Somerville Open Studios

Somerville bursts at the seams with art! From fashion to film to interactive art, there is something for everyone. SOS weekend continues to inspire and enchant the art-loving public when artists open their doors.  Visit home studios and commercial buildings such as Joy Street, Brickbottom, Vernon Street, Mad Oyster, Central Street, and Mud Flat Studios!

Run entirely by artists, this event showcases established and emerging artists:  painting, sculpture, photography, fiber, jewelry, clay, glass, furniture, and installation art–anything you might want to explore is here in the ‘Ville.

Some artists open for a “sneak peek” Friday evening May 3 from 6-9 pm.  The citywide event with hundreds of Somerville artists opening their doors takes place from 12 Noon to 6 pm on Saturday, May 4 and Sunday May 5.  Arts at the Armory (191 Highland Avenue) hosts artists in a community space Saturday and Sunday.

The Beyond the Pattern Fashion Show will be at the Armory from 7-9 PM on Thursday evening, May 2nd.
