'I'm really excited to bring the community together,' says Chelsea Revelle, Director of Arts & Culture at USES. 'This is such a great opportunity for participants of all ages in our programs to display work alongside USES' colleagues and established local artists.' Revelle has worked with the USES' Children's Art Centre for the past 2.5 years before taking on additional adult and senior art programming and coordinating cultural events. The Children's Art Centre is a historical building just off of Rutland Street in the South End, where many of the artists in the surrounding community first discovered and developed their life-long appreciation for the arts. The late Allan Crite, whose prints and paintings of the South End neighborhood remain on display at the Museum of Fine Arts, began his career as a student at the Children's Art Centre.
Revolving works have been on display in the past at the Harriet Tubman Gallery including political posters from the Red Sun Press, collages by Ekua Holmes and the Streets exhibit honoring Mel King. The Harriet Tubman Gallery showcases a range of diverse, cultural and community driven works that foster a strong sense of neighborhood appreciation where all individuals are welcome. Located at 566 Columbus Avenue in Boston's South End, the Harriet Tubman House is open to the community and hosts a range of programming for adults and seniors. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 8 am - 8 pm. The Gallery is wheelchair accessible and limited meter parking is available in the area. Only a 5 minute walk from the Massachusetts Avenue Orange Line stop or the #1 and #43 buses.
