Open studios season kicks off in the City of Boston

Open Studios are a series of events held in various neighborhoods throughout the City where artists come together to open their workspaces to the public and display their artwork. Every neighborhood’s Open Studios is organized differently, but they function the same way: community members can explore their neighborhood, meet local artists, learn about their process, and even purchase some artwork. 

Open Studios events are also a great way to discover parts of a neighborhood that you’ve never seen before, try new restaurants, and peruse local stores in Boston’s historic neighborhoods and main streets districts. They are completely free and open to the public, and all ages are welcome to attend. 

Events like these are a reminder of the immense talent that exists in each of our neighborhoods. We encourage everyone to check out an Open Studios event happening in their community, or in a neighborhood that you’re not as familiar with. Join us in supporting and celebrating the local artists living in Boston!
