visit the painted temple this weekend

[cos]

Last year on the Sunday afternoon of Open Studios weekend, dreams_of_wings and I wandered into the former Masonic temple at 115 College Ave, and were blown away. A Russian couple named Ekaterina Sorokina and Nicholas Shaplynko, both artists, had bought the place a few years earlier, and proceeded to paint the entire surface of the walls and ceilings with epic myths. I wanted to recommend it so much that, with only a few hours left before closing, I posted about it from my Treo (cell phone) with its little tiny keyboard.

It's on the map again this year, #21, on College Ave near Powder House Circle. Ekaterian and Nicholas live there full time, so open studios weekend is the only time of year they open their home to the public. Even if you're not doing open studios all day, take a half hour to see this one!

I walk past that every day and always wonder about what's inside. I'll make a point of visiting.
