About the East Boston Artists Group
We are a community of artists located in historic East Boston, a growing and vibrant arts destination.
Founded in 2000, the East Boston Artists Group (EBAG) supports and connects local artists and showcases their work in such events as Open Studios, Holiday Open Houses, and other exhibits within and outside of the neighborhood.
As a pioneering neighborhood arts organization, EBAG is proud to support local artists and to be part of East Boston’s burgeoning arts scene. Our members represent a diverse array of backgrounds and artistic disciplines.
Upcoming event:
The East Boston Artists Group, in celebration of Boston Design Week, will host a number of events and activities in various locations in the neighborhood. We’ll be partnering with other cultural institutions (Atlantic Works Gallery, Boston East Gallery, HarborArts, and Veronica Robles Cultural Center) to showcase Art & Culture in East Boston.

A collaborative space for art and ideas.With a growing number of artists displaced by Boston’s soaring rents, East Boston is a richly diverse community which is quickly becoming a vibrant artist enclave. The Atlantic Works Gallery, composed of 29 members of the thriving East Boston Artist Group (EBAG), is a manifestation of this trend.
