SOS 2016 Group Exhibits

2016 Artists' Choice Show
At the Somerville Museum

All Somerville Open Studios 2016 member artists will be invited to take part in this group show at the Somerville Museum. Each year we hear extensive feedback that visitors chose which studios to go see based in part on the work in the Artists' Choice Show. The opening reception provides a great opportunity to meet other artists and see each other's work. It's one of our largest social events of the year.
