And while I guess it's not technically an Arts Council event as such, it seems wrong not to mention Somerville Open Studios (http://www.somervilleopenstudios.org/) (May 4th and 5th) here.

Will you have any work on display this year?

Not unless you want to count toting Little Bear around to see other people's artwork. :)

Yeah, I know you've been a bit busy! I edited the post to add a link to SOS.

Oh, I forgot: I will have a small quilt in the volunteers' show at Bloc 11.
