Bo's Arts: Visual Interpretations of a Soft Dog

Curated by graduate student Jamie Berger

Opening Reception: Oct. 10, 5-7pm

Refreshments, PowerPoint presentation, and Book signing.

In Spring of 2004, an odd and wondrous art show took place at San Francisco's Backroom Gallery. Over fifty artists, from an eleven-year-old boy to several internationally renowned grown-ups, made work of, about, or inspired by a soft dog named Bo. �Bo's owner, writer Jamie Berger, investigates the life and times of both dog and art in a new book, Bo's Arts.

The Student Union Gallery will present work from the original San Francisco show, along with some new work from UMass and other east coast artists, and will celebrate the publication of the book Bo's Arts, which chronicles both the dog and the art she has inspired.
