In-person registration will open on Wednesday, May 22, from 7 pm - 9 pm at Custom Art Framing 45 Central Street Norwood, MA 02062
Registration Information and Process:
Individual studio, shared studio, or private shared site artists may register beginning on May 22nd in-person or by mail. Form included at the end of this email.
Group Site: In-person group site registration process: (PLEASE NOTE: There is no reason to arrive early!)
In person group site registration is no longer a first come, first served process. From 7 pm - 7:30 pm, Wednesday, May 22nd, all artists who are in attendance will pull a random number out of a hat. This will determine your place in line for choosing your showing location. Artists arriving after 7:30 pm will also pull random numbers, but will select a site location in a second round of registration following completion of round 1 artists. Again, there is no benefit in arriving before 6:45 pm as random numbers will be pulled beginning at 7 pm! Early arrival will in no way affect your order of group site selection. Site selection will take place by random numbers pulled from a hat.
When registering for a group site, please be prepared to select your ideal location and provide your registration payment (payment can be made by cash, check, or credit card).
If you are unable to attend in-person, you may send a proxy to select your space or you may mail your registration to Norwood Open Studios 45 Central Street Norwood, MA 02062. ALL registrations that are mailed in will be recorded after the May 22nd in-person site selection is completed.
In person registrants can register themselves and one other artist only. Proxy's will be required to pull a second number to represent absentee artist. Proxy can only select one location per number drawn. They will need to get back in line according to the random number selection to complete the second registration.
Options for Showing Art During NOS:
Individual Studio, Shared Studios, Private Shared Site and Local Businesses
Artist showing in private spaces are required to register.
If the business location you are showing at is also a NOS sponsor, you still need to register. Sponsorship does not cover an artist's registration. If you do not register you will not be listed on the map or booklet.
Please contact us if you are looking to either open up your space to a fellow artist or are an artist looking for available space. While we can not guarantee placement in a private studio space, we are happy to help connect you with any spaces that we may know about.
