Opening show to feature works highlighting East Boston

Trinity Financial today is celebrating the opening of the art gallery at Boston East, its new luxury apartment community on the East Boston waterfront. The Boston East Gallery, run in collaboration with the neighboring Atlantic Works Gallery (AWG), will be open to the public seven days a week and will also be available for events, art exhibits and community meetings.

The first exhibition at the Boston East Gallery, “East Boston – Past and Present” features 31 pieces of artwork by 21 artists that either capture East Boston or were created by artists living in East Boston. The event will include the awarding of prizes for the opening show and will be catered by local favorite, KO Pies. The Boston East Gallery joins the burgeoning East Boston waterfront arts scene in East Boston including the Atlantic Works Gallery, the Institute of Contemporary Art’s Watershed and the Harbor Arts outdoor sculptures at the East Boston Shipyard, the award winning Zumix music program for youth, and the Veronica Robles Cultural Center.

“East Boston has a strong history of supporting artists, and we are proud to continue that tradition at the Boston East Gallery,” said Abby Goldenfarb, Vice President of Development at Trinity Financial. “Boston East is in the heart of this dynamic and diverse neighborhood, and we are pleased to work with the AWG to showcase a range of artists and art forms that truly represent the community.”

"Trinity Financial reached out to members of the AWG to collaborate on this exciting new gallery with its stunning view of the waterfront. The art submitted showcases East Boston and recognizes the talent, beauty and vitality of our neighborhood. We are excited to work with Boston East and welcome them to the growing arts scene in our neighborhood” stated Atlantic Works Gallery member, Diane Modica.

"When Trinity Financial reached out to members of AWG to collaborate on organizing an inaugural art exhibit for their Boston East gallery space, it was thrilling,” said Anna Salmeron, AWG member. “They went out of their way to recognize artists' long history in, knowledge of, and dedication to East Boston. They even came to several of AWG ‘s reception to get to know us! They were wonderful to work with from start to finish as we together curated a rich exhibit showcasing art about the area by local artists. The whole process was a great experience, and we look forward to working with them again in the future."

The 2,340 square foot waterfront art gallery will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Guests can enjoy the views of the harbor and the Boston East outdoor courtyard while visiting. The Gallery has comfortable social spaces selected by the Cortney and Bob Novogratz, whose unique style has been showcased on HGTV’s Home by Novogratz and Bravo’s 9 By Design, and in collaboration with companies such as CB2 and Momeni.

Boston East is the first new development on the Boston waterfront to incorporate these unique live/work/sell spaces into its ground floor programming.

“Incorporating original art into our gallery and building really adds to the experience of living a boutique apartment building,” said Goldenfarb. “The gallery allows us to make connections and relationships with our neighbors, and it is a place that people really want to relax in at the end of a long day.
