Take a peek into the studios of artists who create their works at Brickbottom Artists’ Building this coming weekend.

By Rebecca Danvers

Brickbottom Artists’ Building will host its 29th annual Open Studios – one of the oldest open studio events in Somerville – on November 19 and 20 from 12:00 – 6:00 p.m. each day.

More than 60 artists will open their live-work studios to the public, showing and selling work in a wide variety of media and formats.

A block away, the 50+ artists of Joy Street Studios will open their doors as well, many offering demonstrations of their methods and working techniques.

The Open Studios event is a great opportunity to talk with real working artists and to start or grow an art collection. There are works of all kinds for sale, in every price range.

Brickbottom Artists’ Building is located at 1 Fitchburg St. in Somerville. You can find more information about the Association and the Open Studios event on their website at http://brickbottomartists.com/open_studios_info. They can also be reached by phone at 617-776-3410.
