I first saw “From Paper to Pixels” at Jamaica Plain Open Studios back in September, but busy September got away from me before I could do a proper write up, so I was thrilled to hear that the show was having a reprise at the Suffolk University Gallery. “From Paper to Pixels” is an exhibition of collaborations between pairs of traditional and new media artists. The work of the traditional artist served as the starting point for the collaborative creation of a new, interactive work of art. The results are as engaging, unexpected, and just plain fun. Here are a few highlights:
“We Become Gruesome” Traditional Artist: Ace Norton, New Media Artist: Any Shaules

“yBos 2” stands for Young Boston Artists 2 and is the UMass Boston Harbor Gallery’s second annual exhibition of art by artists in or recently graduated from undergraduate programs. yBos, organized by Kevin Benisvy, recognizes a lack of venues that show the work of emerging artists in Boston and a lack of exposure even at the venues that do show emerging artists. As my readers know, this is an issue near and dear to my heart and the reason for this blog’s creation, so I was thrilled to be included in the yBos show for a second time.
