Atlantic Works Gallery presents Roots of Passage: Artists Examine Immigration, a show that gives gallery members and selected guest artists the stage to investigate immigration from their own personal experiences. The show will feature the work of painter Chris Lan Hui Chou, painter, textile designer, and sculptor, Colette Brésilla and a number of member artists. "With East Boston’s rich tradition of welcoming immigrants, and now with immigration such a burning issue in the news today, the gallery felt compelled to not only examine, but to celebrate the issue," according to Atlantic Works Gallery founding member Eric Hess. The gallery is open Friday and Saturday from 2 to 6 p.m. The show's opening reception will be held on Thursday, July 18 from 6 to 9 p.m. Atlantic Works Gallery is located at 80 Border Street, Boston MA.
