Boston City Hall showcases art for Black History Month

BOSTON – The cement block exterior of City Hall doesn't normally attract admirers, but inside the gray façade, the work of Boston artists in City Hall Galleries is bringing life to the otherwise gloomy space.

Three shows are on display in City Hall Galleries through the end of February in honor of Black History month. An opening reception will take place on Feb. 4 from 4 – 5 p.m. in the main lobby. The galleries are located in the main mezzanine on the third floor and down the two escalators past the ticket clerks on the second floor.
