Somerville Open Studios this weekend

[ron_newman]

Somerville Open Studios are this weekend -- Saturday and Sunday, May 6 and 7, from noon to 6 pm.

This has become a such a huge and sprawling event that it's no longer possible to even think of trying to visit more than half of it. (343 artists! 100 locations! A 16-page map and guide!) So look up people you know, or just find a few neighborhoods to wander around. You'll have a good time.

Are any LJers exhibiting this year?

I'm not (yet), but do you know where I could score one of the maps? Last year they were all over the place, but this year I checked the usual spots in Davis (bookstore, Diesel) and they had none. I need one--can't just wander around checking to see if there's studios in a building.

I've seen outdoor racks with the maps. But if you can't find one, you can probably pick one up at the first site you visit (for instance, Ciampa Manor).

Meanwhile, I suggest either downloading the map from the SOS web site (wholly or in pieces), or using their interactive Google map.

I believe Blue Cloud Gallery in Ball Square has them.
