AVENUES OPEN STUDIOS The original idea for Avenues Open Studios was to provide a venue for artists of the Avenues neighborhood.
We discussed at length the difficulty faced by many artists of facing the inability to display and promote their work . In recent years many galleries have closed, many more restrict inclusion to those artists who are well-known, mainstream and profitable, leaving many artists with no avenue of expression.
Avenues Open Studios was therefore conceived to accommodate not only well known neighborhood artists, but neighborhood outsiders as well. Those artists who create experimental and unusual work, often without regard to perceived value...in short, artists who have been excluded from the usual “art” community. We welcome all painters, potters, sculptors, printers, photograpers, designers, conceptual artists, musicians, puppeteers, clowns, theater , dancers and anyone who wants to express their creativity.
Therefore, our statement of purpose includes:
No Judging No Censoring No Exclusion, and All Ages and All Disciplines Everyone Welcome
The Avenues neighborhood is well known as the city’s home to diversity. We are proud
of all our originality and inclusion of those who have felt left out .
