Studio Day

Studio Day began in 2004 is an extension of the school’s Museum Day tradition. In lieu of afternoon classes, students, faculty, and staff travel together to dozens of Boston-area artists’ studios where they have the chance to engage with the artists in person, view their work, and learn more about the creative process. Artists have included traditional painters, sculptors, and photographers, as well as conceptual artists, documentary filmmakers, clothing and jewelry designers, metalsmiths, print and brand designers, a violinmaker, and an internationally renowned ceramic sculptor. In 2008, the CA community visited the Distillery, the Fort Point Arts Community, and the design firm, Continuum in Boston; the Brickbottom Artists Association, Vernon Street Studios, Joy Street Artists Studios, and Miller Street Studios in Somerville; the Waltham Mills Artist Association; ArtSpace–Maynard; and Emerson Umbrella in Concord.
