Third Thursday: Open Studios

May 16th: 5pm-8pm

Say goodbye to Art on Tap and get ready for Third Thursday Open Studios at The Generator! (But for real, where have the taps been?!) 

If you are a local artist or creator looking for an opportunity to showcase your work, Third Thursday Open Studio is your chance! This event is open to anyone from the local community who wants to sell their handmade art! 

With no booth fees and The Generator handling payment transactions, we want to make this an inclusive opportunity for all artists who want to get their art out there. 

Let us know you’re coming to vend by filling out the short vendor form, and start getting your booth supplies ready for Third Thursday Open Studio! Vendors must bring their own tables and chairs. Studio Artists are welcome to vend from their studio or within the general events area.

Members of the public, we invite you to join us on one of these special events to shop the fantastic array of vendors, walk through the gallery show, explore The Generator Community Makerspace, and connect with amazing new people who share a passion for art and creativity. 

Mark your calendars and spread the word!

See you There!
