Immerse yourself in @eleventhhour_art’s exhibit, Everyday Legends, by @nathanbenn87 📷. This extraordinary collection of photography was captured primarily during Benn’s assignment for National Geographic Magazine and books published by the National Geographic Society. They are all limited edition prints 😲.

Benn’s interest in photography started early and led him to work for National Geographic for nearly two decades. He later served as Director of Magnum Photos. See the exhibit before it closes on March 29th!

P.S. Eleventh Hour Art, in partnership with @makeitframe, will be hosting an artist talk with Nathan on March 12th from 7-9PM. This event is free and open to the public. Get your tickets by clicking the link in Eleventh Hour Art’s bio.

Thank you to everyone who plays a part in this lovely community and for helping us continue doing what we do on Atlantic Avenue. 

We are looking forward to what 2026 has in store 😉
