Our Open Studios.
Western Avenue has 250 artist studios and about half open for each Open Studios, as well as 5 – 10 live/work lofts may be open. Artists host a variety of demos and workshops during Open Studios, and a changing roster of pop-ups 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. Check our blog for an up to date post on each Open Studio.
Additional Open Studios days and special events, like Final Fridays on the First Floor, happen year-round. Lectures for artists are hosted by Loading Dock Arts Inc. throughout the year.
You can stroll the Studios buildings any weekdays from 9am until 4:30pm, and on the weekends during Gallery hours: Saturday from 12 – 5:30pm, and Sunday 12 – 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.
