Evening with the Artist at the Leventhal Map & Education Center on March 7th

I'm currently developing ideas for using historical maps from the collections from the Leventhal Map & Education Center for my workshop that's scheduled for March 7th. Using copies of historical maps of Back Bay, we'll explore Back Bay before 1857 and 1882. What happened to these years? Did you know that Back Bay was literally a bay before 1857? Massive landfill project began that year, and the present day Back Bay was filled by 1882. I'm looking through their online collection and finding many great maps for this workshop!

The workshop is free but registration is required. Participation is limited to 20 people. If you're interested, please register for the workshop.

"Our Evening with the Artist events invite you to look, listen and create. Look closely at art and map pairings in the Crossing Boundaries: Art // Maps exhibition at the Leventhal Map & Education Center. Listen to an artist talk. Create something inspired by the artist's work and process."
