The event at Cottage Street Studios presents a unique opportunity for the public to venture into the old 1850’s mill building, meet the artists, see where work is made, and in some cases view works in progress.  Many of the participating artists make a living selling primarily to galleries, so the open studios is a rare chance to peek inside the studios and see new and original one of a kind art.  In addition, many studios offer special prices and sales of work that usually can only be purchased in galleries or by appointment.
