Nichole’s Picks 6/27 + 6/28

So, this post seems a bit silly because, after all, it is St. Peter’s Fiesta all weekend long!

Pick #3 Red Sox “Out of the Park” Game Day

Head to Boston Commons to watch the Red Sox game on the big screen.

Read all about it HERE

Watching a Red Sox game at Fenway Park is a quintessential Boston experience, on par with swan-boat rides and checking to see if someone moved your space saver. But not everyone can make it to America’s oldest ballpark. To remedy this, the Highland Street Foundation—masterminds behindFree Fun Fridays—are bringing the Fenway Park experience to the Boston Common for all to enjoy, free of charge.

On June 28, “Out of the Park” will erect a giant television screen at the corner of Charles and Beacon Streets, just in time for the Boston’s 1:10 p.m. away game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Highland Street Foundation is partnering with the Red Sox to bring all the Fenway fixtures to the Common, including Wally the Green Monster, hot dog vendors, the Hot Tamales Brass Band, balloon artists, face-painters, and caricaturists.

“Manhattan Nocturne”, pastel, 20×24 – Frank Federico

North Shore Arts Association offers famed artist and teacher Frank Federico’s Pastel Workshop, June 26, 27 and 28.  The painterly pastel returns.  Capture the poetic beauty of nature through plein air, sketches and photos for studio work in this workshop which is designed to add new dimension to creative painting;  not in the sense of imitation, but as an essential path of expression of one’s thoughts and feelings when interpreting nature and subject matter in general.  Federico says, “We will push boundaries by looking for the essence, by personalizing color, and by enhancing composition elements.  The purpose is to convey a free, open and colorful mood in your work by examining content, execution and technique.”

Come join a veteran artist and teacher in an exploration of learning.  Sign up online at www.nsarts.org or call 978 283-1857.
