Our team is growing!

Meet Dylan Hurwitz, our new Administrative Assistant

Dylan is currently in his final semester in the BFA program at Tufts/Museum School, and is in the process of finishing his Senior Thesis project. He works primarily as a painter/musician, but also produces animation and video work. At Tufts, he is studying and receiving a minor in Entrepreneurial Leadership Studies.

Before joining the FPAC team, he worked at various local arts organizations, including Vose Galleries, the Anchor House of Artists, the Cambridge Arts Council, and Friends of Fenway Studios, in addition to working multiple artist assistantships. He is excited to bring his experience and enthusiasm for the arts in Boston to FPAC!

I <3 FORT POINT 

2.7.13 

Terrific turnout for our first annual I HEART FORT POINT event last month! 

Thanks to FPAC member Elisa Hamilton for bringing her energy and creativity to create the event--and to the generous area businesses who served up tastes of their products: Barlows, Bee's Knees, Luckys, Sagarino's, Trillium Brewing, and Tavern Road.

The fill-in-the-blank labels still make us smile.

FP3 Gallery presents Jerry Lainoff: Geometric Abstraction  In this exhibit, Jerry maximizes three-dimensional illusion in the context of a painterly background. We see through the object floating in space juxtaposing foreground and background. Polymer Resin is the vehicle driving the construction and the illusion of deep space allowing images to be impregnated, floating between layers of resin and acrylic painterly ground. 346 Congress Street.
