The BFAC is going back to Tuscany! 🇮🇹 🥂 In this week-long art retreat to the gorgeous Podere Capitignano Estate in the Italian countryside, artists will get the chance to unwind, escape the chaos of the modern world, and fully focus on their art. Whether you're just starting out or you've been drawing/painting for years, this retreat offers everything you'll need to cultivate your inner artist.

In between guided painting sessions and workshops, you're free to enjoy the estate to the fullest extent: swimming in the pool, playing on the tennis courts, reconnecting with nature on the surrounding trails, basking in the mountain views with a good glass of wine, exploring local towns, digging into the lovingly prepared breakfasts and dinners provided by the property manager, Elizabetta (her tiramisu is to die for!), and so much more.

Check out our website at https://lnkd.in/ema6idCK, for more info on how you can be part of our next trip!

What a great weekend for Boston Figure!

Friday night, we welcomed our Members for a special Member Dinner, featuring a home cooked meal by our team, candlelight, and riveting conversation.

On Saturday, we popped up at TEDx Harvard with our ‘Draw A Stranger’ experience. With a speaker panel focused on creativity, connection, and community, we found it to be a perfect fit.

The Boston Figure is a community and art hub that we’ve cultivated through tremendous risk, ambition, and hope on our part in an attempt to try to give the world something we think it needs and something we hope you enjoy.

But we are an experiment, and can only survive if enough people want us here. Your donation will help enable us to sign a lease extension this summer and remain in Somerville!
