Vanderwarker's Pantheon

[JohnAKeith]

Through decades of photographing Boston and writing about the metamorphosis of its urban landscape, Peter Vanderwarker has developed a distinctive vision of the city?s civic architecture and cultural aspirations. For Vanderwarker, Boston is a city where concepts are reinterpreted and reframed by individuals who are willing to take a stand and work toward implementing change. ?Vanderwarker?s Pantheon? presents some current heroes of this Boston intellectual tradition in a setting of the buildings and spaces that shape our everyday experience.

Sweet! See you there.

I assume the opening reception is an Athen?um members only event?

[JohnAKeith]

I believe so, based on the invite I received.

[tobyjug]

That is correct.

[Ron Newman]

Oops, thanks for the warning. Can Atheneum members invite guests? I'd still like to go...

[tobyjug]

Yes. I can't make it, but if I can get you on the guest list without having to attend I will. Also, apart from the reception, members of the public are usually welcome to the gallery during the span of an exhibition. The gallery (at least the old one) is the birthplace of the MFA! .

Hi Ron, how are you? I'd be happy to have you come as my guest to the opening reception on 2/10 (note: party is on 2/10 not on 2/11). And I invite you and others interested to join the Athenaeum! I know you'd enjoy it.

The exhibition is free and open to the public Feb 11 - May 2, 2009. Hours are Monday 9-8, Tuesday-Friday 9-5:30, and Saturday 9-4.

Thanks! Since the original post here appears to be incorrect, what time is the opening reception on 2/10?

[JohnAKeith]

w/e, blame the Athenaeum, not me.

Changed.
