Art Shopping

Hi All,

When I travel, I like to buy pieces of art to remember my trips. Small sculptures, painting, glassworks, etc. preferably by locals, but that is not a must. Is there some area of town that has a collection of smaller galleries all bunched together? I dont need/want huge $5000 wall-sized paintings. I am thinking more the couple hundred dollar range. Looking for unique stuff. Higher-end gift shops (not tourist stuff) might work as well.

thanks in advance.

Depending on when you%26#39;ll be in town, check out one of the Open Studio events. The next one is December 3rd.

There are several very nice galleries on Newbury Street that would be easy for you to tour through.
