For the third consecutive year, Firefly is participating in Somerville Open Studios! We’re looking to share the art created by our community with the city of Somerville in a gallery setting. We've got a sweet new location within spitting distance of the Davis Square T Stop, but we need YOUR help to make this event happen!
Why Participate?
- Somerville Open Studios supports the mission of Firefly Arts Collective “to foster a collaborative environment and community for participatory arts, encouraging people to express their creativity, and challenging them to extend their concept of both community and art”.
- Be proud to be Firefly and share what we create individually and together.
- Gain exposure and promote yourself as an artist (for free!).
- Excellent testing ground for interactive / participatory art projects — whether your project is in progress, completed, or being fine tuned.
- The annual open studios is the most accessible Firefly event for new Fireflies! Meet old and new Fireflies and participate in an active community.
How Can I Participate?
- Bring what you love and share it with others!
- Volunteer to make this effort a reality.
- Bring or perform your art — this is a great chance to share the other creative things you do year round, whether it’s been shared in the woods or not!
- Spread the word! Link to this page, talk it up with your friends! Take photos at the event!
- If you’ve received an art grant — bring your work! We’d love to showcase the kinds of art that Firefly supports. Even if it’s not complete — bring your work in progress and talk about it! Open Studios is a great time to show off the nuts and bolts of how pieces work.
