The old adage is as follows: "Those who can't do, teach." One might also assume that "Those who can't teach, do." Those who can teach and do are essentially the Jedi masters of their profession—the flyest of the fly. They're like the somersaulting Yoda. Given that we do not live in the imaginary land of George Lucas (though I am sure a small, unbalanced minority might disagree), the opportunities to view such masters in the throes of their talents are rare to say the least. But rare does not mean nonexistent: Look no further than the School of the Museum of Fine Arts' Staff Arts Exhibition. In its 27th year, the annual show honors SMFA employees who live and breathe their passion for art. The 10-day show will consist of work in a variety of mediums and concepts, all sharing the common theme of being made by some pretty badass staffartists. And this event is 100 percent free. Now that's masterful.
