Open Studios Set for May 11 & 12

Town of Danville sponsors tour of local artists’ spaces

 Spend Mother’s Day weekend touring the creative spaces of several working artists, as the Town of Danville sponsors a two-day Artists’ Open Studios event.    

This FREE event is set for May 11-12, 2019.  From 11:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Saturday and 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Sunday, the public will be able to visit artists’ studios throughout Danville, view their work, and get a sneak peek into the artists’ creative process. 

Members of the public will be able to view the artists’ work and obtain maps that will indicate the studios they can visit in Danville. This is a self-guided tour which interested community members can conduct at their own pace. Maps will be available for pick-up at the Village Theatre & Art Gallery, 233 Front Street.  Locations will be clearly indicated on the maps provided as well as by signs prominently displayed outside each location. 

The Opening Reception for Artists’ Open Studios will be held on May 9,  2019, from 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Those in attendance will  get a sneak peek into the Town of Danville’s first public art project, Dogs of Danville, before the dogs head Downtown. The Opening Reception is being held in conjunction with Danville’s Doggie Night, so be sure to bring your pets down and head to Molly’s Pup-Purr-ee, 425 Hartz Avenue for some dog treats.
