ART BLOOMS IN MAY.
There is only one 450 Harrison Ave.


First Friday is May 1st from 5pm-9pm, and it kicks off annual SoWa Art Walk, which will continue Saturday and Sunday, May 2nd
and 3rd, 11am-5pm. It’s bigger and better than ever this year, and food trucks will tempt you both weekend days!

Plan to visit us all other May Sundays, too, starting at 11am, including Mother’s Day and the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. Every Sunday is a SoWa Sunday! 

Our many talented artists are ready to experience the beauty of May with you. You’ll love everything about this art shopping adventure, along with the outdoor markets just steps from our building.

Spring is coming—and with it, a brand-new celebration from the Mass Brewers Guild. Inspired by Germany’s beloved Frühlingsfest—Oktoberfest’s lively, easygoing “little sister”—we’re bringing the spirit of Munich and Stuttgart to Boston for a one-day festival bursting with energy, flavor, and community.
Under the soaring dome skylight of the BCA Cyclorama, you’ll step into a vibrant spring festival filled with fresh, seasonal craft beer, German-inspired offerings, live music, and the joyful, relaxed atmosphere that defines Frühlingsfest abroad.
This spring tradition in Germany celebrates renewal, community, and local pride—and that’s exactly what we’re channeling in Boston: a welcoming festival where creativity, craft, and good cheer come together in one unforgettable experience.
Join 40+ strong Massachusetts craft brewers and beer lovers from across the state for a day of discovery, flavor, and fun.
Every sip supports the Mass Brewers Guild, the nonprofit working to protect and promote our craft breweries. Frühlingsfest isn’t just a party—it’s an opportunity to uplift the community that keeps Massachusetts beer innovative, independent, and world-class.

Kerry Spindler Bespoke Aesthetics Spa is a private, results-driven skincare studio serving Winthrop and the Greater Boston area. Founded by nationally recognized beauty expert Kerry Spindler, the practice blends advanced clinical knowledge with a holistic, whole-person approach to skin health. Every treatment is fully customized. No cookie-cutter facials. No trend chasing. Just intelligent, personalized care based on what your skin actually needs. Kerry is an oncology-trained paramedical esthetician and melanoma survivor whose background in advanced skin science allows her to work confidently with all skin types, tones, and concerns — from acne, breakouts, and congestion to pigmentation, aging, texture changes, and overall skin resilience. Services include advanced corrective facials, microneedling with RF, nano needling, chemical peels, microcurrent lifting, LED light therapy, acne-focused treatments, pigmentation correction, and barrier-repair support. The spa also offers brow and lash services, facial waxing for delicate areas, and holistic support services such as Reiki and traditional herbal yoni steaming. Clients travel from Boston, Cambridge, the North Shore, and surrounding neighborhoods for Kerry’s education-first approach, precision treatments, and long-term skin strategy. This is a quiet, boutique setting designed for people who want real expertise and thoughtful care — not rushed appointments or one-size-fits-all spa menus. Appointments are by reservation only.
