Volunteer with Somerville Open Studios

Somerville Open Studios is a volunteer run organization. Our volunteers come from all over Somerville and beyond.

Artists, art lovers, supporters, and friends come together to create something bigger than any one of us could make on our own. Join us! You can help!

Sign up below and mark the team(s) you might like to join. Our team leaders will contact you with more information.

A comprehensive list of the 2013 SOS Volunteer Team Leaders can be found on our "About" page.
