About this Organization:
The gallery's mission is simple and comes from a desire to create a community of artists in Cambridge, MA. Established in the fall of 2008 by local artists Annie Newbold and David Craft, Gallery 263 is a place for celebrating the arts that brings all cultures and people together. It is recognized as a vital and energetic cultural gathering place and as an educational resource for the community. Many artists living in the area represent its constituency. Gallery 263 provides a vibrant atmosphere for artists of all mediums to show and sell their works and to interact with the community during openings, talks and workshops. In addition to the fixed gallery viewing hours, Gallery 263 achieves the larger goals of facilitating community interaction and education by offering film screenings and music events, artist workshops, youth programs, lectures and panel discussions as well as a creative space for area businesses and schools to rent for off-site functions. Through its outstanding programs and collaborations the gallery hopes to attract a broad and growing audience from the Boston area.
