The 12th annual Needham Open Studios Tour will be held on Saturday, May 1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sunday, May 2 from Noon to 4 p.m. Once again local artists welcome the public into their homes and studios. This year over 50 artists will be showing their paintings, pottery, printmaking, jewelry, leatherwork, origami, sculpture, photography, mosaics, glassblowing, decorative objects and more in over 20 locations around Needham.

The Art Emporium Gallery on Chestnut Street hosts the Needham Art Association's Spring Show for the month of April and through the tour weekend.
