Art New England Magazine’s Art Salon Series at FP3
You may be wondering, ‘What is an Art Salon?’
A salon is defined as “a gathering of people under the roof of an inspiring host, held partly to amuse one another and partly to refine the taste and increase their knowledge of the participants through conversation.” Salons are commonly associated with the literary and philosophical movements in France during the 17th and 18th centuries.
Join us for a modern-day Art Salon at FP3
An evening of cocktails and conversation with photographer Jack Dzamba. View his exhibit and book, Paris in Boston. The book is a collection of fine art photography, bringing to light the Parisian influence in so much of the art and architecture in Boston.
Did you know that the façade of the Boston Public Library is molded on that of the Bibliothèque Saint Genevieve in Paris? Did you ever notice how much the Genzyme headquarters recalls Notre Dame in the evening?
This event is the premiere of Art New England Magazine’s new Art Salon Series as part of its Art Everywhere Project. Cocktails will be provided by Cold River Vodka and Ambrosia Events and Catering.

Smooth Sailing for Fort Point Channel Public Docks & Programs
The Fort Point Channel’s revitalization should be ’smooth sailing’ from this point forward!
The Harbor Line Exemption legislation (originally filed by Senator Jack Hart of South Boston) was signed by Governor Deval Patrick on August 3, 2010 as part of the Watersheet Activation Plan, which was the 2003 winner of the American Planning Association’s Massachusetts Chapter for Comprehensive Planning, proposed by Friends of Fort Point Channel, Save the Harbor/Save the Bay, The Boston Harbor Association, and the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA).
The legislation is designed to improve public access to Boston’s Fort Point Channel through boating programs, increased water transportation, and touch-and-go-docks as part of Mayor Menino’s mission to transform the fifty acre land-and-water Fort Point area into Boston’s next great public space. The Fort Point Channel is being touted as the next “Boston Common”, with, of course, the added bonus of being on the water. The Watersheet Activation Plan also calls for creative water-based uses, including small boat activities, performances, art installations, and special events and festivals, as well as public space to relax and enjoy the waterfront.
If you’ve visited the Fort Point area, you may have seen some of these goals already coming to fruition with events like synchronized sailing and various art installations on the water created by Fort Point area artists, such as the floating art installation, ‘House of Cards’ by Lisa Greenfield (photographed below).
'House of Cards', by Lisa Greenfield in 2008
With the passing of this legislation, you can expect to start seeing a lot more activity in the Fort Point Channel and the surrounding Fort Point area!
FP3 is proud to be part of the exciting changes that have been improving the Fort Point Channel and Boston Seaport neighborhoods.
Come see what all the buzz is about! Stop by one of Barbara Lynch’s restaurants on our ground floor, take a tour of FP3, and become a resident of one of the most dynamic areas of Boston!
Check our Home Page for the latest announcement of upcoming Open Houses, or ‘Like’ our Facebook Page for Open House notices and information on special events hosted at FP3! We’ve got a great schedule of events planned for the fall, so keep checking back for updates! Recent events include art openings at the FP3 Art Gallery, Rooftop Yoga on one of our Penthouse Suite terraces, a Boston Pride Party, and more!
As you can see from the rendering of the Fort Point Channel as it appears in the Watersheet Activation Plan, the Channel will begin to see a lot more recreational boating and activities with the passing of this legislation!
Vicky Tomayko Exhibit Featured in Stuff Magazine
The gallery at FP3 is currently featuring art created by Detroit-born, Cape Cod-based artist, Vicky Tomayko. FP3 is proud to be hosting Vicky’s first-ever solo art show in Boston.
Stuff tonight notes that Vicky “takes inspiration from nature but imbues her landscapes with wit and weirdness, creating narrative worlds full of whimsical creatures — watchful forests, chubby antenna-eyed bipeds, friendly amoebas. Much of her recent work incorporates multiple printing techniques and focuses on liquid spaces.”
Sky Blue Miss You - by Vicky Tomayko
Don’t worry if you missed the Opening Reception on August 12th- her work will be on display in the FP3 Lobby/ Gallery space until October 9th!

Boston’s downtown condominium market saw sales surging by 30 percent in the second quarter of this 2010 when compared with the same period in 2009, according to data released by Listing Information Network, a Boston firm that tracks real estate. The number of condos sold between April and June of last year was 653, this year it was up to 849 for the second quarter.
Sales in luxury buildings, such as FP3, offering amenities such as valet and concierge services —increased by 9 percent to 121 sales in the second quarter, compared with the 2009 quarter, according to the data.
In a recent Boston Globe report on the downtown Boston condo market, Joseph Laurano, director of operations for developers Berkeley Investments, attributed the recent sales at FP3 to a change in marketing strategy as well as improvements in the economy and continuing low interest rates. “The [FP3] building is now 60 percent sold. Folks on firm financial footing view now as an opportunistic time to purchase urban real estate.’’

Plugged In: Fort Point Channel

(styleboston) – Get Plugged In to Fort Point Channel, former industrial hub, now, home to much of Boston’s artist community. Tony Corey chats with Joanne Chang, the mastermind behind Flour Bakery + Café, the newest of which just opened in Cambridge. When Joanne Chang came to Fort Point they thought she was crazy. Now, Fort Point Channel is a creative, vibrant neighborhood, so close to downtown crossing, that on any given day it’s all abuzz.
Joanne Chang, owner of Flour Bakery
Chang isn’t the only one who’s made her home there. Barbara Lynch’s food empire is based in Fort Point, Thompson Reuters spans an entire street and, of course, ADD Inc and Rue La La brighten the skyline.
What’s most compelling about living or working in Fort Point? According to ADD Inc.’s Fred Kramer – the people. He said, on any given day, walking down the street, you’re likely to bump into another creative soul, someone who’s young, up and coming, and part of the movement. When you walk down the street in Fort Point, you mingle with artists, designers, green urban planners and a whole lot of intellectuals.
If that doesn’t get you down to Fort Point, Joanne Chang’s cupcakes will! Not only do they “taste like air” according to Tony, but most of them are Vegan! Just like the neighborhood’s credo – there’s a little bit of something for everyone.
