“It's a space that has invited friendships and connections into our lives; enriching the livelihood of our community. I so much appreciate each artist's dedication to their craft, and I look forward to seeing more of the gallery's growth and commitment to the community.”

Visit Show Up
ShowUp is located on Harrison Avenue in Boston's South End between Union Square and Randolph Street. We are on the same side as the iconic "Power Station" building, just a few doors down. We are down a set of steps inside the same entrance as Dahlia’s.
Please click on the Google Map at the right for directions tailored to your location. Directions are also available here.
Parking
There is on-street visitor parking on Harrison Avenue just outside the gallery, and on both sides of Randolph Street, just around the corner. There are metered spots on Washington Street, parallel to Harrison Ave. More and more of the GTI lots (surrounding ShowUp) are monthly passes only, so we wouldn’t recommend using those, but their lots on Albany Street under 93 are open to the public.
