A parking lot in South Boston is being donated to the nonprofit Artists for Humanity (AFH) to expand its existing facility and create what the group is calling a "Creative Industries EpiCenter."

Procter & Gamble has been using the 9,000-square-foot parcel on A Street, which holds about 25 cars, as parking for employees working at its sprawling nearby Gillette manufacturing plant. The parking lot is immediately adjacent to the AFH’s existing space at 100 West 2nd Street.

"This land gift will allow AFH to significantly increase the number of teens we employ and engage more deeply with the community," Susan Rodgerson, AFH’s founding executive and artistic director, said in a statement. "We are very grateful to Gillette/P&G for this generous donation, which will not only provide more empowering jobs in arts and design for Boston teens, but also enable AFH to become a greater resource for Fort Point Channel residents and Innovation District businesses."

Exact expansion plans are still under review, but AFH expects it will open an onsite retail store, dedicated gallery space and a café in the new space. The AFH’s expansion will increase studio and production space, offer room to develop technical and vocational programs in technology-based arts media and trades, and increase partnership opportunities with Fort Point and Innovation District businesses, according to the statement. AFH’s 23,500-square-foot LEED Platinum facility was built in 2004.

More than 250 paid teenagers participate in the group’s core Youth Arts Enterprise program, and more than 520 participate in its open house program. To date, $672,087 in wages and commissions has been paid directly to teenage participants.
