Switch up your Wednesday night routine and join us for some line dancing, outside at The Grove with our friends from 617 Country 🤠🪩

@617country is a queer, multicultural, and multigenerational country-western dance community that knows how to get a crowd moving. They’ll break down the steps, teach you the dances, and get everyone moving together.

Never line danced before? Perfect. Come solo, grab a friend, meet some new people, and jump in. No experience (or cowboy boots) required.

Back in 2018, we had a fun idea: make limited-edition posters, repurpose old newspaper bins to hold them, and make collecting local art as easy (and affordable) as grabbing a newspaper.

25 volumes and more than 280 local artists later, Volume 25 of Art in Print is officially out in the world! 🗞️✨

Bring a few quarters and start collecting all nine prints across Allston and Cambridge. Each one is just 25¢ and available while supplies last.

🗞️ One last spotlight for Volume 24! 🐸 Meet Lionel J. Frogby (the “J” stands for “just a little guy”), the lovable adventurer created by artist Alexandra Gallant-Lee. In this playful mixed-media piece, Frogby journeys through a winding forest creek, meeting a few fellow creatures along the way.

@gallantdesigner is an award-winning cartoonist, illustrator, sculptor, and science communicator whose colorful work is fueled by science, nature, technology, and curiosity.

Please note: All of our Volume 24 prints are out in the world, and once they’re gone, they’re gone. Grab your quarters and collect your favorites while you still can. 👀 If you missed your opportunity we’ll be back with Volume 25 this fall.

🎣🪁 Have you found the eel yet? Sadie Saunders’s print began with a simple idea: draw something delightful. Inspired by a love of eels and dramatic lighting, the result is a playful scene that’s hard not to smile at.

Headed to the @ratcityartsfestival this weekend at the @charlesriverspeedway? Don’t forget to bring a few quarters. 🪙🐀 Just next door at @pavementcoffee, you can pick up Cat and Mouse by @ffool.ish.

With playful shapes and plenty of personality, this whimsical composition is strange, charming, and a reminder that art can simply be fun.

Beautiful summer weekends are made for exploring. ☀️ Pick up a limited edition poster for 25 cents, discover a new spot in the neighborhood, and support local artists along the way.

Meet Volume 24 artist Isabelle Higgins. 🍜🌊 A Feast began as one of Isabelle’s first experiments with gouache and painting water. Created during a period of uncertainty, the self-portrait became a playful and hopeful way back into making art.

@isamariehiggins is a Boston-based painter whose work explores atmosphere, color, and imagination.
