lhunt Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Can't go, sorry! But you might be interested in this: http://artery.wbur.org/2015/07/09/isles-arts-initiativeHere's another site.Schedule is here. I couldn't tell if that means the art is only displayed on those days - I got the impression that many of them will be there throughout, not sure. Anyway, have fun!Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcoons Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 Hi Lisa, Thanks Lisa. Actually, that was going to be my surprise for the trip, but the paddle is canceled due to lack of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
