Brickbottom Open Studios 2025 will be held, as always, on the weekend before Thanksgiving, November 22-23, noon-6 PM. 

VISITORS: For information on attending this event, we’ll have more info for you as the date approaches.

PARTICIPANTS: Please read this CAREFULLY before clicking the “Register” button at the bottom:

BAA MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED: All registrants MUST be a current BAA member. To sign up for or renew BAA membership, go to https://brickbottom.org/membership/ 

REGISTRATION ($100) DEADLINE: SEPT. 15.  After that, there is a $25 late fee. Also, you might not be listed on the printed Participants Directory, and you may miss important announcements regarding the gallery drop-off dates. 

INVITATIONS: All participants will receive 25 printed cards by the start of November; you can request more. You will receive an electronic invitation for e-mailing or posting to social media networks. 

WEBSITE: Brickbottom.org will list all participating artists and will link to their own websites. Please make sure your website functions.

RESIDENT ARTISTS: OS participants may display their work in the halls near their studios. Please do not hang work in areas marked “reserved”. DO NOT post signs pointing the way to your individual studio. We will post generic “more art” arrow signs directing traffic to ALL studios. 

AFFILIATE (NON-RESIDENT) ARTISTS: We will try to find a host or a space to show for everyone. If you have shown here before, contact the resident who hosted you previously. There are limited public spaces throughout all 3 buildings and the courtyard and will be assigned on a “first come, first serve” basis. If we cannot find a space for you, your registration fee will be refunded. Please make yourself or your contact info available throughout the entire OS event (Sat/Sun 12-6 PM). Neither the BAA nor the Trust is responsible for lost or damaged work exhibited by any artist. If you have your own display and lighting system, you may be able to use them. 

TASKS and PUBLICITY: This event is only as successful as we make it! Every year, fewer than half the attendees are first-timers who heard our radio ads or saw our print ads. PLEASE help us out by posting this event to your social media networks. “Friend” our “Brickbottom Artists Association” Facebook page and post pictures there to create a buzz in advance.  Each exhibitor is strongly encouraged to sign up for one task here: BBOS Nov 22-23, 2025, Task Sign up 

DIRECTORY EXHIBIT: Visitors can see one sample piece from each artist at Open Studios in the Brickbottom Gallery so they can choose whom to visit. Drop-off and pick-up times will be announced via email, so if you register late, you may miss important deadlines.  Make sure we have your correct e-mail address.

On behalf of the Open Studios Committee, The BAA Board and the Gallery Director, we thank you!!!
