Vernon Street Studios

Vernon Street Studios is a community well known throughout the area for the quality of work produced by artists with established reputations as well as exciting newcomers. Located in an historic 19th-century brick industrial building, Vernon Street housed the first group of artists in Somerville to open their studios to the public in 1974. Open Studios allows attendees to learn about the creative process, interact with artists in the spaces where they create, purchase original artwork, and discover new talent.

Artists at Vernon Street Studios welcome the public into their workspaces at 6 & 20 Vernon Street at two different times each year: in early May as part of Somerville Open Studios, and every other year (even years) in early December for Vernon Street Open Studios.
