It’s Friday, and you know what that means — the weekend has officially begun! But this isn’t just any weekend. It’s the third weekend in October, which means one thing for Fort Point: it’s time for the 45th Annual Fort Point Open Studios, hosted by incredible artists and the Fort Point Arts Community (FPAC).
If you’ve lived or worked in Fort Point for a while, you know this is one of the city’s most beloved art traditions — a celebration of creativity, community, and the over 150 artists who make this neighborhood so vibrant. If you’re new to the area, get ready to experience art in studios, galleries, outdoor installations, performances and activities on both sides of the Fort Point Channel.
And the best part? It’s free — until you fall in love with a piece of art you just have to take home.
