South End Open Studios Weekend!

Which means that we’re open both Saturday and Sunday with extended hours: 10 to 6 both days. Which is great for you, because there’s a LOT to see and do this weekend…

Musicians:
On Saturday, Alley Blues plays at 500 Harrison and Eric Jason Newell is at 540 Harrison from 12 to 2pm. Monkey Rock takes the 2 to 5pm spot at both locations, featuring: Nini & Ben & Tamsin Wilson & Megan Lui & Jordan Tarrant & Johnny Nicholson & Russell Lacy

Sunday has Mariana Iranzi from 12 to 2 at 500 Harrison and The Brooklyns at 540 Harrison from 2 to 4pm. Monkey Rock has Thayer Street on Sunday from 2 to 5pm with: Alex Weed & Black Kettle

Okay, so obviously the Markets are up and running all weekend. But, the fun thing about Open Studios is meeting all the artists and seeing their new work…

And on Sunday, September 20th Washington Gateway hosts It’s A Dog’s Life at 1313 Washington Street…

Bark Place and Washington Gateway Main Street present “It’s a Dog’s Life” on Sunday, September 20, from noon to 4:00 p.m. at 1313 Washington St. Bring your family and your dog for agility events, doggie massage, free samples, portraits with you and your dog and much more. For more information, call 617.542.1234. Visit us and also check out the Open Studios and Open Markets that day.

**Monkey Rock is super cool! In their own words: “Monkey Rock is a community comprised of artists and friends from all over the world who support each other by promoting, and performing as a group. Monkey Rock hosts a weekly ‘Writer’s Circle’ at All Asia (334 Mass. Ave, Cambridge, MA) from 6-9pm on Wednesdays where members and friends of the Monkey Rock, Berklee, and Greater Boston communities come to listen and play.”

The Berkshires come to Boston!

We’re baaaaack, and super excited for autumn in the city!

This Sunday, an amazing group of artists and crafters from the Berkshires makes the long, twisting journey down the Mohawk Trail to Boston. Over 20 artisans from Berkshire Made join the ever changing ranks of SoWa Open Market vendors.
