Leased Exhibitions

  • Boston Walden Trust entered into a one-year fine art lease, with purchased photographs, to enhance 11 of their office walls at their Boston location. The inspiration behind the art selection was representative of their ESG investing firm that directs money towards environmental, social, and governance issues. The series of photographs in the conference rooms reflect Boston's neighborhoods (Beacon Hill, Dorchester, Fenway, etc) while the leased paintings reflect BTW's brand colors and values.

  • 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.
