Coming soon! October 18 and 19

The Natick Art Association is excited to invite residents to participate in its time-honored tradition of Natick Artists Open Studios. The twenty-third offering of this town-wide event will take place on Saturday and Sunday, October 18-19 from 11am-5pm both days.

More than four dozen artists working in a broad array of artistic media will welcome visitors into their studios and showrooms. The artists will be showing at multiple group sites in Natick Center as well as at several sites in neighborhoods all around town, spanning from North Natick to South Natick.

The event offers attendees the opportunity to meet artists and speak with them about their work and artistic processes as well as to buy art directly from the artists. Some locations will offer demonstrations, and most locations will have refreshments available.

Natick center locations will include show spaces at 3 Adams Street, 8 Court Street, and, new this year, 21 Summer Street. The Summer Street location will host up to two dozen creatives including jewelry makers, potters, painters, photographers, mixed media artists, and woodworkers. Among the many exhibiting artists are jewelry maker Debra Sayre, sterling silver craftsman John Holz, woodworkers Laurie Adelstein and Stephen Strout, and painter Jason Cheeseman-Meyer. Jason won awards in 2024 for works exhibited at the Danforth Art Museum and the Duxbury Art Complex.

Longtime Open Studios participant, painter Barbara Levine, will also display her work at 21 Summer Street. Barbara recently had works juried into two shows sponsored by the Rockport Art Association.

Artists at the studios at 3 Adams Street will include jewelry maker Jo LaFalce, mixed media artist and watercolorist Ginger McEachern, fiber artist Helen Bellomo, potter Martha Gold, multi-media artist and community art project leader Denise Girardin, photographers Conrad Gees and Diane Gray, and painter Carolyn Williams. 

A fixture in Natick’s arts scene, the well-known mosaic artist Carol Krentzman will be showing downtown at 20 Main Street. Painter Marilyn Kahn and her son, the photographer and longtime open studios participant David Kahn, will display at 8 Court Street, which is the office for the Natick Center Cultural District.

There are many solo neighborhood art studios on this fall’s roster. New this year, clay artist Sarah Fuhro who takes her inspiration from nature, mythology, and zoology, will greet visitors at 8 Abbott Road in North Natick. Closer to Natick center, multimedia artist Kim Silvestri will show at 14 Reynolds Ave. Also new to this year’s tour, fiber and recycled material artist, Rebecca McGee Tuck will be opening her showroom to visitors at 110 Woodland Street in South Natick. Rebecca is presently finishing her MFA at Clark University and recently had work juried into the 89th Exhibition of Art and Craft at the Fitchburg Art Museum.

Returning neighborhood studio artists in South Natick include painter Ryan Black at 203 Union Street, who also regularly shows his work through the Page Waterman Gallery, and painter Julianne Strom Brill whose studio is near Ryan’s at 199 Union Street.

Another of Natick’s Open Studios’ longest participants, ceramic artist Suzanne Stumpf, will welcome visitors at her historic barn showroom at 62 Farwell Street in South Natick. A widely acclaimed ceramic sculptor and potter, Suzanne’s 2025 accolades include prizes at The State of Clay exhibition sponsored by the Lexington Art Association and the Winter Show of the Duxbury Art Association. Her works were also included at juried exhibitions sponsored by the Cambridge Art Association and Danforth Museum.
