Boston has always pledged a passion- ate commitment to the arts, from the Impressionists at the MFA to cutting-edge work at the ICA. And at Boston Common, art is proudly front and center with this issue's collectible cover, created just for us by revered pop artist Peter Max. His sunny rendition of Boston reminds us how vibrant our city truly is. And while it can be difficult to slow down and enjoy our surroundings, this issue is dedicated to doing just that—taking in New England, one glorious sunset at a time. It has been a season for celebrating, and we've been joined by friends at events all over town. We launched into spring fashion with a men's designer clothing and sneaker runway show at Saks Fifth Avenue, where I picked up a few fashion tips for warmer weather (like denim on denim, believe it or not). In May, I helped judge Clarke Distribution's Sub-Zero Pitch Off competition for the best sales presentation. With so many great candidates, it was hard to choose a winner. Boston Common kicked off summer in style as the media partner for the Nantucket Wine Festival, where many of the magazine's friends came together for a weekend of wine tastings and dinners. I was excited to see Bon Jovi play an intimate acoustic concert at the Hot Pink Party to benefit The Breast Cancer Research Foundation at the InterContinental Boston. And it meant a lot to me for Boston Common to once again support the Best Buddies Challenge: Hyannis Port and the meaningful work the organiza- tion does. In June, I attempted to display my inner Jack Nicklaus at the National Kidney Foundation Golf Classic tournament at the Boston Golf Club. Needless to say, I will continue practicing my swing. We hope that you enjoy reading this issue as much as we enjoyed putting it together, and that you'll continue to follow us throughout the summer at bostoncommon-magazine.com, on Twitter, and on Instagram.
