On exhibit from May 1^st through May 31^st:
Paintings by Charlene Liska and Photographs by Jesse M. Kahn

Charlene Liska’s paintings dwell on the unreliability of perception, the occasional error message that catches us off guard. The canvases are spectacularly smooth surfaces overprinted with silk-screened images. Jesse M. Kahn’s digital photo-montages explore both the beauty and the tragedy of human and mythological experiences. Both artists offer the viewer many openings into the reading of their pieces, allowing individual experiences free reign across these sublime surfaces.

Atlantic Works Gallery is a new exhibition space in East Boston with spectacular views of Boston Harbor. Along with monthly art exhibitions, the gallery hosts an informal get together every third Thursday of the month from 6-8pm. Open to EBAG members and the public this monthly event is a time for artists and friends to come together to share ideas, look at art and plan future arts events for the East Boston community.

With a growing number of artists settling in the neighborhood, East Boston is beginning to foster a thriving artist community, not unlike Fort Point. Growing out of the East Boston Artists Group (EBAG), Atlantic Works Gallery is the newest manifestation of this trend.

EBAG was formed in 1999 by a group of neighborhood artists, and has grown to nearly 70 artist members. EBAG sponsors the annual East Boston Open Studios in October, which showcases the member’s studios and artwork.
