As we celebrate ten years in our expansive “new” home at the entrance of Boston’s North End, we think about our beginnings as a School, the personal evolution of craftspeople, and the many, varied backgrounds of our community members prior to joining their chosen trades. Our 2024 Exhibition: Then & Now highlights the growth of our students and alumni as craftspeople and their journeys before and after NBSS.

Duration: Friday, May 3 through Saturday, August 10, 2024
Hours: Monday through Friday 9:00am to 5:00pm, Saturdays 10:00am to 2:00pm
