Come On In.
Western Avenue has 250 artist studios and about half open for each First Saturday event. Additionally, 5 – 10 live/work lofts may be open. First Saturday events ranged from Art Markets, themed events, and twice yearly Open Studios which are a two day event (Saturday and Sunday). Enjoy a variety of foods from local food trucks and beverages from Tiny Arms Coffee and Navigation Brewing. The Loading Dock Gallery hosts their new show opening from 3-5 pm on the First Saturday as well. Check our blog for an up to date post and list of participating artists.
You can stroll the Studios buildings any weekdays from 9:30am until 4:30pm, and on the weekends on Saturday from 9am – 5:30pm, and on Sunday from 9am – 4pm. While we never know who will be working in their studio – almost all of the artists exhibit their work on the walls outside their studio. Check them out and make an appointment directly with artists whose work you are interested in.
Our Open Studios.
Anywhere from two dozen to over 100 studios, and 5 – 10 lofts may be open from 12:00 – 5:00pm. Throughout the year workshops happen during open studios, and local organization will make an appearance on our loading dock. Enjoy a variety of foods from local food trucks and beverages from Navigation Brewing. The Loading Dock Gallery hosts their new show opening after the Open Studios.
Additional Open Studios days and special events, like Final Fridays on the First Floor, happen year-round. Workshops for artists are hosted by Loading Dock Arts Inc. throughout the year.
