NATURE-INSPIRED ARTISTS
ATHY BUIST AND RICHARD ERDMAN
TAKE OVER GALERIE D’ORSAY.
The natural world is a unifying theme for abstract landscape
painter Kathy Buist and sculptor Richard Erdman, whose
work is being shown together for the first time at Galerie
d’Orsay. Buist’s captivating scenes, imbued with sunlight in
all its many forms, ref lect her nontraditional approach to
painting: She lays her canvases on the floor of her seaside
studio so the drying paint can be manipulated by the ocean
breeze. Buist also mixes bits of crushed shell and sand into
her paints to give her works—such as Solitude (ABOVE)—an
unusual texture. Erdman, meanwhile, draws inspiration
from the woods and mountains near his childhood home in
Vermont. He also takes cues from the marble of Carrera, Italy,
where he maintains a studio in addition to one in Williston,
Vermont, and his stone, bronze, and steel sculptures can be
found in private and public collections in more than 40 countries. The artists’ stunning pieces are on view at Galerie
d’Orsay through July 31. 33 Newbury St., 617-266-8001;

Every year, the Nantucket
Comedy Festival,
created by Kevin Flynn,
does the impossible,
luring some of the
country’s funniest, most
famous comics to the
island for four days.
Eight years after its
inception, the festival,
which runs July 15–18, is
still going strong, with a
roster of top comedians—like Caroline Rhea
(ABOVE)—and a crowd
that regularly includes
the corporate, political,
and comedy elite. Don’t
be surprised to run into
Chris Matthews, Joe
Scarborough, or Jack
Welch while taking in
Women’s Night, the
always entertaining
Boston vs. New York
Smackdown, or the
annual “Man From
Nantucket” Award,
which brings out stars
like last year’s recipient,
Dick Cavett. 508-9019281; nantucketcomedy

ALL THAT JAZZ
LET THE SWEET AND SULTRY SOUNDS of horns and strings carry you away this summer at the annual Cape
Cod Jazz Festival at Wequassett Resort and Golf Club. The newly renovated venue will present music by the
likes of Dr. Michael White and the Juilliard Jazz Ensemble every Tuesday and Wednesday evening throughout
July and August. Start with dinner at the resort’s AAA Four Diamond restaurant, Twenty-Eight Atlantic, before
falling into a Jazz Age reverie. 2173 MA-28, Harwich; wequassett.com

Ever stop to look at a piece of street art
and wonder who created it? DTR Modern
Galleries will remove some of the mystery
shrouding these mavericks by exhibiting
works by Mr. Brainwash, Desire Obtain
Cherish, Shepard Fairey, and other top street
artists through July 24. Featuring paintings,
prints, and sculptures, the gallery’s first
exhibition devoted to street art is designed
to show how these former outsiders have
been integrated into the mainstream art
world, finding places in collections alongside
renowned fine artists. 167 Newbury St., 617424-9700; dtrmodern.com

BUILDING BLOCKS
BOSTON’S ECO-DESIGN ELITE were out in full force at the Boston
Architectural College’s first Spring into Design Gala, benefiting the
institution and focusing on urban sustainability, design’s impact on
the community, and the future of design practices. Cochairs David
and Felice Silverman and guests enjoyed breathtaking views of the
Boston skyline at sunset while listening to the music of UnderGround
Mantra. Samples of specialty foods and drinks from more than 25
local producers committed to sustainable practices were served.
Guests showed their support for the college by donating more than
$200,000 for its mission: to offer an accessible design education.
