Somerville Open Studios

Somerville Open Studios (SOS) is an all volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to making art and the art making process approachable to the general public.  Through its programming, SOS provides the public access to the work of visual artists living and working in the city of Somerville, Massachusetts.  Every spring, thousands of visitors walk the streets or ride the free trolley service to view art made within the community; to interact with local artists; and to have access to artists' working spaces. For over two decades, our goal has been to broaden the public's exposure to, and appreciation of, finished works of art as well as the art-making process.

The inability to open their studios in 2020, due to the global Covid 19 pandemic, has been heartbreaking for SOS artists.  They hope that these virtual tours of their studios and work will both enrich the spirit and encourage the creative impulse in all of us.
