In the 1980s a group of artists came together in search of a stable and affordable working and living environment. After more than three years of planning, they purchased three semi-abandoned 1920s-era buildings in East Somerville, took up residence in 1988, and began to build the vibrant community you see today.
30 years later, many of the founding members still live and work at Brickbottom, thriving and strong, alongside newer artists and supportive lovers of art.
This exhibition includes painting, printmaking, photography, mixed media and sculpture by our FOUNDATION: more than 50 original ‘Bricks’ – artists who have moved on from these buildings as well as those who continue to call Brickbottom home:
