The Cambridge Community Exhibition features work by members of the Gallery 263 community who live and / or work in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This exhibition is the gallery’s first-ever community exhibition featuring only work by artists with ties to Cambridge. On view is art in a variety of mediums—including painting and mixed media—and in a range of styles.

The Cambridge Community Exhibition is an opportunity to celebrate the creative strength of Gallery 263’s immediate community in conjunction with the second annual Birthday Bash event on Saturday, June 10, 2023. Gallery 263, a nonprofit organization, is currently one of only a handful of art galleries in Cambridge and the only gallery in Cambridgeport. Some of the featured work for sale will help support the gallery if purchased, with varied percentages being donated back to the gallery by the exhibiting artists.
