Open Studios

It's hard to believe that another year has passed, but once again it's open studios weekend at the Fountain Street Studios in Framingham. I find that the most intriguing artists seem to come and go far too quickly there, never to be seen again, but that doesn't mean I won't be paying a visit to see all the current residents. When you work solo and not within a physical art community, there's nothing quite like the rush of being among a large group of artists exhibiting their work and seeing their studio spaces, smelling their paint and feeling their vibes. Vincent knew the value of being a part of an artist community, and even though it never happened for him in his lifetime, he understood how essential that connection is for an artist. It may be open just a few short hours, but being there is always a guaranteed boost to my creativity and I'm looking forward to it.
