Wednesday, April 9, 2025
Hello everyone, the news is kind of like my homework, in the sense that there is always something. So take a look at what A&E has for you today.
In the spotlight is Sommer Wagen’s article on “see through love,” the MFA thesis exhibition. In other art news, Gabriel Brito wrote about the exhibit “SEEN” on show at Weisman, displaying the work of incarcerated artists. For the book lovers, Sophia Arndt covered the Spring Fling Romance Book Fair on Saturday, highlighting local booksellers across the state. Another event you may have missed is the MSPIFF filmmaker panels held this weekend, but don’t worry, Isabella Caswell wrote about it.
See you next week at The Scene.
