Formerly Homeless Artist’s Work on Exhibit at Boston City Hall
Time:
9:00am EST
Location:
Boston City Hall, Piemonte Room
BOSTON — Less than two years ago, Peter Phelps, 80, did not have walls of his own on which to hang his artwork. Now, thanks to Hearth, a non-profit organization dedicated to the elimination of homelessness among the elderly, Phelps has his own apartment in which to create his masterpieces and his art will be on exhibit at Boston’s City Hall in a one-man show.
Phelps’ framed works of abstract watercolors and inks will be on display from Thursday, Aug. 14 through Friday, Sept. 5 in City Hall’s Piemonte Room. Exhibit areas are open to the public Monday through Friday, except Labor Day, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
For additional information about the art exhibit contact Jenny Hibbard, at (617) 369-1565 or email jhibbard@hearth-home.org. To learn more about Hearth, visit www.hearth-home.org, or call 617-369-1550.

The Machinery of Heaven: glass sculpture by Steven Easton
Location:
Fuller Craft Museum 455 Oak Street
Glass artist Steven Easton will use Fuller Craft's Merton Tarlow gallery as an environment to explore his ideas about portraits, classical antiquity, religion, science and the natural world. This exhibition has challenged Easton to take his ideas–which up to this point have been manifested in individual objects—to a larger, more inclusive, and ultimately more compelling scope and scale. As Easton explains, “Nature and its beauty is the foundation of my work – energy and matter, in myriad forms, whirl in a complicated dance that is a celebration of life. Celestial bodies, moving inexorably through the heavens, hum in rhythm with the beating of our own hearts. Everything is connected and has meaning. This belief is infinitely reassuring as we humans move through time.”
