John Carroll was less than impressed by Tina Brown's talk last night at the MFA:

Well the Missus and I trundled down to the Museum of Fine Arts Wednesday evening to catch its Ruth and Carl J. Shapiro Celebrity Lecture featuring Daily Beast diva Tina Brown.

Of course it should've been called the Ruth and Carl J. Shapiro Celebrity Commercial because Brown was there mostly to deliver a pitch for her new website, which she subsequently did in a straightforward and shameless fashion. ...

This morning, apparently. Anybody know more?

Joel Brown previews the upcoming new sections of MFA, which open April 23.

... They have a great series of programs for kids, but where is the programming that engages young professionals or adults of color? Where's their support for any of the Boston Open Studios? If they want to engage people of color who are interested in the arts, why not support or have some connection to Roxbury, Dorchester, or JP Open Studios at least? Additionally, they missed a golden opportunity during Roxbury Film Festival. Hundreds of people of color, including myself, came to the museum to view some of the films being screened there.
