First+First partners with local artists!

Lindsay Leigh — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 17:57:58 +0000

Broadway Village and First+First are proud to be collaborating with local South Boston artists to showcase their work in our First+First model unit.

We are so excited to be showcasing work from Artists for Humanity and local South Boston resident Carrie Howder. Here is little something something about our artists!

Carrie Howder

Carrie is a self-taught abstract expressionist artist who uses mostly acrylic paints in her work. She is originally from Minnesota living her formidable years in Arizona. She now resides in South Boston and feels extremely fortunate to live by the ocean, which she loves. While walking the Castle Island loop, she likes to sit at the Sugar Bowl and watch the sun reflect off the water. The harmony of the sunlight, the clouds passing over head, the wind rippling the waves creates a colorful palette that inspires her work. Sheis inspired by Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Helen Frankenthaler, Ronnie Landfield & other stain painters.

We are excited for Eddie McColgan, youth artist and assistant mentor, to be featured at the new First+First Townhomes located on intersection of East First Street & Dorchester Street. Please join us tomorrow evening for the unveiling of the model unit as we celebrate new art and architecture in our local community.

Where else but Southie this St. Patty’s weekend?

Lindsay Leigh — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 17:30:07 +0000

Even with our mild winter, St. Patty’s Day for many of us officially commemorates the beginning of Spring. South Boston boasts one of the largest parades in the country. At least 600,000 people are expected to line the streets of Southie on March 18th to watch the parade that was first celebrated in 1901.

The parade starts at 1pm and begins at the West Broadway T stop and continues up West Broadway, then through the streets of City Point and eventually ending up at the Andrew Square T stop. This is a time honored tradition in Southie and we are proud to host such a beloved event!

For more information check out the South Boston Parade Website at:

See you there!
