Atlantic Works Gallery will host a free, fun Community Day for the whole family in conjunction with its summer exhibition, Roots of Passage: Artists Examine Immigration, on Saturday, August 3 at the gallery at 80 Border Street from 2:00 – 6:00 p.m.
Atlantic Works Gallery is inviting the entire East Boston community to the gallery to celebrate and honor the many cultures of East Boston. Everyone is invited to view the exhibition where the artists will be available to discuss their art with the use translators, if necessary. Many favorite and popular local restaurants are generously donating food for the event.
Throughout the day, an interactive community art installation, Immigrant Respect, will be happening, where residents can inscribe ribbons with messages that will be attached to and left on the surrounding fencing of the gallery.
Closing the day’s events, at 6:00 there will be a screening of the Hoopla Production’s film, Open Your Heart: Immigrant Stories From Boston And Beyond with a discussion with the producer and actors on what it means to be an immigrant living in your community.
