HUDSON STREET GALLERY
A Chinatown Art Space
Hudson Street Gallery is an urban art space in Chinatown, devoted to historical and contemporary art about the past, present and future neighborhoods and peoples of Chinatown. Our mission is to honor the history and heritage of Chinatown and its immigrant communities while providing a home for contemporary artists to explore issues of geography, ethnicity and urbanism. We seek to bring new visitors to Chinatown from around Boston, and to bring more contemporary and historic art and artists to Chinatown.
As Hudson street forms one of the borders of Chinatown in a neighborhood sense, the gallery represents the newness of what lies beyond that boundary, both spatially and temporally. Hudson street itself used to be at least twice its current length until the Central Artery Project opened up the rest of Boston to Chinatown and vice-versa. Hudson Street Gallery will likewise change and evolve as we welcome artists and audiences from all parts of Boston and beyond, and from all ages and walks of life.
Artists who work in any media and address any of these themes should feel welcome to submit work for consideration. Cities, urban landscapes, neighborhoods, immigrant communities, Chinatown, Boston, urban decay, urban renewal, economic justice, zoning, mapping and boundaries, images of Chinese-Americans, ghettoization, assimilation, etc. We especially welcome work by citizens or expatriates of Chinatown.
