Needham Open Studios is an annual weekend event of artists and craftspeople in Needham, MA opening th Come see a world of art from the inside!

The artists of Needham Open Studios represent a diverse and accomplished group who work in a wide variety of media and styles - but each has a unique creative vision. Over 50 artists are exhibiting during NOS this year, and among them they have exhibited in countless solo and group shows including many juried shows, as well as galleries and museums across the country. They have been featured in ma

gazines and published in books. They hold advanced degrees in a variety of art specializations and have taught at every level from elementary school, to colleges of art, to adult workshops. They have won awards from art associations, galleries, and exhibitions. Some are full-time professional artists while others work at their art part-time while holding down a variety of other jobs... but every one has a commitment to creativity and craftsmanship. We invite you to see for yourself the incredible wealth and breadth of art being created right here in Needham. Needham Open Studios is a unique opportunity to meet these artists in person, see how they work, talk with them about their techniques and creative processes, and take home a piece of original art from the hand of the one who made it. You won't want to limit yourself to only one or two locations or artists when there is so much variety to see.
