When Deborah Simmerman is not keeping everything running smoothly in the Art Education office, she may be found sipping tea in her tranquil “urban cottage” in Jamaica Plain. Jane Dornbusch, from The Boston Globe, visited Deborah for formal tea recently and shared her experience in a wonderful article. In it, Deborah also shares her recipe for authentic scones.
Anyone whose had the pleasure of visiting Deborah at home, or even paused for a spot of tea with her in the Art Ed office, understands when she says “I’ve introduced all my friends to afternoon tea. I find that conversation never goes better than at tea; it provides a time and space to forget the passing of time.’’
During this snowy week, take a moment to read the article and be transported to a place where the pace moves a bit slower and it’s always time for tea. – Eleanor Ramsay

Museum of Fine Arts, Boston – Community Arts Initiative – The Artist Project
The Artist Project is a collaboration between the MFA, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (SMFA)and eight after-school community organizations in the Boston area. The selected artist will work with approximately 10-15 children, age seven to twelve, in each organization. No more than 125 children participate over the duration of the project. The artist will design the project and with the children will create a collaborative work of art inspired by the Museum’s encyclopedic collection. This collaborative art project will include the voices and ideas of the participating children by its completion. The role of the lead artist is to be the hand that steers the work into its final, exhibited shape. Strong consideration will be given to artists representing the partnering communities.
