As part of its participation in Boston Design Week, running from April 23 – May 5, East Boston Artists Group (EBAG) comprised of artists who live, work, and/or create art in East Boston, have organized the weekend of Saturday, April 27, and Sunday, April 28, from noon to 6 p.m. for the East Boston community to experience the breadth of the vibrant art and culture that is unique to East Boston.
“This is the first time EBAG has participated in Design Week, now in its 11th year, so we started small,” said June Krinsky-Rudder, one of the co-founders of EBAG, who coordinated the weekend. “What people will be able to experience over the weekend is just the tip of the iceberg of the incredible vibrancy that’s happening in the arts in East Boston.”
Slated for the weekend are two gallery exhibits, a self-guided tour of 21 murals and pieces of public art, and the El Dia del Niño event (with a mural painting activity):
