BOSTON – With cold weather finally blowing in to the city, Fenway Park is undergoing a make-over that will transform the summer ballpark into its first winter games big air spectacular.
On Feb. 11 and 12, Fenway Park will be host to "Polartec Big Air," a freeskiing and snowboarding competition with famous athletes from around the world. Big air competitions are an extreme version of slopestyle, where competitors either ski or snowboard down a large hill that features a variety of obstacles such as rails or jumps. At the Fenway event, participants will perform tricks after launching off the very high jump.
BOSTON – The cement block exterior of City Hall doesn't normally attract admirers, but inside the gray façade, the work of Boston artists in City Hall Galleries is bringing life to the otherwise gloomy space.
Three shows are on display in City Hall Galleries through the end of February in honor of Black History month. An opening reception will take place on Feb. 4 from 4 – 5 p.m. in the main lobby. The galleries are located in the main mezzanine on the third floor and down the two escalators past the ticket clerks on the second floor.
