This always fun event lets you live out your I’m-majoring-in-art-no-matter-what-Dad-says dreams by touring the creative, inventive spaces where UW students get to make their art. More than 50 studios will be open with students hanging out and maybe very casually selling some work. It’s more about seeing the spaces, though, and there will be demos at the headquarters of several of the media that the department specializes in — if you are lucky, glassblowing and printmaking will be among them. Plus, this could be one of your last chances to see the studios on the 6th and 7th floors in Humanities, the classic of Brutalist architecture that the university keeps threatening to tear down — and probably will. The Art Lofts are at 111 N. Frances St. at the side of the Kohl Center. Humanities is at the corner of University and Park.
media release: Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 2, from 12 to 5pm as we host our Annual Open Studio Day 2024. Over 50 artist studios will be open at this annual autumn arts celebration event! Meet our student artists, see their work, and get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of our classrooms and studios of the Art Lofts and Humanities Building 6th and 7th floors. This event will also include a variety of demonstrations in different media labs, self-guided tours throughout our two art buildings, and a guided tour by one of our Academic Advisors from 1 to 3pm.
