Atlantic Works
Gallery anniversary celebration
Atlantic Works Gallery presents ‘15 Years on the Edge: Atlantic Works Gallery’s anniversary celebration’ featuring members of the gallery.
Receptions 6-9 p.m.
Now through August 16.
The Atlantic Works Building at 80 Border Street in East Boston is visible on maps as early as 1892, as part of a large parcel owned by the Atlantic Works Company. By 2001, the building consisted primarily of artists’ studios.
When a large room on the top floor became available in late 2002, a number of artists decided to pool their resources and rent it as a group, using the space both for exhibits and whatever creative endeavors seemed appropriate. This was the birth of Atlantic Works – A Collaborative Space for Art and Ideas. The inaugural exhibit was held in February of 2003.
Several of the original 22 people who were in the inaugural show are still active members today. Our newest members joined as recently as this year.
Join us for a show celebrating our 15 years as co-op gallery and space for nurturing and encouraging artists.
Gallery hours are Fridays and Saturdays 2-6pm and by appointment.
