UMass Dartmouth student’s art makes it to Boston

View UMass Dartmouth student Chi-Hang “Andy” Fung’s artwork at the Urban Market in Boston.
One of the premier restaurants in Boston known for its fabulous student artwork and great atmosphere, the Goody Glover restaurant, hosted a showing of local artwork in what is called the “Urban Art Market,” hosted by a group of talented young artists called the Glovebox.
With a façade adorned in beautiful lights and intricate decorations, the Goody Glover was quite a sight to a newcomer’s eye. Surprisingly, the building was quaint and the hallways were very slender. Paintings were thoughtfully placed in different areas of the building.
Some art pieces had prices underneath for auction. The auction took all the different pieces of local art displayed throughout the week and put them up for sale on Sunday, September 30.
The most exciting part of the event was finding our very own Chi-Hang “Andy” Fung’s artwork on display on the second floor of the art exhibit. Andy is currently a senior at UMass Dartmouth with a dual major in Electronic Imaging and Photography. Andy can be seen around campus taking pictures during all major events.
There were three different pieces of Andy’s artwork put up for display. Andy calls the largest of the pieces “Boston Commons” since the painting is derived from the architecture of the Boston Commons. This painting, which has taken Andy over a year to create, was a major focal point of the many art displays.
Being the first time his work has been displayed at a Boston art show, Andy said, “I felt honored to have my work displayed there.” The two smaller pieces also caught the eyes of many considering their unique appearance in comparison to the other pieces, which were portraits of people.
It’s important to take pride in supporting the local art and even more so, the fellow artists from our campus. If you are interested in attending a showing or you would like more information about the Glovebox, anyone can join the Facebook group “Glovebox” created by Liz Comperchio and Jodie Mcmenamin.
