Somerville Open Studios (SOS) is a non-profit organization formally established in 2004 for the purpose of producing an annual artists' open studio -- May 2 & May 3 in 2026! -- 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. We provide opportunities to view art made within the community, to interact with local artists, and to have access to artists’ working spaces. 

Our 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.

Somerville Open Studios is managed by a Board of Directors comprised of participating artists. An Open Studios executive committee is formed each year to organize the main event. This committee is assisted by many dedicated volunteers. New volunteers are always welcome. Please contact us if you would like to get involved!
