While Cambridge Open Studios is just starting registration, Somerville’s Vernon Street Studios are in the home stretch for their own gala. From November 30 to December 2, Vernon Street’s Open Studios will showcase works by more than 70 of the ‘Ville’s best artists alongside photography classes, an art raffle, and much more. At 11:30am on Sunday, December 2, Vernon Street will cement its committment to public art with the dedication of nine new murals on Center Street.

On the Vernon Street website, you can see some of the works that will be exhibited in just a few weeks, and you can also find a list of individual studios’ hours. More than 100 people have already RSVP’d on Facebook, and it’s sure to be a blast. Stop by, chat with your neighbors, maybe buy a piece as a Christmas gift to someone special, and help Vernon Street Studios celebrate Somerville’s thriving arts community.
