Somerville Open Studios: Last Look Show
June 5th – 27th, 2021
Due to the pandemic the Somerville Museum wasn’t able to host the annual “First Look Show” during April/May of this year. Instead, we’re collaborating with Somerville Open Studios (SOS) to offer a “Last Look Show” that showcases the local artists currently registered with SOS. This is a non-juried show and gives artists another opportunity to interact with the community.
Admission: Since this exhibition is sponsored by Somerville Open Studios, entrance is free and open to all. Donations to the Museum are always welcome!
