#FirstFriday: 1 November 2013

This #FirstFriday the ICA Boston hosts a masquerade-themed event, performances by the Adele Myers and Dancers company, and music by DJ Knife. While there, be sure to check out their new exhibition Amy Sillman: one lump or two. The event goes from 5-10pm. The Museum of Fine Arts Boston also hosts its MFA First Friday event tonight from 6:00-9:30pm, featuring DJ Rich DiMare. Tickets available online through their website or in person at the museum. Both events are 21+.

Or you could head to the South End and over to the Boston Center for the Arts' Mills Gallery for About, With & For—a group exhibition curated by Juliana Driever—open until 9pm. The SOWA District art galleries (450 Harrison Street in the South End) will be open from 5-8pm. SOWA galleries and artists’ studios are FREE and open to the public of all ages.
