Winter

Our holiday event was a blast. Thanks to the Four Elements and friends for some great music, our wonderful chefs, our fabulous interns: Emily, Meghan, Heather, Kristen, our amazing crew, and all who came out to support and hang out. We shared a feast, made holiday ornaments, danced, and made sand animation. We saw a great number of family and friends including: Alice and her roommates, Marty, Thomas and family, Ethan and family, Nick and family and friends, Val and family, Kenny, JB and family, and the Albion guys.

Artwork from Local Day Programs for Adults with Disabilities
Featuring Gateway Arts, Outside the Lines, and Webster House

Mass College of Art and Design
Arnheim Gallery, South Hall 621 Huntington Ave. 
September 19-October 7, 2011


This show featured artwork by Michelle Gilbert, Kenny Dearborn, Ethan Cobb, Martin Jerauld, Marty Maher, Alex Wong, and Alice Mikaelian.


On October 5, Mike Piso, Diana Rice-Sheehan, and River Cortes talked to students from the  Art Education classes about our programs, teaching philosophy, and the process of the artists who were on view. Other Mass Art students were given assignments to create work in response to the show. This was the first time we have collaborated with Gateway and Mass Art and we are really excited about the exchange and the dialogue that happened. Thanks River and Scott, for putting this together!

Tour of WCVB Channel 5 News

On September 30, 2011, Outside the Lines visited WCVB Channel 5 News!!!! Alice, JB, Nick, George, Dennis, and Martin and interns Megan and Rachel attended. They saw tv cameras and someone doing the weather report.

Dennis reports, "It was good!"

George reports: We had a tour of the entire studio by Natalie Morales. I even got to see JC Monahan, and she only had a minute to say "Hi, How are you", but I had my picture taken with her too. Then we came to the room that Suzanne Wornick was in and she said "Hi Guys, How are you" and I told her I watch channel 5 every morning. Then she went back to work to report the news forecast. When a staff person were pushing me out to the van sitting down in my wheelchair I had just turned my head to the right side and then I had saw five big giant sattle light dishes pointing to the sky. Then when every body were all loaded in the van we all had rode back to out side the lines studio in Medford.
