• Vesper George School & Guild of Boston Artists: Howard Lindergreen, managing director at Vesper George School, is noted for showing floral and decorative panels with an oriental feeling.
• Charles E. Smith Gallery: Features paintings by Kahlil Gibran, described as having a "mystic aloofness" and using tones of black and white. Albert Gold of Providence is mentioned as the exhibitor at the Smith Gallery from February 16th to March 12th.
• Institute of Modern Art (Boston): Ben Shahn is highlighted for having the "most completely documented show ever seen in Boston" through February 21st. A quote attributed to Shahn recounts his realization that "Here I am living through another crucifixion. Here is something to paint."
