"Over the last five years, Praise Shadows Art Gallery has become Boston's most respected contemporary art gallery-all while technically being just over the border in Brookline. Now, with a little help from Mayor Michelle Wu, the gallery is moving to the city proper, to a central downtown storefront."
""It looks like a Tribeca space, or an old-school SoHo gallery," gallery founder Yng-Ru Chen said. She's opening with a group show, "Summoning," on March 13, featuring paintings by Oliver Jeffers, ceramics by , photographs by Billie Mandle, and sculptures by Jean Shin, among other works."
""We're kind of running a tailored, bespoke partnership brokerage program, which is a mixture of talking to lawyers, talking to landlords, talking to arts organizations," Joseph Zeal-Henry, Boston's director of cultural planning, said, noting that more participating art businesses will be announced in the coming months."
Praise Shadows Art Gallery, established five years ago, is relocating from Brookline to a central downtown Boston storefront. Mayor Michelle Wu helped secure a 10-year lease for dealer Yng-Ru Chen. The new location is a former architecture office on the Greenway in the Leather District, offering a 2,000-square-foot exhibition area and an equally large second-floor office, viewing room, and storage. Opening exhibition "Summoning" on March 13 will include works by Oliver Jeffers, Billie Mandle, Jean Shin, and others. The city and the Downtown Boston Alliance are using the Space for Creative Enterprise Downtown program to place creative businesses in vacant downtown spaces and are awarding the gallery a grant for an emerging writers program.
