In celebration of Hanukkah, BXP featured the luminous print Candy Candelabra by AFH teen artist Tiesha Semedo in the windows of the Prudential Center. Tiesha created the original piece in our Printmaking Studio. It was then handed off to our Photography Studio to shoot in parts at high-res and then meticulously stitch back together for it to scale onto the huge windows of the Prudential Center. This special holiday display, enjoyed by both passersby on the street and those walking its interior, stemmed from our ongoing partnership with BXP. In particular, the current digital exhibition featuring AFH teens’ artwork throughout the Pru’s interior each month.

The leading provider of software development and visibility tools, SmartBear, commissioned AFH to design and install a large-scale graphic mural to co-exist with the other cityscape images located throughout their newly renovated headquarters at Assembly Row. Businesswire and The Middle East North Africa Financial Network online publication are just two press articles where AFH was briefly noted for its creative contribution to their enhanced interior. Going global!

AFH collaborated with the legendary multi-media artist David Byrne to create a mural along a 120' meandering wall that flanks the interior public passageway from W 1st St. to W. 2nd St. in South Boston. Based on a sketch Byrne provided, the AFH team designed and painted the bucolic landscape to serve as the canvas for his signature drawings. The result—Imagination Over Reality—a mural that invites the public to imagine the impossible! Our Photography and Video Production studios captured the process from beginning to end, sharing this unlikely partnership—between a developer, a nonprofit and a rock icon—creating a whole lot of good! 

Commissioned by the law firm Foley Hoag, AFH created the exhibition The Art of Change—a series of five 4'x5' paintings, created in dialogue with Foley Hoag's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee. Works depict seminal social and literary activists whose commitments mirrored the clients' legal efforts on behalf of those striving for a more equitable society. Accompanied by a graphic installation, the commissioned paintings are exhibited along a prominent hallway at the entrance to the law firm. The inclusion of a video of the exhibition's making created by our Video Production Studio extends both the reach and the story of the partnership.

In partnership with Boston Private Bank & Trust Company, AFH designed and executed a large-scale mural on a prominent wall in the lobby of the Bank’s new Boston branch, located in the converted Panera Bread at 450 Boylston Street. Visible to passersby, the mural reflects the value of community—showcasing people and places in the Back Bay, with a series of  “Polaroid photos” emerging from the background. AFH is also delivering a 60-90 second ‘making of’ video demonstrating the process and positive impact resulting from AFH Teen participation.

AFH’s Painting Studio designed and executed a customized mural for Kensington Luxury Condo’s indoor dog relief area. The mural was designed to welcome dog owners into the space.

This mural was commissioned by TA Realty for the lobby of their property at 131 Dartmouth St. located in Back Bay. The printed image, approximately 60'w x 10'h commencing 12' off the lobby floor, was recreated from the fine art painting titled "Eastgate" by AFH teen artist Brennan Commisso.

Designed, printed and installed two graphic murals for office space at 263 Summer Street. The buildings and architecture of the office’s surroundings inspired the cityscape design, including the 263 Summer Street’s neon sign roof feature.

Designed, fabricated and installed a new wayfinding system for the Guild’s two-story day/residential facility. The system was designed to guide people through the physical environment and enhance understanding of and experience with the space, taking into consideration both the residents/students with disabilities and behavioral health challenges and visitors alike. It includes graphic murals that denote the varied 'neighborhoods' or wings of the building.

Designed and executed a custom mural highlighting different modes of transportation for the SBWTC bike storage room. This mural welcomes bike riders as they park their bikes at an otherwise utilitarian space.
