The East Boston
Artists Group (EBAG), organizers of the event, is a volunteer
organization made up of artists living and working in East Boston.
Started in 2001, the group now consists of over forty members and
has sponsored nine previous Open Studios events and numerous art
exhibitions throughout the East Boston neighborhood.
This year’s Open Studios is also a fundraiser for the Friends of the
East Boston Library’s art restoration campaign. Donations will be
accepted to fund the restoration of four of the Frederick Leonard
King paintings from the 1935 WPA series "Ships through the Ages".
Please visit studios 121, 212 and 313 at 80 Border Street for more
