Become A Sponsor
SOS happens solely through the efforts of volunteer artists. The majority of our support comes from the artists themselves in the form of registration fees and generous donations of time and effort to make SOS a reality.
By becoming a Somerville Open Studios sponsor, you’ll say that you support the arts in Somerville and most importantly be making a statement that the arts are important to cultural and economic development in this time of shrinking public-sector support. All funds raised go directly towards expenses such as publicity, printing, and mailing costs.
