Open Studio: aMUSE-ing Creativity
May 17, 2025 | 10:00 am–2:00 pm

Celebrate springtime with vibrant opportunities for artistic expression every weekend in May at Open Studio. Together we will explore how artists collaborate, build, and grow to redefine art across mediums and break artistic boundaries. We’ll also discover the work of groundbreaking artists including Hiroshi Sugimoto, OSGEMEOS, and Aliza Nisenbaum.
At this Saturday’s Open Studio, we’ll challenge you to find your family muse. We will explore collaborations between artist duo (and twin brothers) OSGEMEOS and their mother. Then, taking inspiration from colorfully patterned latch-hook rug artworks, we’ll experiment with creating our own textiles and wearables. Get ready to experiment with yarn, sequins, fabrics, and more to bring your own collaborative works of art to life!
Meet in the Art School on the Lower Level.
