Boston has long been home to many legendary figures and personalities. In an effort to honor these people for their fine work and achievements, Ackerley Outdoor Advertising teamed-up with Joe Tecce's Restaurant, a landmark eatery in Boston's North End, to develop the Gallery of Grand Bostonians, a tribute to the many citizens, past and present, who have made an impact on the Boston area.
Nominees were invited to participate in the Gallery by submitting a recent photograph. From these photos, artist Daniel Varoujan Hejinian composed and drew an individual "likeness" of each of Massachusetts' most popular figures for display in the Gallery
