Dorchester Arts Collaborative - Open Studios this
Weekend
What is Open Studios? Many artists live
in
Dorchester and have home studios.  Many artists work in group
sites such as the Pearl Street Studios or the Humphreys Street Studios.
Many pieces of public art exist in Dorchester and that number
is growing.
The question is this:
How can we celebrate and share the rich
artistic abundance here in Dorchester with everyone?
Open Studios is more than a week long event with particular emphasis on
getting to know the art, celebrating the art and getting to know the
artists and their work in Dorchester. There's a reception, a
bike ride and two afternoons of visits to local area artist studios.
More
about this event and
how to contact them.
