            (Boston Orange 周菊子波士頓報導) 大波士頓地區的書畫藝術團體，昨（九）日聯袂出席華埠中秋節聯歡會，在“漢字文化節“的主題下，即席揮毫，作畫，寫詩，還演奏，吸引路人駐足，求字，請畫，讚嘆這些藝術家們個個多才多藝。

            波士頓中華書法會，紐英崙藝術學會，北美藝術家協會和中華表演藝術基金會，紐英崙中華公所，以及僑教中心，昨日繼續合作“漢字文化節“活動，在紐英崙中華公所主辦的華埠中秋節聯歡會中，擺出不下四個攤位，由各個書法藝術家們輪流駐守，拿出紙硯筆墨的或應遊人要求題字，寫上詩詞還配畫，或看自己心情，即席構思創作。

        波士頓中華書法會會長池元山，陳綺怡，北美藝術家協會前會長周文熙，黃鏡明，程嶺，現任會長郭天涵，紐英崙藝術學會會長林浩宗，前會長林卓培等人，昨日都義不容辭的出席坐鎮。

            其中的林卓培非常有心，把他的工筆字畫，裝裱成一幅幅作品，整齊地展示出來，煞是好看。

郭天涵原來還會拉小提琴。（周菊子攝）

            其中的郭天涵，則在拿起隔壁亞美聯誼會攤位甄雲龍借給他的小提琴，有板有眼的拉起來。他的藝術家同好們這才知道，儘管他和林浩宗等人都是已有身價的書法家，卻原來是學小提琴出身，後來才走上書法，繪畫這條路的。

沒當會長，但都寫得一手好字，或者還擅繪畫的吳紹營，方厚正，莊學著，王均，龍熾強等人，昨日都歡喜出席，既為在美發揚中華文化出點力，更藉機享受和藝術同好交流的樂趣。

伍振中拿出一幅他寫的字展示。（周菊子攝）

其中退休前在航空工程界工作的伍振中透露，他每天做功課，不但寫書法，還畫油畫，粉彩，正在集結作品出書。他打算明年也來展示，不過要別出心裁的結合書法與功夫，以超大毛筆和他的華林派師叔功力來即席揮毫。

MAYOR WALSH ANNOUNCES ACOUSTIC ON MAIN

MAYOR WALSH ANNOUNCES ACOUSTIC ON MAIN Welcomes music and performers back to the Boston Main Street Districts for 10 days of music to support small businesses BOSTON - Friday, August 7, 2015 - Mayor Martin J. Walsh, in partnership with City Councilor Michelle Wu, today invited local musicians, businesses and the public to participate once again in Acoustic on Main, a 10-night event in Boston's Main Streets Districts. Starting on Friday, August 14, Main Streets businesses are encouraged to host local acoustic performances with up to five musicians or vocalists from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.  Participating businesses will not be required to apply for a live entertainment license or pay a fee to the City to hold these performances. "The City of Boston is once again offering Acoustic on Main to help support our Main Street Districts," said Mayor Walsh. "Now that summer is in full swing, we're inviting people to shop locally and take in a performance during Acoustic on Main. I want to thank the performing musicians for the creativity, drive and passion they bring to Boston's neighborhood businesses." "Acoustic on Main is back!" said Councilor Wu. "We're welcoming music and performers into our small businesses to celebrate what makes Boston vibrant and fun. Spend some time in our Main Streets districts and support your neighborhood businesses!" "I enjoyed participating in Acoustic on Main so much last time," said Brittany Butler, local musician and former contestant on NBC's The Voice. "I decided to sign up right away when I got a newsletter saying that it was happening again! I've found it's not only a great way to gig out as a musician and gain some local exposure, but it's another great way to give back to my community. Acoustic on Main is awesome because you get to work directly with the local businesses, so you really feel like you're doing something good!" "Having the opportunity for musicians to play while couples are strolling through the neighborhood was such a privilege," said Sofi Madison, owner of Olives + Grace in the South End. "Acoustic on Main brought so many people into the store and it was great to watch people sit on the stoop and enjoy the neighborhood. It was really positive and beautiful. We are excited to do it again in a few weeks. The Mayor had a really great idea to support the small business community and we are so happy this is happening again." Businesses and musicians who wish to participate can register at the Acoustic on Main website at www.cityofboston.gov/acousticonmain. As the schedule develops, members of the public will also be able to find events in their neighborhood by following and engaging with the event on social media using the #AcousticOnMain hashtag.   Businesses and musicians will make decisions regarding compensation for performers, however, just as the City of Boston encourage residents to support small businesses, we also encourage small businesses to support local musicians. Acoustic on Main is made by possible by a partnership between Mayor Walsh, City Councilor Wu, the City Council's Committee on Arts & Culture, the City Council's Committee on Small Business, Entrepreneurship & Innovation, the City of Boston's Office of Business Development, the Mayor's Office of Arts & Culture and the Mayor's Office of Consumer Affairs and Licensing.
