A pulsating scene for arts
Number of galleries multiplies

New England Gallery of Latin American Arts grand opening:
Unbearably handsome waiters glide silently through the sophisticated, black-clad crowd distributing canapes from neatly arranged trays amid high ceilings, exposed brick, and minimalist leather banquettes. Vast white expanses of wall are punctuated by bright watercolors and muted oils, while stark waist-high pedestals balance postmodern bronzes. Conversation subtly amps up as the wine flows and a duet plays flamenco music in the corner.
Seems like a pretty typical gallery opening. Except you're not in New York or LA, or even the South End. You're in East Boston.
