ABOUT DRIVE-BY PROJECTS

What's Going On Now

WE'RE CREATING NEW CONNECTIONS

You may not have time to stop in, but there's always time to drive by!

Located at 81 Spring Street in Watertown, Massachussets, Drive-By is a small, innovative space committed to exhibiting provocative art in its storefront windows and small gallery.  For now, Drive-By is open by appointment - call or text 617-835-8255. After September 12, we will return to our regular hours, Thursdays 12-4pm and by appointment.

Drive-by Projects was founded by co-directors Beth Kantrowitz (bk projects) and Kathleen O'Hara (OH Projects) 10 years ago.

A BIT OF HISTORY 

DRIVE-BY PROJECTS

In the wake of the 2008 recession, Beth Kantrowitz and Kathleen O’Hara closed their respective galleries (allston skirt and OHT) in Boston’s South End. For the next two years they worked together on pop-up projects in found spaces including a building lobby, a clothing store, a restaurant . . . working to the mantra “good art looks good anywhere.” When they installed Honey Bunny in the storefront studio at 81 Spring Street in Watertown, they had found a new home.

Ten years have passed and Beth and Kathleen have hosted many exhibitions in their jewel box space. Their shows have ranged from Roadside Attraction with a food truck at the opening, to All That Glitters is Not Gold a push-back on the then new presidency of Donald Trump.

In the wake of a national crisis they have revamped their gallery space and website to include the Drive-by Store, an in-person and online mini bazaar including affordable art, small objects and unique finds, some bordering on the bizarre.

Please follow Beth and Kathleen as they continue with their mission to install what one critic described as “frisky exhibitions” in their Watertown space.
