ArtBlock includes the construction of two new five-story buildings framing the historic Joshua Bates Art Center on a residential block in the South End neighborhood of Boston. There are 28 town homes and residential lofts within ArtBlock. Distinct in configuration and size, each home is consistent in offering thoroughly modern finishes and detail, in keeping with the resident community of contemporary artist. Indoor and outdoor exhibition spaces and galleries within the ArtBlock enclave enrich not only the local community, but the entire neighborhood.
