We all know the Boston in postcards. This isn’t that show.

We’re looking for the Boston you actually know.
Not the skyline or the tourist stops, but the details that make someone say, “That’s so Boston.”

A neighborhood tradition. A corner store. A familiar sign. A local saying. An everyday object. The things an outsider might overlook, but a Bostonian would recognize instantly.

Your work doesn’t need to depict Boston literally. It can be a place, a person, or an object. What matters is that it captures something unmistakably Boston.

Look again. Show us what you see.
