Jamaica Plain Open Studios Outing

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

The 15th Annual Jamaica Plain Open Studios will take place next weekend, and Panopticon will be there! We will meet at 1pm on Saturday, September 27th in the GSLIS Lounge before heading over together. If you’d like to meet up with us in JP, please send us an email so we can figure out a place to meet.

So take a look at the map on the official JP Open Studios website and get excited! There are tons of great artists who will be exhibiting next week, and it should be a good time for all. Maybe we can top the afternoon off with some ice cream or some drinks?

Upcoming Open Studios

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

The Jamaica Plain Open Studios and Fenway Open Studios are both on the near horizon. These are great opportunities to get behind the scenes a bit, see art, meet artists, etc.

JP is September 27 & 28, 2008.
Fenway is October 25 & 26, 2008.

Panopticon will probably organize a trip to one or both. Mark your calendars.

Two Internships at Visual Resources Library, School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

The Museum of Fine Arts Libraries and Archives have become members of ARTstor. The School of the Museum of Fine Arts’ Visual Resources Library’s Digital Image Collection will be hosted by ARTstor in January.

The Visual Resources Library is looking for two Simmons students with a strong knowledge of Art History to work as interns 10 hours a week. The interns will be responsible for Excel data entry; the data will accompany images submitted to ARTstor. ARTstor’s Institutional Hosting Program will use these Excel sheets to create their ARTstor Core Database for the Digital Image Collection of the Visual Resources Library.

Unfortunately, the internships are not paid positions. However, they will provide the interns with work experience in a visual resources library, within an art library, the W. Van Alan Clark, Jr. Library at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts.

Those interested should contact:
Nancy Palmer
Visual Resources Library Coordinator
School of the Museum of Fine Arts
230 The Fenway
Boston, MA 02115
ph: 617.369.3615
email: npalmer@mfa.org
