by

Arthur Dion and Meg White, Directors of Gallery NAGA invite Garden Club of the Back Bay members to an opening reception with photographer Mary Kocol this Friday, September 10, from 6 – 8 at the Gallery, 67 Newbury Street, Boston.  They were struck by the similarity of the titles to our annual fund raising party in June and the September exhibition by the artist, and feel the affinities run even deeper.  The show will be on view through October 2, so all are invited to stop by during the run of the show and see these beautiful photographs.  Complete images can be seen on their website, www.gallerynaga.com.  Below is Conifers, October, Arnold Arboretum, Boston, 2009 archival inkjet photograph (1/10) 23×23″  We thank Arthur and Meg for their hospitality.

Come to the Boston Children’s Museum, Congress Street, on Saturday, October 2, from 9 am – 6 pm, for the first annual Boston Local Food Festival, put on by the Sustainable Business Network, with support from the USDA in combination with the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources. This festival will be an outdoor autumn celebration of the many virtues of locally grown and produced food. Held in Boston overlooking the historic Boston Harbor, it will showcase and support a cornucopia of food grown and produced in and around greater Boston and stretching across Massachusetts into other New England states. The festival will also provide opportunities for local food- related businesses, initiatives and nonprofits to share their products, services and programs.  Festival attendees will be able to eat great-tasting local food, learn the benefits of fresh, sustainably grown/produced food, take home food from farmers and vendors, and on top of all this, have a lot of fun.
