Peter Taibi
Showrunner / Website Lead
Peter has been Jen’s partner in work and life. He’s helped run the Beacon Hill Art Walk, the Beacon Hill Holiday Fine Art Sale and various art events since the mid 2000s, and has been responsible for all of the shows’ websites. Together they transitioned Artists Crossing Gallery to an Arts Events company, pulling all of the shows under its umbrella. Peter can often be seen at the shows along with “Super Amber” and the volunteers, making sure all of the musicians, artists and visitors are taken care of and everything runs smoothly.
