It comes as no surprise that the winner of the night was MassCreative, a non-partisan, non-profit organization that “empowers creative organizations and the public with a powerful voice that…
An enclave is the term for an isolated land or group which is wholly surrounded by another and thus inaccessible without passing through foreign territory. I’ve come to Venice Biennale to see the best of what the international art scene has to offer, and I’m not disappointed.

Previous contributing artists have included Charles Sandison, Susan Philipsz, and Nick Cave.

What were you doing last September 4th? We BR&S editors were rolling out our relaunched blog and journal after a two year hiatus. 365 days later, it’s clear that you did miss us while we were gone.

Our Daily Red is pleased to continue our artist-in-residence series titled Inside Out. Every month, a new guest artist will have access to the platform to publish images and jot down thoughts about inspiration, obsession, creative failures and insights.

It is not expected…
