Freedom is a universal value, a human aspiration and an achievement to be treasured.  Personal freedoms include speech and the ability to choose many different actions, including movement, without the interference or hindrance of others.  These freedoms can be seemingly very small but bring about much joy and happiness. On a grander scale, freedoms become treasured and protected when people band together to achieve a common goal of expression. People and groups take many risks and suffer many consequences to achieve and retain their freedoms for themselves or others.  This can occur in a neighborhood, a village, a metropolis or a country.

The displayed artworks, in all various media and sizes, are available for purchase.

Both the exhibition and the reception are free and open to the public. Free auto and bike parking in the rear.  The gallery is also accessible by MBTA bus 64. It is a 10 minute walk from the 70, 70A, 86 buses.  The gallery is handicapped accessible and there is free wi-fi and is openMonday & Wednesday: Noon - 8 pm, Tuesday & Thursday: 10:00 am - 6:00 pm,  and Friday  & Saturday: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm.
