ARTSY?
THE S.P.A.C.E. GALLERY
Mingle with the Burlington arts crowd at the S.P.A.C.E. Gallery, an eclectic, anything-goes gallery and studio space in the heart of the South End Arts Disctrict. Located at the rear of the Soda Plant on Pine Street, S.P.A.C.E. — that stands for Supportive Places for Artists and the Creative Economy, BTW — showcases both established and upand-coming artists in monthly shows, with opening receptions and other arty bashes that often coincide with the First Friday Art Walk. If you’re an artist yourself, submit a piece to the Creative Competition exhibit in the S.P.A.C.E.’s Backspace Gallery for a chance to win cash prizes and a featured spot in the gallery (see page 84).
