South Boston Fall Open Studios
Open Studios weekend is almost here in South Boston. As usual The Distillery building (where I live and work) will be open with around 40 artists opening their doors to let you have a peek into their studios and processes. There are a lot of new faces around the building this year so even if you have been around in the past, it is a good time to visit and see some new art.
I have recently moved studios so, be sure to grab a map at the front door if you are trying to find me. I will be in Studio 405 which we are beginning to affectionally refer too as “The Tower”. It was a sad day when we had to break up our dysfunctional Studio 11 family but, I still plan on making my studio worth the trip.
The Weekly Did says we are cool cats and if you know what’s up, you probably agree. So come on out on Saturday and Sunday, November 5 & 6, 2011 and see some great Boston art.

Artists and craftspeople of South Boston will open their doors to the public Saturday and Sunday, November 5 & 6, 2011 as part of the annual South Boston Open Studios event. Visitors will be able to talk to and make purchases directly from the artists while touring the creative environments in which the artwork is produced. The weekend-long event also provides a great opportunity to sample many of this historic neighborhood’s restaurants, cafes, pubs, and retail shops.
Numerous disciplines will be represented throughout the dozens of participants, including: sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking, installation, photography, video, jewelry, ceramics, woodworking, fabric and performance art. Much of the work will be in-process and the artists will be on hand for questions and conversations. Participating organizations and galleries include The Distillery artists building (which will showcase two galleries and over 40 artists) located at 516 East 2nd Street, and the studios at King Terminal (just a few blocks away) right next to the intersection of E 1st & Summer Street.
The event is free to the public, rain or shine, noon to 6pm each day. Public transportation is easy, take the Red Line to Broadway and walk East, or take the #7 City Point bus from South Station to Elkins St. (#7 doesn’t run on Sundays).
