East Boston, MA — The ClipArt Gallery, in collaboration with Atlantic Works Gallery (AWG) and curated by AWG member Jean M. Bernstein, presents East Boston Muralists…Reimagined, an exhibition featuring the personal works of two renowned muralists whose large-scale public art can be found throughout East Boston and beyond: Felipe Ortiz and Sophy Tuttle.
During the pandemic, Ortiz and Tuttle were among a group of talented artists selected to create a series of murals in East Boston inspired by themes of nature and the environment. The project was led by local arts organization HarborArts in partnership with global organizations Sea Walls and PangeaSeed Foundation. This multi-year initiative resulted in more than 20+ murals across East Boston, establishing the neighborhood as a leader in public art activations.
“Mural artistry is an extraordinary practice, both inspiring and challenging due to its monumental scale,” said curator Jean M. Bernstein. “When I first met Felipe, we discussed highlighting his murals in an exhibition. But after seeing his personal work—which is not as visible to the public as his murals—I knew the vision for the show should evolve.”
East Boston Muralists…Reimagined shifts the focus from the artists’ large-scale public work to their more personal creations. The exhibition features a vibrant selection of Ortiz’s and Tuttle’s original works and framed prints, revealing the same energy and dynamism that characterizes their murals.
The exhibition will be on view from October 6, 2025 – April 10, 2026, with an opening reception featuring drinks, charcuterie, and live music on Wednesday, October 29 from 6–8 PM at The ClipArt Gallery. Gallery hours are Saturdays from 12–4 PM, or by appointment.
Located along East Boston’s harborfront in the Clippership Wharf community, The ClipArt Gallery hosts semi-annual exhibitions curated by artists from neighboring Atlantic Works Gallery at 80 Border Street—just around the corner from Sophy Tuttle’s mural Fear. Founded in 2003, Atlantic Works Gallery is a collaborative space dedicated to supporting its members and fostering the exchange of art and ideas.
