materials and instruction, and you start off making a 9x9" square for
the Pine Street Inn Knit-A-Thon - beginners very welcome! On November
9, all the squares will be sewn into blankets downtown and our
fundraising efforts will all be tallied, so I hope you can help!
Tonight's event is from 6:30-7:30 in the Dudley House Fireside Room.
Knitting group will meet as regular afterward, 7:30-10 downstairs in
the Gato Rojo.
For more information about this and other events, please check the
Dudley House Arts website: fas.harvard.edu/~dudley/fellows/art/

Best,
Katie
Hello all!

More information to come, but we're tentatively still meeting at 7:30
pm to walk over tomorrow night.
Hope to see you dancing!

Hey everybody,
The First Friday of each month (meaning this Friday, October 2nd), the
members of the SoWa artists guild open their studios in downtown Boston
to the public. This is a cool opportunity to meet the artists in their
element and view their latest works. The Guild tries to make art and
artists accessible to everyone, so come and enjoy the fun. The event is
free. Feel free to leave early or stay late. We will meet on the steps
of Dudley House at 5pm and leave as a group. Remember your Charlie Card
or $4 cash for T fare. Send me a quick email if you are interested in
coming so I can have an idea of how many people to expect.
Hope to see you there,
Charlie

Hello everyone!
Just a quick reminder that I'll be leading a group to Boston's very own
and very free Museum of Fine Arts this Saturday at noon. There are a
number of exhibits that end soon, so take advantage of the opportunity
to see them before they leave! We will depart from the steps of Dudley
House. Send me a quick email if you are interested in coming so I can
have an idea of how big our group will be.
Hope to see you there,
Charlie

Renovating a "House of Pleasure": Japanese Screen Conservation
Two-Point Perspective Gallery Talk
Arthur M. Sackler Museum @ 485 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02138
Anne Rose Kitagawa, assistant curator of Japanese art, Harvard Art
Museum/Arthur M. Sackler Museum
Tanya Tomoko Uyeda, assistant conservator for Japanese paintings,
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
This talk will focus on a 17th-century Japanese screen that was
recently remounted in the Asian conservation studio at the Museum of
Fine Arts, Boston. The speakers will explain the materials and
techniques used to produce the screen as well as the technical,
aesthetic, and ethical issues of remounting.
This popular series pairs presenters to consider objects from more
than one point of view. The informal talks, by Harvard Art Museum
curators, conservators, and educators, and Harvard University faculty
members, are designed to stimulate thinking about works of art and
encourage participants to explore their own ways of seeing.
Free with the price of admission.
Limited to 30 participants. Please arrive early.
Gallery talks are informal and include discussion.
