For forty years FPAC artists have welcomed visitors into their live-work studios annually to share the arts, industry, and creative culture of this unique community with the public. FPAC pioneered Boston’s original Open Studios event, Fort Point Open Studios, which has since been replicated in dozens of artist communities throughout the city.
Usually this means that in addition to meeting artists in their live-work studios, visitors to Fort Point can enjoy a weekend of music, performances, demonstrations, children’s art-making activities and public art installations, including our one-of-a-kind floating public art program.
This year, the coronavirus pandemic has presented us with new challenges in planning Open Studios. While it is our mission to support the artist community in Boston, FPAC is also responsible for making sure that our visitors, volunteers, staff, and members are in a safe environment during our programs. With that in mind Fort Point Open Studios will be conducted online in 2020.
