I want to get more people into 46 Waltham Street to see the beautiful work that is being created by some of the most talented artists in Boston.”

In addition to using the Facebook group as a promotional forum for 46 Waltham, Haynes’s mission is to foster and strengthen the 46 Waltham community by creating an online space for engaging with ideas and fostering opportunities for activities such as group showings. “The multimedia artist in me also wants to encourage the artists in our building to utilize social media by sharing photos and videos of their work,” said Haynes. Artists who join the Facebook group are invited to post images and videos, announce shows, and share information with both their fellow artists and the public.
