Dorchester Art Project and Open Streets
2023-09-17 10:00 - 15:30 | MA
Join us as we activate our beautiful Dorchester Avenue with love & creativity.
About the initiative:
Open Streets Boston events help people experience streets as public spaces where communities thrive. City streets transform into vibrant, pedestrian-friendly boulevards where people can dream, play, and explore.
During these free, family-friendly events, Open Streets Boston will temporarily close major thoroughfares to car traffic. This opens them to people biking, walking, rolling, and connecting with neighbors and local businesses.
This collaboration is made possible in partnership w/ @openstsboston

Meet the Artist: Robyn Thompson-Duong
2023-09-09 14:00 - 15:00 | Norwell Public Library, 64 South Street, Norwell, MA, 02061, United States
Robyn Thompson-Duong meet the Artist
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9th 2:00—3:00 PM
Meeting Room Norwell Public Library
64 South Street, Norwell, MA, 02061
Magical realism, beauty and love of color, Robyn Thompson Duong’s work evokes pride in black culture and the spirit of femininity. Drawing inspiration from art history, Robyn’s work deals with challenging the societal perceptions and stereotypes of Black femininity and beauty by depicting women of color as Mother Goddess, grand, graceful, and beautiful. Thompson Duong’s work seeks to reappropriate the Black female image and what it means to be a woman of color.
Primarily a figurative artist, Robyn Thompson Duong works in acrylics and graphite. As a black woman raised in the suburbs of Boston and often being the only person of color growing up, Thompson Duong knows the importance of representation and seeing one’s self in the images and people around you, hence her work depicting women of color as the main subjects of her paintings. Thompson Duong Studied visual art at Syracuse University earning a BFA in 2002. She later went on to earn an MEd from Lesley University. Combining her passion for art with her love of teaching, Thompson Duong has been an art teacher in both private and public institutions. Robyn Thompson Duong was named the Museum of Fine Arts Emerging Artist Fellow for 2020.
Robyn Thompson Duong sells original artworks, prints on paper and canvas, and takes commissions throughout the year. She also offers private and small group art lessons and experiences.
