In response to what you've read describe the shift that has been occurring over the past year in the Boston gallery world. How do you think these changes might affect the Boston art world, in general (artists, collectors, museums, schools, etc.) for better or worse?
Over the past year, the significant change in our economy has been responsible for the closings of many art galleries in Boston. I think, because art is not a necessity, people would rather spend their money on basic items needed to survive, and live a healthy life. The luxury of an art gallery cannot provide food for a family, or put a roof over ones head. However; I also think the change in the economy can be a positive thing for artists as stated in the reading. This can be a new opportunity for extreme creativity. Now, artists are forced to think in new ways in terms of process, exhibition, and especially materials.
Have you ever been to an art gallery (not a museum)? Describe your experience there.
I don't think I've ever been to an art gallery, besides the ones at Beaver.

it's so hard to decide where the money should go, isn't it? of course things like food, housing, and school come first, but how do we make sure we have some beauty, like art?
