Antiques Roadshow in Boston on May 25
In search of America’s hidden treasures for the series’ 25th season, ANTIQUES ROADSHOW visits Boston, Massachusetts on Monday, May 25, as part of its 2020 Production Tour! PBS’s most-watched ongoing series celebrates this milestone with stops exclusively at distinctive, historic locations across the country.
“Holding events at these locations allows our cameras to film appraisals in and around places that are treasures in their own right, adding an exciting depth to our show,” said ROADSHOW executive producer Marsha Bemko. “I can’t wait to see what treasures we uncover in Boston. And stay tuned, we’ll be revealing the historic location we’ve selected very soon!”

GALA’s Opening Reception
GALA’s (Galleries at LynnArts) will be having an opening reception for its members’ show on Friday, Nov. 15. from 5:30 – 8:00 p.m. at 25 Exchange St, Lynn, MA 01901.
Since its formation at the beginning of the year, GALA has continued to expand at a staggering pace. From a small group of people who met at the end of 2018 to discuss forming an arts collective, to a growing membership of almost 100 people as of the end of October. Half of the artist members will be represented in this show and, true to the GALA philosophy, there are a range of ages, backgrounds, and a diversity of artwork showing those who are professional artists, those who are hobbyists, and those who are just starting their arts journey.
The show is presented as a retrospective of the year. The viewer will get a taste of all the previous shows exhibited at the gallery. There is even a section which previews the first show of 2020, a collaboration with Rubbish to Runway and fiber arts/reused materials show.
GALA has provided a home for over 150 North Shore artists to display and sell their work in 2019. “We are immensely proud to have shown this many artists’ work in our first year. This Member Show is a testament to a lot of people’s hard work, dedication, and love of Lynn and the North Shore, the arts, and our mission” says gallery Directory and GALA President Annette Sykes.
