Here’s our list of the movers and shakers, culture-makers that are documenting their artistic ploys and political rants on your fav social media platform. Take a look at New England through Instagram because on insta everyone’s a photographer.
@hotelonnorth
We are teaming up with Sonsini Animal Shelter for Kittens & Cocktails on North starting this Monday. Socialization is an important step in the adoption process. Purchase a beverage from the bar, join us in the Lounge, and pet a kitten from 5:30-6:30pm. #intheberkshires #pittsfield #kittens #cocktails #animalshelter #yournewbestfriend
A photo posted by Hotel On North (@hotelonnorth) on
Hotel on North is arguably the most photogenic place to stay in the region. Made from two 19th century buildings in downtown Pittsfield this place is anything but the pits. Between the claw foot tubs and the keep-sake quality local trimmings and trappings in each unique room, this place is most definitely instagram-worthy.
@snowsculpt
Dave Rothstein is a snow sculptor and famed donut photographer. He’s a renaissance man of the 21st century and his Instagram account—which includes vegetables dressed with googly eyes, Spock holding a donut hole, and close ups of nature that’ll make you take a closer look at the beauty in your own surroundings—stands testament to that.
@thewadsworth
The Wadsworth Atheneum is the oldest public museum of its kind in the country, founded in 1842, but it’s aging quite well.
@breakfastxlunchxdinner
The tastemakers of Hartford, CT are on Instagram and it looks good. Follow this crew for event updates, artist profiles and all things contemporary and cool in Connecticut.
@sad13
Sad13 is the fierce, feminist solo-project by “frontdemon” of Speedy Ortiz. She just released a new album “Slugger” and did a reddit AMA in a Sailor Moon wig (okay, YAS). Sad13 aka Sadie is the ultimate celeb crush and my forever #wcw. Visit her account for all things pro-love!
@loopvintageupcycle
This Insta takes the retro cake in satisfying all your delightfully kitschy mid-century needs. We had a feeling you would ask, and the answer is yes, they have an Etsy shop: LINKY. The best part? You can invite your friends for a dinner party and brag that your 60-year-old Alvin and the Chipmunks themed glassware set is probably one of a kind.
@wildfolkstudio
Somerville florist, Caroline O’Donnell Instagram will make you want to die and be reincarnated as a flower in one of her arrangements. There is literally nothing more perfect than her subdued purples and pinks and muted earth tones, and the filters don’t hurt either.
@mollyhatch
Molly Hatch is a designer, illustrator, drawer, author, creator-I could go on. Her Instagram is painfully cute and framed in pastels that upon scrolling through will make your stress melt away. Beware, her flawless composition and frequent enviable tea parties will probably make you resent your own Instagram.
@matthealeyphoto
As his handle suggests, Matt is a badass photog with a knack for portraits. His feed is littered with humans-in-action AKA ~athletes~ and as you can see, pretty priceless game faces.
@Narrangansett
It’s beer season! Well, it’s always beer season. ‘gansett’s vintage-inspired cans will take you back to the days of pick-up ice hockey on the local frozen pond. Plus, the outdoors-y Rhode Island imagery will give you the feels for Fall.
@bostonhassle
Boston Hassle is your volunteer-run DIY info flow on everything underground and ~kewl~.
@shady.pines.sleddogs
Post-election stress got you feeling some type of way? Look no further. These dogs aren’t just cute, they’re also smarter than your honor student. These puppers are Sally Manikan’s small to mid-distance racing team residing in the White Mountains of NH and they want to be your BFFs.
@laughingloone
Laughing Loone is the pseudonym of Noel’le Longhaul’s online tattoo persona. Her Instagram is home to dark, ethereal masterpieces on fleshy canvas. She’s also in three bands. In short, there is no one cooler than Noel’le.
@pizzablonde
This is proof—blondes do in fact have more fun. Pizzablonde is essentially living out everyone’s dreams- ya’ll dream about cheese too, right? Right?! By acquainting her tastebuds—and in turn, our insta feeds—with every form pizza can morph into, (i.e. sandwich, spaghetti, and smore) the world can finally see all that pizza can truly be.
@shanelavalette
Shane, hailing from Burlington, VT is #instaporn for black and white photography enthusiasts. The way he plays with the duality of shadows in his pictures will give you a chill and leave you feeling confused in a good way.
