2025 Artist Information

SOS has issued a Call for Art for a juried show called “When You Know Your Neighbor”, to be hung at 50 Prospect Street in Union Square during the summer and early fall of 2025.

This exhibition will highlight personal interpretations of neighborhood and kinship, both visible and hidden.

The deadline for submission is Saturday, June 7, 2025. The show is open to any artist who has been a member of SOS in any year since 2020.

This exhibit at Narrative Bookshop will showcase the transporting power of written & spoken narratives, translated into visual forms of alternate worlds created by Somerville artists. This show will be open to a variety of works, including large and small 2D artwork, as well as sculpture and hanging works. Submission deadline is Saturday, April 5.

This year we celebrate Sustenance with a small works show at Neighborhood Produce in Ball Square. Work will be seen through the corner window at the intersection of Broadway and Boston Ave. Your interpretation of “sustenance” may be literal or symbolic, representational or abstract, painted, drawn, sculpted, photographic or multi-media. Submissions should not exceed 12” x 12” x 12” since the space is small. Submission deadline: Thursday, April 10, 2025.

The SOS 2025 First Look Exhibit will take place at the Somerville Museum from April 24 to May 17. All SOS member artists are eligible to submit a single piece. See the complete call for more details. Drop-off dates are March 26, April 6, and April 8.

SOS and the Somerville Arts Council are looking for art on the theme of “Flourish” for the Inside-Out Gallery, in the windows of the Davis Square CVS. We ask applicants to explore ways the art can thrive, grow, bloom, or attract attention. Deadline for submissions is Sunday, March 30.
