Zullo Gallery has Bought its Building

Press release from the Zullo Gallery –

Signed, sealed, delivered:
Zullo Secures Main St. Home

After decades of “some day” hoping to purchase the 454-456A Main St. building, that day finally
arrived. On June 24, the Zullo Gallery-Center for the Arts officially secured its permanent home
for the arts in downtown Medfield with the sale closing, and Zullo Executive Director Bill Pope
proudly receiving the deed.
Pope noted the entire journey to purchase the building was complicated, challenging, and even
tense at times, but that made it all the more gratifying when everything fell into place at the
closing.
“First and foremost, we couldn’t have done this without Tom and Lisa Nightingale giving us the
opportunity in February to purchase the building from them, and continue our work at the Zullo,”
said Pope. “From there, our biggest tasks included raising more than $600,000, forming two
different legal entities, and getting bank approval for financing.”
Pope noted that in addition to the Nightingales, more than 35 individuals stepped up with
donations or other types of funding that helped to make the building purchase possible.
Needham Bank also played a critical role in providing financing, with many questions posed and
documents required in the final hours before the sale, but with all details falling into place by
June 24.
In addition to the Zullo Gallery on the second floor of the building, Zullo Gallery Realty LLC now
owns the first-floor space rented by Casabella Pizza, Medfield Barbershop and Absi Jewelers.
The second legal entity created as part of the building purchase governs investor financing.
After the dust settles, Pope plans to pick a date for a celebration of this new chapter of the Zullo
Gallery. In the meantime, a new nine-person board is in the process of being confirmed (with a
few seats still available), and the Zullo team is working with a consultant on a strategic visioning
project funded by a $10,000 Medfield Foundation Legacy Fund grant. Community members
interested in learning more about Zullo board opportunities are encouraged to contact Pope at
wpope1@mac.com. Pope notes that having board members with legal and/or property
management expertise would be especially helpful.
For nearly four decades, the Zullo Gallery has fulfilled its mission to advance and support the
arts through exhibitions, art education, live music and community events. Donations will be
critical for supporting future programming, and can be made online at zullogallery.org/make-adonation/ or mailed to/dropped off at Zullo Gallery, 456A Main St., Medfield, MA 02052.
“In addition to the Town House, library and Historical Society, there is now – as there should be —
a permanent home for the arts in the heart of downtown Medfield. We can’t thank the
community enough for helping to make this Zullo Gallery dream a reality,” said Pope

MEDFIELD, Mass. (April 9, 2025) — The Zullo Gallery-Center for the Arts, a nonprofit arts organization in downtown Medfield, is moving toward ownership of its longtime home at 454-456A Main St., thanks to a pending building sale and more than $500,000 in community commitments.

Building owners Tom and Lisa Nightingale have reached an agreement to sell the historic property to the Zullo Gallery. The deal follows months of fundraising and planning by Executive Director Bill Pope, and a group of Zullo trustees, advisory board members and other supporters.

Among the 35 individuals who pledged support are the Nightingales themselves. The final piece is coming together with financing from Needham Bank, a longtime supporter of the gallery that previously funded construction of the rooftop deck in 2007.

A Long-Awaited Goal

“We’ve had many twists and turns over the last two months,” said Pope. “And while we still have additional steps to go, we’re excited to have gotten this far with so much community support for the Zullo Gallery to have a permanent home in downtown Medfield.”

Pope said purchasing the building has been a long-term goal for the organization. Ownership will allow for capital improvements that are otherwise out of reach for renters — including handicapped accessibility, which will open up new grant opportunities, as well as a kitchen and deck covering to support expanded programming.

Pope also emphasized that the gallery plans to retain its three downstairs tenants: Casa Bella Pizza, Absi Jeweler, and Medfield Barbershop. “They’re an important part of what makes Main Street special,” he said.

History, Legacy and the Arts

Tom Nightingale, who purchased the building in 2015, said selling to the Zullo is a meaningful decision.

“As someone raised and educated in Medfield, with children who were also involved in the arts, my wife and I have enjoyed seeing the Zullo thrive and grow since its founding in 1988,” he said. “We’re pleased to be part of its future.”

He added, “To shepherd this historical property for a decade while creating opportunities for three first-generation immigrants to live the American dream, and my fourth-grade gym teacher to bring the arts to our community, has been a real privilege.”

The Main Street building lies within the Town Center Historic District. Though the town assessment database lists it as built in 1890, local records and historians — including Medfield Town Historian Richard DeSorgher — indicate the structure was built around 1860 and relocated from North Street to Main Street.

For nearly four decades, the Zullo Gallery has presented art exhibitions, art classes, live music and community events. In addition to Needham Bank, past and present supporters include Medfield Foundation Inc. and Massachusetts Cultural Council via the Medfield Cultural Council.

Community members who want to join the team that is making a significant investment in the future of the gallery are encouraged to contact Bill Pope for details.

Regular donations can be made online at zullogallery.org or mailed to/dropped off at Zullo Gallery, 456A Main St., Medfield, MA 02052.

BELOW IS BILL POPE’S LETTER TO the ZULLO COMMUNITY –

Zullo Poised to Buy Medfield Building;Community Offers $500K of Support

April 9, 2025
Dear Friends,
A great landlord is exceedingly rare, but for our non-profit Zullo Gallery-Center for the Arts, it has been a true gem. I’m excited to announce that the Zullo Gallery has entered into an agreement with local residents and building owners Tom and Lisa Nightingale to purchase the 454-456A Main St., Medfield property. Helping to forge this agreement has been a contingent of Zullo Gallery advisory board members and supporters pulling together more than $500,000 in commitments from 35 community members (including the Nightingales themselves) to seal the deal.

We are currently working with Needham Bank to finalize financing for the remaining purchase price. Needham Bank funded the Zullo rooftop deck in 2007, and has supported the gallery with numerous event sponsorships over the years.  Navigating the path ahead
The process began in late January after the Nightingales let us know they were considering selling the building and would offer the Zullo the right-of-first refusal. While we’ve had many twists and turns since that time, and still have additional steps to go, we’re excited to have gotten this far with so much community support for the Zullo Gallery to have a permanent home in downtown Medfield. 

As many long-time supporters know, owning the building has been a goal for decades, but the opportunity always passed us by. Especially important will be making the Zullo handicapped accessible since it will allow us to qualify for more and larger grants. A kitchen and covered rooftop deck are also much-needed building improvements that will in turn, allow for expanded programming. It’s been difficult to do all of this as renters.  It’s important to add that the Zullo team intends to retain the three tenant businesses below (Casa Bella Pizza, Absi Jeweler and Medfield Barbershop) which greatly contribute to the small-business landscape and character of Medfield’s Main Street. 

Keeping the legacy alive
“As someone who was raised and educated in Medfield, and had children who also went through Medfield Public Schools and were involved in the arts, my wife and I have enjoyed seeing the non-profit Zullo Gallery thrive and grow since its founding in 1988. We’re pleased to have reached an agreement to sell the building to the Zullo, and to be a part of its future,” said Tom Nightingale, who purchased the building in 2015.

He added, “To shepherd this historical property for a decade while creating opportunities for three first-generation immigrants to live the American dream, and my fourth-grade gym teacher to bring the arts to our community, has been a real privilege. We’re excited to see the Zullo move to the next chapter in its history.” The Main Street building is in the Town Center Historic District. Records and an article by Town Historian Richard DeSorgher indicate that the building was constructed around 1860 on North Street and later moved to Main Street (even though the town assessment database states it was built in 1890).  For nearly 40 years, the Zullo Gallery has hosted art exhibits, art classes, live music and community events. In addition to Needham Bank, the Zullo counts Medfield Foundation Inc., and Mass Cultural Council/Medfield Cultural Council among its major past and/or present supporters.  On behalf of our Zullo Gallery Board of Trustees, Advisory Board members, and everyone else who has supported the gallery for nearly 40 years, thank you. The building purchase is an exciting milestone for the Zullo Gallery-Center for the Arts, and we hope you’ll continue to be a big part of its continued success.

Sincerely,
Bill PopeExecutive Director, Zullo Gallery-Center for the Arts

P.S. You can still be part of the team that is making a significant investment in the future of the Zullo Gallery!

A $600K goal…

Zullo Seeks to Secure its Future
by Exploring Main St. Building Purchase

In 1988, when a group of arts supporters sought to establish the non-profit Zullo Gallery Center for the Arts in the historic building at 456 Main St. in Medfield, it benefited from landlords who believed in the gallery mission to advance and support the arts, and who have supported it themselves with extremely reasonable lease agreements.

Now, more than 35 years later, the local residents who currently own the property are contemplating selling it, and have offered the Zullo Gallery the chance to purchase the building from them after a decade of ownership. (The building in which the Zullo Gallery is located is under separate ownership from Brothers Marketplace.)

For nearly four decades, the Zullo Gallery has realized its mission in countless ways – whether through a variety of exhibits, art classes, live music, or as gathering space for the community.
Since the gallery’s inception, we’ve wanted the Zullo to have a true permanent home in its current Main Street location. Ownership of the site provides the security needed to invest in the building, build a long-term vision for the gallery, qualify for significant arts and cultural grants, and possibly receive tax benefits.

After a financial analysis of revenue, expenses and bank loan, the Zullo Gallery has determined it would need to raise $600,000 by March 1 to allow it to move forward with purchase negotiations.

Zullo Gallery trustees and advisory board members are in support of the Zullo exploring the building purchase, but with the realization that a significant amount of funding will be needed in a short amount of time.

We are hoping that between existing Zullo supporters, local community members, and possible ‘Angel Investors,’ we can raise the money needed to keep the gallery in its current location. Doing so would not only allow the Zullo Gallery to continue in downtown Medfield, but hopefully provide some peace of mind to our small business-owner friends below.

Anyone who is interested in supporting Zullo Gallery efforts to purchase the building, either with a financial contribution, pledge or fundraising support, can contact me via e-mail or phone at 508-843-2375. Donations to the Zullo to support overall programming and sustainability can always be made at zullogallery.org/support.

Sincerely,
Bill Pope
Executive Director

P.S. We are also hosting an information session at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 20 at the Zullo Gallery.

Please stop in if you are interested in learning more.




History of Zullo Gallery building

The building at 456 Main St., Medfield, is located in the Town Center Historic District.
Established on the site around 1880, the Zullo Gallery space was once the headquarters for the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R) Moses Ellis Post 117. The G.A.R. was an organization that pledged to care for Civil War veterans, help them find jobs, forge friendships, and foster political unity.

The original G.A.R headquarters in the historic Main Street building was comprised of two main halls, according to the American Legion Beckwith Post 110 website. The first-floor hall was used for G.A.R banquets and dinners, and the upper hall was used for meetings. The national G.A.R. officially disbanded in 1956. In Medfield, the Main Street building where G.A.R was once housed became retail establishments after its own decline more than a decade earlier.

The Zullo Gallery was named after the Zullo family, which owned downtown businesses and was a pillar of the Medfield community.

Artist Ann Gorbett has created several AR experiences for the Zullo Gallery exhibit under the title of "Celebrating Medfield: Its History And Its Future." For the one shown, she created historical images floating in spheres over Baker’s Pond.
Noah Paessel's AR creation, "Ephemeral Forms," was inspired by "Lake Nemi," a painting by famous artist George Inness (1825-1894) whose historic home & studio is at 406 Main St. Visitors can experience the work from the sidewalk in front of the property.
Artist Tatianya Keating created an explosion of color and abstract shapes in front of the Medfield Town House for her AR work, "Press Play," inspired by the influence of community and action.
The Zullo Gallery serves as home for Duncan Reid's AR piece, "Self-reflection of the Grandmother of Invention," featuring a virtual astronaut that comes to life as a giant that can be moved around the gallery space.

Historical images captured in balls floating over Baker’s Pond…the work of a famous artist coming to life in front of his former studio (now a historic site)…an astronaut and futuristic spy providing a sci-fi vibe — these are just examples of the 20 experiences around Medfield created by artists for the groundbreaking Zullo Gallery augmented reality (AR) exhibit, “Evolution of a Small Town.”

To help members of the public get the most out of the new exhibit, the Zullo at 456A Main St., offers a variety of opportunities to try out AR, learn about participating artists, and get information about viewing all the sites around town:

  • On-site at the Zullo Gallery during regular hours — Saturdays and Sundays, 12 to 5 p.m.;
  • A special “launch talk” at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 16; and
  • An artists’ reception at the gallery from 5 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 30.

The AR exhibit runs through Sunday, June 23, with nearly a dozen participating artists from the Greater Boston area who developed work to experience through a hand-held device, typically a cell phone or iPad.

Featured presenter for the free May 16 launch talk is Hoverlay co-founder Nicolas Robbe, who has been working with the Zullo and artists over many weeks to teach them about augmented reality, guide their work, and help the gallery with the innovative initiative funded by a grant from the Medfield Foundation Legacy Fund. Acton-based Hoverlay specializes in the development and creative use of AR technology.

Zullo Gallery Executive Director Bill Pope noted that the talk will be especially useful for helping members of the public better understand AR and get guidance on using the free Hoverlay app so they can fully experience all of the exhibit sites. “We’re excited to expand artistic horizons by taking an exhibit out of the Zullo and literally bringing it to the streets of Medfield,” said Pope.

“As one of the first galleries to virtually expand into its community through augmented reality, the Zullo is pioneering a new way to bring local art directly to the public,” said Robbe. “This innovative approach not only transcends the physical boundaries of a gallery, but also forms a deeper connection between local artists and the community.”

Inside the Zullo itself, a variety of AR experiences are featured, including exhibits related to Medfield history, interactive drawings, and a larger-than-life astronaut that moves around the room.

Other artistic AR subjects as part of the exhibit, include:

  • Former George Inness home and artist studio (“Lake Nemi” inspired virtual sculpture – 406 Main St.);
  • Medfield Public Library/Gazebo (confetti celebration & sparkles – 468 Main St.);
  • Medfield Historical Society & Main/North St. power box (Jack the Dog – 6 Pleasant St. & 478 Main St.);
  • Medfield Town House (colorful interpretation of community & action – 459 Main St.);
  • Rail Trail (train station theme – Farm Street intersection);
  • Peak House Heritage Center (Colonial kitchen garden – 347 Main St.);
  • Old Meetinghouse/First Parish UU church (ghostly experience – 26 North St.);
  • Baker Pond (suspended balls over water with historic sites enclosed – North & Frairy St.);
  • Medfield State Hospital (historical- & nature-themed works – Sledding Hill and Main Campus off Hospital Road, and MSH Cemetery off Rte. 27); and
  • Bank of America (electric vehicle charging station – 406 Main St. parking lot).

Prior to visiting the sites, viewers should download the free Hoverlay AR browser app from Apple App Store, Google Play or via https://hoverlay.io/ZulloARCanvas.

Once the app is set and the viewer’s location is enabled, ZulloARCanvas becomes the launch site for all the Medfield experiences, complete with a map that marks the sites, and a built-in GPS to help direct users to the best viewing spot. (QR codes will soon be placed in certain locations.)

The artists showcased in the exhibit are:

  • Polo Barrera
  • Kathy Desmond
  • Gail Fischer
  • Ann Gorbett
  • Tatianya Keating
  • Michael Lewy
  • Sasja Lucas
  • Noah Paessel
  • Duncan Reid
  • Daniel Robartes
  • Amy Schubert

The Medfield Foundation Legacy Fund is a professionally managed endowment created to support community-driven projects. Volunteer-run and designed to complement the initiatives of Medfield organizations, the Medfield Foundation Legacy Fund raises private funds for public good.

Since 1988, the Zullo Gallery has hosted art exhibits, art classes, live music, community events, and private rental space. More information about the gallery is available at Zullogallery.org.

Dear Friend of the Zullo Gallery,

Who would have thought that when the Zullo Gallery was created 31 years ago to simply bring art into Medfield it would evolve from its humble beginnings into the arts center that it is today?

The success of the Gallery has been made possible because of generous support from thousands of individuals and organizations. Annual gifts from people like you are what allows the gallery to keep its doors open and to operate on a day-to-day basis. Here are just a few specific examples of how annual giving has had an impact on the gallery and art in our community over the past year:

* Five art exhibitions including our 25th Annual Juried Exhibition; a special one month Student-Faculty show; an exhibit centered around the very accomplished artist and Massachusetts College of Art and Design instructor, Irena Roman, and six of her most talented students titled The Ripple Effect; and, our very successful November-December Holiday Exhibit featuring more than 100 works from eleven artists priced at $375 or less.

* Live music performances, including resident trumpeter Tom Duprey; a Jazz Jam with Medfield HS alumni and former music director Doug Olsen; a Songwriters Festival; and, a Live Music Holiday Celebration show featuring a cappella, bluegrass, jazz, folk and acoustic musicians from Medfield and nearby towns.

 

* Hundreds of children and adults served by art classes taught by talented art instructors.

* Zullo First Thursday gatherings – our monthly celebration of the arts, and Summer Thursdays on the rooftop deck, that helped to create a sense of community.

The gallery has grown to become a home for the arts that works hard to support emerging and established artists, present live music performances, add cultural enrichment to the town, inspire youth and adults through art classes, and serve as a town wide gathering spot.

As we head into our 32nd year, we seek to further develop our programs, permanently expand our open hours, and make needed improvements to our facility – but we need your help!

Our work supporting and promoting the arts depends upon the financial support of many individuals.

Please consider making a donation to the non-profit Zullo Gallery Center For The Arts today.

We greatly appreciate your generosity.

Yours in art,

William F. Pope

Executive Director

Zullo show-20150930

I saw the current show last weekend, and especially liked this painting – it is large and positioned a the end of the gallery so that when you walk into the space it is directly ahead.  It is painted on a flattened cardboard box, making me wonder if it was the man’s home.  I was struck by the irony of the fact that the MSH kids recently did a sleep out at the Town House, a wonderful local learning event, started I discovered last week by Richard DeSorgher, when the kids usually sleep in cardboard boxes for one night.   However, to me this man did not look like he was only doing it for one night.  A local connection making me think about the larger world.

Another Medfield connection to the rest of the world occurred for me on Medfield Day when I visited the Amilia’s Light booth and learned about how that organization is reaching out from Medfield to help girls in Uganda escape from prostitution.  It certainly both surprised my Medfield Day, and moved me enough to buy for Kristen a Ugandan made rolled paper bracelet made by those girls.

We are fortunate to have such things as the Zullo Gallery and Amilia’s Light in our town, things that both astonish and make us think.
