		<title>Do you remember us?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While Before &#38; After has always reflected the intriguing, unique and general awesome happenings at After Hours, we admit that we don&#8217;t always update it. Our bad,  BUT we&#8217;ve gone back to the drawing board and we&#8217;re coming at you with new-found commitment and resolve, devoted to making this blog a one-stop shop for all [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gardnerafterhours.wordpress.com&blog=1614196&post=128&subd=gardnerafterhours&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The circus comes to the Gardner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Venice is our inspiration for Gardner After Hours this month and it’s time to celebrate Carnevale di Venezia! In that spirit, we’re bringing you a performance by CIRKESTRA, an ensemble made up of the best circus musicians in America that plays an eclectic mix of gypsy, jazz, tango, klezmer, and the ultimately creepy circus waltz.

		<title>Some Kind of Blue &#8212; from the museum archives</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By 1900, as Fenway Court slowly emerged along the Emerald Necklace, Isabella Gardner obtained a charter to form a museum corporation “for the purpose of art education, especially by the public exhibition of works of art.” She thought carefully about the placement of her collection from the very beginning of the construction process, marking the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gardnerafterhours.wordpress.com&blog=1614196&post=115&subd=gardnerafterhours&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A Solstice Soiree December 18th</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
   
Ok, so paganism may not be at the forefront of your mind during this time of year, but fear not, this is not cloaked figures at Stonehenge paganism we’re talking about…we are talking winter solstice which, since ancient times has been a night for revelry: singing, dancing, feasting, and bonfires. Sadly we [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gardnerafterhours.wordpress.com&blog=1614196&post=93&subd=gardnerafterhours&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Groove out to your own Wanderlust on September 18!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Sigh, wanderlust, it&#8217;s the best word isn&#8217;t it? It conjures up a longing for travel a la On the Road or The Sun Also Rises (hmm&#8230;I think my own summer reading is influencing this post!). But seriously, what better way to kick off a new year of After Hours than exploring the idea of travel [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gardnerafterhours.wordpress.com&blog=1614196&post=77&subd=gardnerafterhours&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>After Hours is back!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We can hardly believe we&#8217;re entering into Year 2 of After Hours and we&#8217;re psyched you guys are along for the ride!
We made a few tweaks and adjustments to this year&#8217;s program &#8211; most notably another fabulous artist commission by Danijel Zezelj (see below)! We just loved Zezelj&#8217;s work &#8211; so strong and bold. He [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gardnerafterhours.wordpress.com&blog=1614196&post=71&subd=gardnerafterhours&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Garden of Earthly Delights</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Isabella Stewart Gardner was an avid and skilled gardener and landscape designer. It may be possible that her initial interest in horticulture came through her grandmother Isabella Tod Stewart, who received awards for agriculture from the state of New   York (which Isabella put on display in the Short Gallery of the museum). Her [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gardnerafterhours.wordpress.com&blog=1614196&post=63&subd=gardnerafterhours&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>More on Mahanthappa</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so we&#8217;re a little late. At this point, if you don&#8217;t already have tickets, you&#8217;re not going to be able to see the Rudresh Mahanthappa Quartet&#8217;s concert in the Tapestry Room tonight, because we&#8217;re completely, utterly beyond sold out.  But, if you&#8217;re the plan-ahead type and you do have those tickets already in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gardnerafterhours.wordpress.com&blog=1614196&post=48&subd=gardnerafterhours&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Mrs. Gardner Abroad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mrs. Gardner compiled 27 scrapbooks during her extensive world travels which included, in part, journeys to Europe, Turkey, Japan and Cuba and each experience was carefully recorded. In some scrapbooks, her observations are made in the style of an anthropologist taking field notes, as she sketched and defined hieroglyphics and illustrated monuments or jotted down [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gardnerafterhours.wordpress.com&blog=1614196&post=46&subd=gardnerafterhours&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Considering coming to our &#8220;Composer Portraits&#8221; concert Thursday night?  Find out more about Magnus Lindberg, the composer we&#8217;ll be profiling, in this article in Sunday&#8217;s Boston Globe.

This 49-year-old Finnish composer is a major voice in European music, but one that is heard all too rarely in this country&#8230;He wields a technical arsenal of enormous [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gardnerafterhours.wordpress.com&blog=1614196&post=45&subd=gardnerafterhours&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
