Articles about the "Boston Art Scene"

This week you're reading several articles (this one, this one, this one, and this one) in preparation for next week's field trip to the South End galleries. In response to what you've read describe the shift that has been occurring over the past year in the Boston gallery world. How do you think these changes might affect the Boston art world, in general (artists, collectors, museums, schools, etc.) for better or worse?

Have you ever been to an art gallery (not a museum)? Describe your experience there.
