May 24-25—VARIOUS LOCATIONS—Throughout Vermont, artists are preparing to welcome the public into their creative spaces for the annual Spring Open Studio Weekend. This statewide event invites visitors to explore studios, galleries, and art centers on scenic drives through town centers and rural backroads alike. The event, organized by the Vermont Crafts Council, runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, May 24 and 25.
Open Studio Weekend allows the public to meet artists where they work, surrounded by tools, materials, and works-in-progress, and gain firsthand insight into how handcrafted items are designed and made. The event also supports Vermont’s vibrant creative economy and offers the chance to purchase work with a story and connection behind it.
