The arts are so important because they help people look at life experiences through different mediums and put people in touch with their emotions. We believe that everyone should experience as many forms of art as possible. That’s why we’ll be posting about all the different arts events going on around Boston every month! Without further ado, here’s the first installment of our “Spotlight on the Arts” series… Enjoy!
