The quaint and picturesque villages of Cornwall and West Cornwall, nestled along the scenic Housatonic River, are once again opening their doors—and their studios—to art lovers and curious visitors alike! On Saturday, August 30, from 1 PM to 5 PM, the community proudly presents the 19th Annual Artist Open Studio—a truly delightful and immersive experience that welcomes you into the creative spaces of some of the region’s most talented artists.
A beloved tradition, this Open Studio event beautifully showcases the vibrant and thriving arts scene that defines these charming villages. From fine art and photography to sculpture and mixed media, you’ll have the unique opportunity to interact directly with local artists, explore their studios, and get an inside look at their creative process. Whether you’re inspired by geometric sculptures, enchanted by handmade shoes, or drawn to the earthy beauty of pottery, there’s something here to capture every imagination.
A true highlight awaits at the Souterrain Gallery of the Wish House, where three amazing artists will be working on their latest creations. Meet Tina Puckett, an award-winning weaver of national and international acclaim, as she crafts her newest series of woven art. Visitors are even invited to help name Tina’s latest woven sculpture—adding an extra touch of creative fun to your visit!
Best of all, this event is free and open to the public—no tickets required! Just bring your curiosity, appreciation for the arts, and a sense of adventure. Whether you’re an art collector, a weekend traveler, or simply a lover of charming New England villages, this event promises a memorable afternoon filled with creativity, community, and inspiration.
