InsideOut


        InsideOut is the School of the Museum of Fine Arts' annual sale. It is the largest fundraising event for the school (at least 50% of all sales go to the student scholarship fund) and with thousands of works, it is possibly the largest art sale in New England. The artwork comes from students, faculty, alumni and associated artists; ranging from smfa freshman to contemporary greats such as alumni Nan Goldin and the Starn twins and associated artists Chuck Close and Kiki Smith. There are paintings, drawings, photographs, video installations, jewelry, sculpture, ceramics... the list goes on. Work is reasonably priced, and is a great opportunity to add to or even start your art collection. People have come back and stated that they purchased student work at a low price, and the student has now become well known and pricey.
        Not only is it a great opportunity to buy art, but as I mentioned it does help out the school, which is especially important right now. It is also a fun and casual atmosphere, and you may even get a chance to speak to many of the artists. Tonight is the opening, so if you can make it you ought to! It is also open through Sunday the 22nd, I have posted the hours below. (The two show pictures I've posted are from the set-up week! It looks much nicer now!)
