OPEN STUDIO Archives — Workman Arts

BEING SCENE Juried Exhibition, 2026. Photo by Henry Chan.

In 2025, we launched Open Studio Series as part of BEING SCENE to connect our member artists with curators and art professional across Toronto.

We strongly believe that such connections are essential to our community as we find solidarity in sharing our work with the larger community. On selected Thursday evenings, we will have a guest curator/art professional meeting with a group of 4-5 artists who participated in BEING SCENE juried exhibition this year.

The Open Studio format allows us to support our artists in a more relaxed setting, give them the space and time to speak about their practice with the visiting curator and the public.
