Hull Artists, a regional arts association of more than 175 fine artists and craft artisans, presents its 30th Open Studios over two upcoming weekends – July 18-19, and August 29-30 – both from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

HA’s signature event features almost three dozen local artists at 24 community locations and private home studios, where visitors can experience their work up close and meet the artists. This fun, family-friendly event offers plenty of parking.

“We are pleased to continue to host Open Studios, which is the highlight of the summer art calendar in the area,” said Hull Artists Present Bart Blumberg. “As one of the largest South Shore Open Studios, HA’s signature event draws more than 1,000 visitors each year who delight in exploring Hull’s remarkable and varied neighborhoods, unparalleled ocean vistas, and the local retail and restaurant community. Even if you’ve visited Open Studios in past years, several artists are new to the event this year.”

Downloadable listings of exhibiting artists and maps of their locations are available at HullArtists.com/OpenStudios. Printed material is also available at many businesses around Hull, including Hull Artists’ Gallery Nantasket at 121 Nantasket Avenue, on the ground floor of the Ocean Place Condominiums. A must-visit location, this five-time “Best of the South Shore” awarded retail art gallery exhibits a full range of fine artworks, including painting media (oil, acrylic, watercolor), pastels, pencil drawings, photography, as well as artisan-crafted jewelry, fiber and fabric arts, clothing, pottery, woodcraft, cards, and more. Friendly, knowledgeable gallery staff can help visitors organize their own “tour” of the many Open Studios locations throughout the beautiful seaside community of Hull. The gallery’s hours are Wednesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
