Open Studio Weekend: 2010
Over 900 visitors came downtown for the 2010 Workspace Open Studio Weekend as we opened the studios of our 20 visual artists and 9 writers to the public for one weekend only. In addition to a Friday night opening reception and two days of open hours in the studios, we hosted Open Texts, a fantastic evening of readings and performances from our writers-in-residence. Changing what it means to work in the Financial District, Workspace serves artists and writers working in all media from painting to video, sculpture to photography, poetry to playwriting in unique spaces generously donated by the downtown real estate community. The weekend saw visitors from major museums, non-profit arts and literary organizations, publishers, and galleries among many others.
