UPDATED MONDAY, APRIL 1, 2020

To the Open Studio community,

The COVID-19 situation continues to evolve and in alignment with the directives of the government and health authorities, Open Studio will not be reopening on April 7 as initially planned. It is not easy for us to predict how long our physical space/studio will remain closed, and we will reopen as soon as it is safe and possible to do so.

Together Apart – Thank You

Thank you to our community of artists, board members, staff, volunteers, partners, collaborators, donors and sponsors. We miss seeing you and we cannot wait to be back in our studio space. We are so thankful for your support and hope you are staying healthy and safe.

Staying Connected

During these changing times we are working collectively to support our community of artists and looking to spread some positivity.

We encourage you to follow our social media channels, especially Instagram, to view posts showcasing artists’ work, stories and more. We will be including additional digital content about our latest scheduled exhibitions (March – May):
