West Medford Open Studios committee is looking for artists to participate in the annual WMOS art show that will take place this year on May 10&11, 2008. The committee is seeking local and non-local artists working in a wide variety of media to submit applications by the February 15, 2008 deadline.

WMOS is a show that features visual work as well as live original readings by local writers and musical performances. Applications are available on the website at www.wmos.org.

Using homes and community spaces throughout West Medford, WMOS has provided artists with a venue to show and share their work with the community. Visitors are provided with free maps to all the sites and events of the weekend. The maps will be available on the website and throughout the community.

West Medford Open Studios weekend has always received the highest amount of praise from those who have previously participated. As one artist commented, “As an artist, participating in West Medford Open Studios has been a wonderful way for me to get to know my neighbors and really feel a part of the West Medford community.”

West Medford Open Studios is a non-profit organization and is supported by the artists that are in involved in this program, a grant from the Medford Arts Council, friends of WMOS and local businesses.
