Paul Pracilio’s first Boston Show will be opening this Thursday, January 6, 2011 at the FP3 Gallery located at 346 Congress Street, Boston.

The FP3 Gallery is located within the FP3 loft-style residential building and serves as a vital part of the award-winning collaboration between developer Young Park of Berkeley Investments, Boston architect David Hacin, and famed restaurateur Barbara Lynch. It was extremely important to Berkeley Investments to maintain the rich cultural history and artistic integrity of the Fort Point neighborhood when the group of buildings at 346 Congress Street was being transformed into the vibrant lifestyle destination in place today.

In addition to the stunning gallery, FP3 features housing for live-work studios for working artists, as well as Barbara Lynch’s Drink, Sportello, and Menton; all distinctly perfect restaurants to visit before or after viewing the art on display in the gallery. The gallery, located within the FP3 loft-style residential building is accessible by the MBTA Red Line (South Station) and the Silver Line (Courthouse Station).
