Safari #19: First Thursdays in The Hallway

The reasons to fall in love with Jamaica Plain (JP) keep growing.  A recent safari took me down Centre and South Streets for the monthly First Thursday event where local shops stay open past regular hours to welcome visitors with libations, hors d'oeuvres, and other goodies.

The Hallway Gallery (66a South Street) showcases the work of local fine artists offering a new rotation each month.  December features the works of Megan Hinton, Karen Kemp, Ben Silva, John Steck Jr, and Jonathan Stark.  The owner, Brent Refsland, an accomplished photographer, also includes his work as well.

If you have a chance, stop by to visit this month or wait until January for the next rotation of art.  While you're strolling, don't forget to stop in the other shops along the way.
