The West Medford Open Studios committee is looking for visual artists, performing artists and writers to participate in the WMOS art show that will take place on May 16 & 17, 2015. WMOS is a celebration of the arts that features visual work as well as live performances by local writers and musicians. The committee is seeking local and non-local artists to register to participate by the February 4, 2015 deadline. Online registration and more information is available on the website at www.wmos.org.
Using homes, artists studios, and community spaces throughout West Medford, WMOS provides artists with a venue to show and sell their work in 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 from several local businesses.
In 2014 there were over 70 participants including visual artists, writers, student artists, and musicians. This year the WMOS committee plans to feature even more performing artists as part of the weekends events.
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.
