Roslindale Open Studios is an exciting weekend event offering artists and the public a chance to connect with each other in a comfortable community setting. Local artists open the doors to their workplaces and homes; businesses and restaurants host shows and events; and we welcome out-of-town artists at a large Group Show in Roslindale Village. If you have an interest in the arts or fine crafts—whether as a serious collector or a curious admirer—you can meet our participants, learn about how and where they work, and purchase distinctive items at a fraction of gallery or retail costs. If you just want to look around and explore, that’s great too. The goal of Roslindale Open Studios is to make art accessible, and to offer you a fun afternoon in our neighborhood. Want to know what all the ‘Rozzie’ buzz is about? Come for the day and find out. Shop with our sponsoring merchants, and eat at one of our great restaurants. |
