ArtsWestCT has coordinated with Westville Village Renaissance Association, The Institute Library, and artists at Erector Square and the Marlin Building to print a coordinated map and calendar for the whole month showing when and where all the studios will be open. Maps are available at each of these sites while supplies last. All hours, artists, etc. are subject to change.

In addition, the Ora Mason Library has very kindly agreed to host a Sneak Peek show for West Haven Open Studios, on view during regular library hours through November 30, 2024. And ten of our West Haven Open Studios Artists are participating in a representative show called Glorious Index at the Institute Library in New Haven on view in the upstairs gallery through December 14, 2024.

As we work towards a coordinated area calendar of events, here are some of the most reliable ways to learn about all that’s going on!
