Take a virtual stroll with the Beacon Hill Art Walk - The Bay State Banner

For the past 30 years, the Beacon Hill Art Walk has been a much-anticipated, highly attended free event on the first Sunday in June throughout Beacon Hill’s North Slope. This year, due to the pandemic, the date was postponed to October in hopes that it would return as a live event, according to Jen Matson, the event organizer. When that wasn’t possible, the Beacon Hill Art Walk switched to an online art sale taking place this weekend, launching at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday.
