When: Friday, December 12, 5 - 11 PM The annual Design Nearby show at pinkcomma gallery kickstarts the holiday shopping season with “Cloth, Paper, Scissors." This one-night exhibition and sale (on Friday, December 12) builds on 2007’s successful print-themed show (deemed "contempo" and featured in DailyCandy's weekend edition). This year’s show focuses on printed, sliced and stitched works by Boston-area artists and designers. Whether on paper, canvas, t-shirts, or textiles, the sixteen featured artists display a variety and breadth of design sensibilities. Each designer will present two to six pieces, with editions available for sale. Any questions? Write us a note at designnearby at gmail.com |

Founded in 2007, the pinkcomma gallery aims to foster and recognize a more creative, youthful, and experimental scene in Boston's design culture. It showcases Boston’s new design underground—in a space that is literally and windowlessly subterranean—while encouraging broader popular support for this underground sensibility. At the same time, pinkcomma is a place for the exchange and expansion of ideas within Boston’s larger design community in the disciplines of architecture, landscape, graphics, urbanism, interiors, and industrial design, among many other fields. pinkcomma exists outside Boston’s power circles, yet strives to make design more pivotal in the city’s political and popular discourses. The gallery’s role is activist in nature, promoting works that are often unpopular or unacknowledged, but always inventive or provocative. More information is available at
