The 27th Annual
SOMERVILLE OPEN STUDIOS
May 2 – 3, 2026 / 12 – 6 pm
Explore artists’ studios and meet more than 430 visual artists living and working in Somerville during our annual open studio weekend and other events.
Thank you!
SOS 2026 is now over. Thanks for another great year!
This year, more than 430 artists opened their studios during the weekend of May 2-3 at more than 120 locations across the city of Somerville. Thanks to all who attended!
While this year’s open studios are now past, our artist directory remains online throughout the year. The SOS artist directory is the number one source for finding Somerville-based visual artists.

One Day Art School
Thursday, July 30, 2026: 6-10 pm
Free tickets are for 6-8 pm or 8-10 pm
10 Prospect St., Union Square, Somerville
Wanted to go to art school but accidentally went to law school instead? Somerville is a city full of artists; be one of them for the night!
High above Union Square, a different kind of school is in session. Join us at 10 Prospect for One Night Art School, an immersive pop-up experience where your professors will be repping the Somerville Arts Engine, a collective of local arts organizations and businesses.
This is no passive lecture. Come draw a live model, add your mark to a community mural, sing along with the Strummerville Ukulele Club, or pinch a pot. Hop into an interactive podcasting experience, practice popping, or attend a Q&A with professional artists. Grab the open mic for some live comedy coaching, drop into a collage session, and experiment with color theory.
Come try a little bit of everything, no prerequisites required!
