Alpha
hits a sweet spot of showing powerhouse painters while supporting
emerging artists and giving viewers work that speaks to their
exhibiting artists' history. This is why Alpha has such a strong
program and why I personally love to return to this space whenever
I am in Boston.
In
this interview, Joanna and I talk about her background growing up
in an artist family, studying art, and the path that led her to
become Director of Alpha Gallery in Boston, MA. Art mingles with
family and audience as we discuss studio visits and exhibitions
Joanna has curated.
Alpha
Gallery was founded in 1967 with a mission to present
museum-quality contemporary art as well as modern master prints and
American masters of the 20th century and is a founding member of
the Boston Art Dealers Association.
