  • Curated and installed a 1-year art exhibit for the building lobby of 100 A Street. The exhibit is part of the 100 A Street Condo Association's partnership between neighboring buildings, enhancing community relationships while providing AFH teens—and in this case an AFH mentor and an alumna too—the opportunity of exposure to wider viewership.

  • Commissioned by the law firm Foley Hoag, AFH created the exhibition The Art of Change—a series of five 4'x5' paintings, created in dialogue with Foley Hoag's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee. Works depict seminal social and literary activists whose commitments mirrored the clients' legal efforts on behalf of those striving for a more equitable society. Accompanied by a graphic installation, the commissioned paintings are exhibited along a prominent hallway at the entrance to the law firm. The inclusion of a video of the exhibition's making created by our Video Production Studio extends both the reach and the story of the partnership.
