Demonstration, conversation, imagination, inspiration - plus great Art! These are a few things you might experience during our open studios on Second Saturdays. Please join us for this unique opportunity to view works in progress and finished pieces.
On the second Saturday of each month a select group of our Water Street Studios resident artists will open their working studios so the public can explore their artistry. Come and see WSS in action!
Second Saturdays hours are 6-10 p.
Please join the featured artists for an evening of creativity, snacks and refreshments. Come and browse, linger over a cup of coffee, make it a date night!
Second Saturdays are always free and a great way to purchase art directly from the artist.
