AFH partnered with Boston Community Pediatrics (BCP) to exhibit teen created artwork for the community they serve. The exhibit features a 17-piece collection of mixed media and paintings for their reception room and a series 10 large-scaled painted murals for their façade. In response to the pandemic, the teen artists at AFH created a series of portraits titled “Facing the Future” to raise awareness on staying safe and strong together. The masks are a symbol of unity for a greater cause. AFH is happy to support BCP through this collaborative exhibition and grateful to the residents of 1850 Condominiums for their support.
