  Our Saturday morning long-pose sessions are perfect for someone who enjoys a mellow start to the weekend. The atmosphere is laid back, yet focused. Most regulars come to paint, but some also come to draw. We welcome all mediums, oil, acrylic, pastel, pen and ink, pencils, iPad and even silverpoint should you choose. Hope to see you there.

  BFAC is unique in Boston for offering three month-long sessions per week, each lasting a full month (i.e., each session meets 4 or 5 times–depending on the number of times the day occurs in the month–on the same day for an entire month). This is your opportunity to develop your skills, explore in depth your intention as a representational artist. If you've studied in college or in an atelier setting, this is the place to practice, practice, practice. Although all levels of experience are welcome, you'll find that the company in these sessions is collegial, a little more serious than Monday nights, and you'll be deeply rewarded.

  Maria and Jonathon are your hosts for Thursday evening long-pose sessions, where you'll work beside a small group of long-time regulars and a few newbies most weeks. We welcome all mediums, oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel, pen and ink, pencils, iPad and even silverpoint should you choose. This session being on a work night, there are often easel spaces available, so you don't have to decide long in advance, but be sure to register just to be sure there's space, and so that we'll be expecting you.

  In May 2016, after multiple rejections and false starts in both the worlds of academic art history and audio, Tamar Avishai launched The Lonely Palette - a podcast that aims to take the boring snootiness out of art history, one artwork at a time.  Since its launch, it's been downloaded nearly half a million times, and has been featured on NPR, the CBC, the BBC, and was named 2018 Boston's Best Podcast by The Improper Bostonian.  Join Tamar as she tells her show's origin story and talks about how scared people are to talk about art, the daily hustle of the creative small business owner, the empowered loneliness of going it alone, and finding (and redefining) success in unexpected places.
