2026 Open Studios

A day of art, family workshops and open studios. ArtsWestchester hosts a day of free art, workshops and open studios on Saturday, December 12, 2026, from 12-5PM. Gallery Exhibition | 12-5pm Explore ArtsWestchester’s current multi-media exhibition, World Builders in which artists explore the growing influence of artificial intelligence, generative technologies and surveillance capitalism on human and non-human worlds. The Janet Langsam Vault Project | 12-5pm Experience Pericón, a Cure for Ailments, an immersive, multisensory installation by artist Josué Morales Urbina. Inspired by ancient botanical wisdom and a contemporary longing for healing in a damaged world, the work creates an environment centered on medicinal herbs and their restorative potential. FAB Saturday Family Workshops | 12-2pm Learn, play and grow with us! Free hands-on art workshops will help children aged 5 to 12 explore and engage with themes from the gallery’s current exhibition. This month’s workshops include • Machine Garden Diorama Collage: Create a small standing scene that combines organic and mechanical forms using flowers, gears and wires to build a hybrid “machine garden.” • Screen Face Mask: Design a paper mask inspired by glowing screens and digital interfaces, using paper buttons, icons and other graphic elements for a tech-inspired look. Open Studios | 2-5pm ArtsWestchester’s historic nine-story building is home to a vibrant community of professional artists, including painters, sculptors, ballet dancers, and other creatives.
