Outside the Frame

Let the crowds flock to Salem and ignore the touristy Halloween pub crawls. The spookiest weekend of the year is a chance to rub elbows with hip Bostonians at these events. Whether you want to party, carve pumpkins, have Halloween treats or see live art in action, there’s something for everyone. 

Our lineup of Boston-based artists continues to unfold. If you haven’t joined us yet, now is the time. If you have, welcome back! September’s show featured the talented Stephanie Saunders. October and November will showcase the works of three equally gifted artists with a strong voice and unique creative vision. 

At Studio Allston, we’re always going on about visual arts, but what about the art of the written word? Beantown has been the birthplace of writers and the inspiration for countless books. If you’re planning to visit us, take a look at these classic and contemporary novels set in Boston. 

Allston Village Street Fair is the annual event that best underlines what distinguishes our neighborhood: its rich, multicultural heritage, youthful vibe and contemporary art scene. It’s even dubbed as Boston’s Hippest Multicultural Festival! Read all about it here.
