Mission

The mission of City Heart is to empower homeless and low-income artists through the celebration and sale of their work.

​

​

History

City Heart is an annual art show and sale in Boston, MA featuring ​local homeless and low-income artists. City Heart began in the spring of 2011 and is now in its third year. The show was founded because there was a wealth of wonderful art created by local homeless and low-income individuals but a lack of opportunity to share it with the community.

In 2011 and 2012, City Heart exhibited over 200 pieces of work from 40 artists. City Heart continues to grow. In 2013 the show will have 70 artists with over 1,000 pieces of beautiful artwork.

​

We collaborate with artists from Cambridge Women's Center, Common Art, New England Center for Homeless Veterans, Pine Street Inn, St. Francis House, and Women's Lunch Place.

​

The third-annual City Heart will take place on Saturday, May 4th, 11:00 AM-4:00 PM in the Prudential Center, 800 Boylston Street, Boston.  Admission is free.
