Dot Art — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 15:17:06 -0600

Description:

In January 2008, The Dorchester Community Center for the Visual Arts (Dot Art) is opening a new studio space on Dorchester Avenue. The Clay Station will be a ceramics studio providing classes for people of all ages, as well as space for aspiring and professional artists to work. The Clay Station is the only studio of its kind in Dorchester, housing pottery wheels, classroom space, a glazing station, as well as exhibition space for original work made in the studio.

Dot Art plans to make The Clay Station, named for its location mid-way between Shawmut and Ashmont Stations on the MBTA Red Line, an easily recognizable fixture on the Avenue, and a welcoming home to artists of all ages and skill levels.

Get ready for great coffee and healthy light meals at the Dot-2-Dot Cafe, which is scheduled to open this fall at 1739 Dorchester Ave., across the street from St. Mark's Road.

She has already shown a commitment to our neighborhood, visiting the civic associations and investigating several local properties with SMAMS before settling on this one. A coffee shop has been one of SMAMS' top priorities for years, and now we're getting the coffee and much more!
