Brickbottom Studios 31st annual open studios takes place this weekend, November 17 and 18.

Over 80 Brickbottom Artists Association members will show their work on November 17 and 18 at Brickbottom Studios 31st annual open studios. The occasion also marks the 30th anniversary of their building and artists’ association. A block away, the artists of Joy Street Studios will open their doors as well, many offering live demonstrations as they create new work.

The open studios event provides opportunities for visitors to talk with artists in their workspaces. The artists work in every medium and format: sculpture, painting, photography, fiber, 2D, 3D, virtual, experiential, and everything in between.

Visitors interested in starting or growing a collection of art by local artists will find work in every price range. Free performances throughout the buildings on both days add to the fun and offer more ways for visitors to engage with art and artists.
