Open Studios is an annual event that invites the public into the creative spaces of the renowned artist studios at 52 O Street. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore artists’ work spaces, meet a wide variety of artists and arts professionals from a range of backgrounds and disciplines, and to see and purchase artists’ most recent works fresh from the site of creation. Additionally, visitors will enjoy film screenings, a bike clinic, the store at SCRAP-DC, food from local restaurants and vendors, and more events to be announced.
Since its inception as affordable artist studio space in 1978, 52 O Street has been an integral part of the DC arts community. The building provides both living space and creative work space to visual artists, musicians, designers, writers, performers, and more. Conveniently located a short walk from the New York Avenue Station on the Red Line, 52 O Street is just west of North Capitol Street.
