What to do with an empty gallery? 

The ingenious folk at New England Regional Museum have come up with an answer.  FREE SPACE is a series of live performances featuring local musicians using the unique physical qualities of the gallery’s spaces to explore sonic possibilities. The raw talent of these musicians combines with the aestheticism of this wonderful space, producing truly showstopping performances.
