SoWa Centre in Boston brings together a large number of art galleries within a well-designed complex, making it easy to explore a wide range of art in a single visit. However, when I visited on a Saturday afternoon, it was surprisingly quiet, many galleries were closed, and there were only a few visitors around. Even so, it remains a beautiful concept and worth checking out. Recommended !!!
SOWA Galleries are so much fun. Highly individual artwork. High quality. Artists are quite normal people, especially important if you don't think they are. Great fun on a "slow" day so there's time to chat up the artists
This is an excellent spot to shop local art and meet the artists. We visited on a Sunday when many of the studios were open because of the SoWa open market outside, so we got to see a wide variety of art. There’s a mix of painting, sculpture, jewelry, textile arts, and more at a range of different price points, so we enjoyed looking through all three floors of galleries.
We visited here after most shops had closed (5pm), and luckily some were still open! They have many small businesses which custom make their products which is fantastic, but they were not within my budget. And they have countless art studios where artists display their works and you can view them through the window. The downstairs displays were all open, and we could view the contemporary pieces from up close. The ladies were very nice and the pieces were interesting to view.
A must visit. The people, food, atmosphere, art galleries and so much more... all great. Recommend you visit Debby Krim whose work spans photography, jewelry, and also painting. Cedric Harper from Haiti (suite 213) is also worth a visit. His contemporary view of technology is quite eye opening and do ask him about where he gets his inspiration. His journey is inspiring. Parking is tough but it’s worth it! Don’t forget he food trucks that are nearby which is a nice edition.
