SoWa Art Walk
Saturday May 16, 2009 - Sunday May 17, 2009 from 11:00am - 6:00pm
SOWA Building
450 Harrison Avenue
Boston, Massachusetts 02118 Get Directions
The SoWa Art Walk is held every spring in the SoWa (South of Washington Street) neighborhood in Boston’s South End. A former mill building district where pianos, canned goods, shoes and other merchandise were made in the 19th century, the district has been home to artists’ studios carved out of the old factories for the last fifty years. Today, the artists have been joined by art galleries, creative businesses, cutting edge restaurants and residential loft buildings.

The SoWa Art Walk takes place in late May each year and is a weekend-long standing invitation to visit the artists in their studios. This year, the SoWa Art Walk will occur on Saturday and Sunday May 16-17, 2009 from 11:00am to 6:00pm. Creative stores, cafes, boutiques and some of the city’s finest restaurants take part in the SoWa Art Walk by opening their doors all weekend, hosting artists who display on their walls and offering special event discounts. The SoWa Open Market, an open-air venue for artists, craftsmen, collectioners, farmstands and other vendors makes its seasonal debut each year in tandem with the SoWa Art Walk. www.southendopenmarket.com

This year, the SoWa Open Market will be joined by the Grand Opening of the new SoWa Antiques Market where over fifty antiques vendors will display in the fabled Power Station at 540 Harrison Avenue. www.SoWaAntiquesmarket.com

Come stroll through one of Boston’s most vibrant and creative neighborhoods on a spring weekend and you’ll be sure to find a painting, original design/make clothing, a set of antique china … or brunch and plenty of atmosphere!
