Sunday, September 30th, Panopticon will be meeting at 1pm at the JP Licks on Centre Street. From there, we’ll be touring this year’s JP Open Studios (more information here).
If you’ve never been to an open studios event, they’re a ton of fun– basically, artists open their studios (and sometimes homes) to any visitors who want to drop by and see what they’ve been up to. Lots of awesome art is up for sale (much of it affordable!), and many artists offer snacks as an enticement. This will be a great opportunity to both check out a part of the local art scene and hang out with your fellow art library/visual resource enthusiasts. Even if you can’t meet up with us, the studios will be open all day both Saturday and Sunday, and we encourage anyone who is able to check it out.
For those unfamiliar with the JP area, here’s a map of the area around JP Licks:

Generally, the easiest way to get there is via the 39 bus (it runs from Back Bay station, along Huntington and South Huntington and down Centre St.) There’s a stop practically at JP Licks’ doorstep. It’s also a short walk from the Green Street stop on the orange line– walk up (surprise!) Green St. for a few blocks, and turn left once you hit Centre. The stop is also handily marked on the map.
