Boston Art Scene

I believe that the change in the Boston Art Scene is completely derived from the media as well as the change in economic status. Art galleries are considered a luxury rather than a necessity which is why many people are unable to purchase pieces because no one has extra money to spend. This is very unfortunate because it is forcing a lot of galleries and other art stores to close down because they don’t have enough customers.
I have been to many art galleris and I am lucky enough to have travled all over Europe exploring the different types of art and styles of the artists. I loved the galleries in Prague, most definitely my favorite. Not only is the art impeccable there, but the architecture was so incredible. I felt like I was living a fairytale with all the stone streets and buildings that are thousands of years old.
I much prefer galleries over museums. I feel that the art that is exhibited in museums are the more common ways of making art. I would much rather see more abstract and surreal types of pieces.
