Sponsorship Opportunities – Somerville Open Studios 2025

Many thanks to our 2024 sponsors, who can still be found on our home page. SOS is enormously grateful for their support!

As an independent non-profit organization, we remain one of the few Open Studios run entirely by volunteer-artists. As such, sponsoring partners play a critical role in the success of SOS, helping us cover costs ranging from securing venues to providing free trolleys around the city throughout SOS weekend on May 3rd and 4th.

Partner sponsors will be featured in SOS printed event maps as well as our website, encouraging attendees to support your business as they travel among studios and building affinity for your brand as a supporter of the arts and of the Somerville community.

We offer a 20% discount for nonprofits and for businesses or organizations that register as a participating artist (or arrange to showcase another local artist or mount a group show) for our 2025 open studios event. If you would like to consider being an SOS partner for 2025, please contact sponsorship@somervilleopenstudios.org and we will be in touch.
