On May 8 and 9, 2010, the 11th Annual West Medford Opens Studios (WMOS) spotlights the   talents of over 70 artists at 29 sites in the neighborhood.  This two-day event allows the public to view the work of these 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 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.
