ICA staff share their recommendations for the best music, film, shopping, but mostly ART to check out this summer.
I can’t wait for this exhibition, chock full of fantastic female and gender-nonbinary artists from around town, many of whom have shown at the ICA, worked here, or otherwise crossed our path. It’s short—only 4 days—but looks mighty, taking on tough issues especially top-of-mind these days, such as class, race, identity, representation, power, and privilege.

City-Wide Friends Book Sale
Aug 5, 10 AM–4 PM
Boston Public Library
My pick is the City-Wide Friends book sale at the Central Library in Copley Square. You never know what gems you’ll find among all the donated and withdrawn books, CDs, and records! The books are super cheap (most are $1–$2), and the money goes to supporting the library. So you can find some awesome books or music and contribute to a great cause!
