This coming weekend, local artists will open their studios and workshops all over the city to the public during the 20th annual Somerville Open Studios (SOS).

SOS will take place this Saturday and Sunday, May 5 and 6, from 12:00 to 6:00 p.m. Organized by the non-profit organization of the same name, over 360 artists will be participating in the admission-free event. Additionally, on Friday, May 4, some artists will open their studios as a preview of the event from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.

This year’s event will be coordinated by Ellien Laramee-Byers, a photographer, illustrator, and part of the Somerville-based Mad Oyster Studios.

Somerville Open Studios (SOS) is a non-profit organization formed for the purpose of producing an annual open studio and related events in Somerville, Massachusetts.

Through its programming, SOS gives access to the work of visual artists living and working in the city of Somerville. It provides opportunities to view art made within the community; to interact with local artists; and to have access to artists’ working spaces. The goal is to broaden the public’s exposure to, and appreciation of, finished works of art as well as the art-making process. This exposure both educates the community and raises awareness of the diverse artistic experience available in Somerville.
