Native Sun Wellness – South Boston

The competition accepted submissions through August 30, 2023, according to Caught in Southie. Native Sun marketing manager Christina Alario told the publication that the company wanted to give a local artist an opportunity as it prepared to open in South Boston. The assignment was concrete: submit an original concept and portfolio for consideration at Native Sun retail and grow locations. The report described the East First Street shop as planned for a fall opening; the retailer says the South Boston location launched in October 2023. Together, the sources show how the local-art pitch accompanied the opening campaign, while stopping short of establishing which artwork was selected or installed.
