Society of Arts + Crafts’ New Digs
James Foritano
Boston’s own Society of Arts + Crafts has moved, with the blessing of the Boston Redevelopment Association (BRA), from its Newbury Street store of 40 years to a new domain down by the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston’s vigorously, even vertiginously, expanding waterfront.
A second floor perch of 9,000 square feet guarantees the Society a presence in a competition for presence as living and office spaces vie for a distinguished address and arresting façade that will hold the gaze of a new tenant long enough for a deal.
And then what? After a foothold is secured in the business of life, there’s the art of living to consider.
The art of living is a top priority for Mattye Dewhirst in both her former role as retail assistant and her additional role as on-site interior decorator, thanks to the added feet of this much larger harbor space.
