Open Studios
Join us in supporting Waltham Open Studios
Waltham is home to a robust artist community, with dozens of painters, sculptors, photographers and artisans who have made their homes and studios in a group of buildings clustered around the Moody Street Bridge. Once a year, usually on the first weekend in November, they fling open their doors and welcome in the world for Waltham Open Studios. It’s one of our city’s cultural crown jewels. And it needs help.
This year, The Waltham Times is supporting Waltham Open Studios through a joint fundraiser. As a nonprofit, the Times can accept donations that are tax deductible. Gifts made directly to WOS, which is not a nonprofit, are not tax deductible, but a gift to the Times, with a portion allocated to the Waltham Open Studios fund, is fully tax deductible. The Times will then make a grant to WOS from the fund.
The funds raised will help WOS head into 2026, its 50th year, on a sound footing. The money will enable WOS to add exhibit spaces, create a 50th anniversary event, expand outreach to Waltham public school students, improve website capabilities, replace outdated signage and increase the marketing budget to attract more visitors.
