Open Studios

In its 17th year, the 60+ artists at historic Manufacturer's Village in East Orange welcome the public into the studios of professional painters, sculptors, woodworkers, quilters, designers, printmakers, photographers, multi-media artists & more. Art lovers will enjoy an opportunity to meet New Jersey artists in their creative spaces & browse through original art pieces on display and for sale.

The self-guided tour of open studios at Manufacturer's Village studios is a once-a-year opportunity. While there, the public will also be able to view the East Orange Community Black Lives Matter Mural, one of the state’s largest and most beautiful murals. Painted in the spring of 2021, this 9,000 square foot mural was created by 16 artists of color from the greater East Orange Community.  https://www.manufacturersvillageartists.com/openstudios
