It is one of New England's largest artists' communities. <br /> During this period, I was active in the Fort Point Arts Community, Inc., where I was a board <br /> member for four years (including three as clerk) and chaired the Gallery Committee for six years; <br /> in 2020, my last year before returning to North Carolina, the gallery was selected by Boston <br /> Magazine Best in Boston.
