Come celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Vernon Street Open Studios at the Somerville Museum.

By Rebecca Danvers

It’s hard to believe that Vernon Street Open Studios has been a Somerville institution for 40 years, but it has and a celebration is set for the next few weeks that will shine a light on this dynamic center of creativity.
A special exhibit highlighting Vernon Street will be in place at the Somerville Museum through mid-December, featuring the works of the studio’s artists, past and present.

An opening reception for the exhibit, which will run until December 20, is set for this coming Friday, November 14, at the Somerville Museum, 1 Westwood Road, 7–9 p.m.

The museum hours during the exhibit will be Saturdays 12:00-5:00, Thursdays, 2:00-7:00, Fridays, 2:00-5:00 through December 20. The museum will be closed on Thanksgiving Day.

The artists represented at the exhibit are also invited to participate in Vernon Street Open Studios on December 6 and 7.
