Boston to be bulging with arts activities the week of the workshop
.
Dan Zedek of The Boston Globe — our host for the Society for News Design’s Boston Workshop next month — writes with news of extracurriculars available the week of the workshop:
The brand new Institute of Contemporary Art is hosting the National Design Triennial which includes work by Workshop keynote speaker Chip Kidd.

Speaking of Kidd, he sounds like a really interesting character. He collects Batman stuff, so he has to be pretty cool. Here’s a 2003 USA Today profile of him.
And here is a 2004 Q&A with him.
Here’s his personal web site.
Dan continues:
Also, MassArt, the oldest and largest state-run art school in the country is sponsoring a show of Mexican street art.
Of course, Boston is a great museum town in general and there are also great shows at the Museum of Fine Arts, The Gardner Museum, and Harvard’s Fogg Collection.

Thanks, Dan. We’re looking forward to it!
