Functionality wise, the site works impeccably, never flailing as I browsed by venue name and by art category. The folks at ArtAppBoston+ are definitely on to something with the added customizable feature of the website and app. Now you don’t have browse through a bunch of events that are happening at venues you don’t want to go to because you can narrow searches down specific to your favorite venues, or be notified when a particular artist that you have favorited is showing locally.
