10 Boston artists making original work you can afford.
because money doesnt grow on trees.
that should stimulate your economy.
MASS.production and The Fort Point Arts Community (FPAC) present a show of 10
young, local artists at FPACs recently opened Gallery @ 12 Farnsworth, an alternative art space in Fort Point. The show opens April 8th with an opening reception Thursday, April 16th featuring live music and an opportunity to meet the artists and hang out in Bostons industrial underbelly.
MASS.production (with headquarters in Fort Point) is an indie collective of self-representing artists who sell work at art markets like the Design Hive and SoWa Open Market and team up to put on shows and events. For Locally Grown, co-founder Justin Viglianti curates both large and small pieces from each member of the collective and guest artists who share the philosophy that art should be affordable and accessible and generally more awesome.
The pieces chosen for the show reflect the current DIY ethic and trends in parodied social commentary and imagined realities rendered with bold graphics and specific attention to craft. The work ranges in medium from silk-screened prints and marker illustrations to large format analog photos and multi-media collage. All artists involved are offering smaller work for the show, many at prices under $100.
The show is hosted by FPACs Gallery @ 12 Farnsworth, which is an artist occupied
commercial space run for artists, by artists. The Gallery shares space with Made in Fort Point, The FPAC Store which sells the art, design and craft of over 50 Fort Point artists, open Monday-Saturday. The gallery, store and openings are free and open to the public.
