Boston Comminity Highlight -

“Boston has quickly become one of my favorite cities to take photos in. Having been born and raised here, carrying my camera with me has given me a fresh and exciting perspective of our well-known historic sites, wonderfully vibrant and energetic neighborhoods and the hard-working and beautiful communities that inhabit them. This photo [image 1] was taken in Jamaica Plain near one of my favorite local used film-camera shops and film developers, CatLABS.” -

Violet as Ophelia, Sean Black

Opening May 19th, selections from Sean Black’s “Secretly Pretty” will be on view throughout Pride Month.

“When I was young and innocent, I dreamt of being a girl. I played with dolls and danced in my mother’s dresses. The body I was born with wasn’t mine; it belied my very being. I realized early on that in order to survive I had to orchestrate my own charade” -Sean Black

Visit us May 19th for the opening reception, and May 20th for an artist talk with Sean! Links in bio 💌

Coming 🔜 “The Duality of Distance” by Stephen Vanasco

Open April 1 - May 15
Reception April 27th

“Your visual fingerprint is embedded into everything you photograph. While some subjects may be different, they still share a similar point of origin with how they were made. ‘Duality of Distance’ demonstrates this concept by taking two different bodies of work I have made at various times and being able to recognize duality within the work” -Stephen Vanasco
