Letters to the Editor Dear artscope magazine, I received your magazine and was delighted to find that you had written a capsule preview of my show in Brookline. It was a wonderful article and it worked well with the ad and image that accompanied it. Hope you can make it to the show; the opening was a huge success. I will certainly keep artscope in mind for future advertising of my exhibits. Gillian Frazier Lowell, MA Dear artscope magazine Thanks to Sarah E. Fagan for including my “Kindred” exhibition at the Boston Arts Academy in the Jan. 16 artscope e-mail Blast! I really loved the tone of the writing. I hope that one day your magazine will review me. You all do a wonderful job of covering this region and presenting art in a way that makes it accessible to all. Ekua Holmes Dear artscope magazine artscope is a fabulous magazine. I am completely impressed with the quality of images presented and the fine New England art world coverage! It was very rewarding to see the article about the Attleboro Arts Museum Members’ Show. Richard Kattman Hollisten, MA Dear artscope magazine We received our January/February 2009 artscope today and we thank James Foritano for his wonderful and lively review of our Annual Members’ Juried Exhibition. We’re so pleased to be in such fine company, and feel a special connection to Jim’s screaming clipboard. How and where can we purchase additional copies? We received a box today - and many artist members have already looted our inventory (this is a good problem).
