On April 28 + 29, 2012, the 13th annual West Medford Open Studios
(WMOS) will bring our neighborhood together for a weekend of art,
entertainment, and community. This two-day event allows the
public to view the work of over 70these artists and encourages a
dialogue among the artists, curious neighbors, and the broader public. A
diverse community of artists take part, including painters, sculptors,
photographers, writers, and musicians. You are welcome to see,
listen, and enjoy the work at artists' studios and at over two dozen
public sites – all free, no appointment needed.
West Medford Open Studios offers a special opportunity for visitors
to speak directly to artists about their own work. For adults, this
is a chance to broaden their knowledge of the creative process. For
younger folks, it is a chance to meet working artists living in their
midst, to ask questions about how an artist pursues his or her craft,
and to gain an appreciation for how art can enhance their lives. Many
of the artists are teachers as well, and all enjoy talking about their
work. Open Studios enriches the city by providing a cultural feast
to all who participate and bolsters support for the arts in Medford.
