2018 Cambridge Arts Open Studios Special Events
Women in Cambridge: Cambridge Arts Open Studios - Art Talk
September 24, 2018 at 6pm
Gallery 344, City Hall Annex, 344 Broadway, Second Floor
Cambridge Arts and the Cambridge Women’s Commission are excited to co-sponsor September’s Women in Cambridge. Join us for an artistic evening of socializing, snacking, and networking amongst the art at Gallery 344 in the City Hall Annex. We will learn about Cambridge’s vibrant Open Studios events happening this fall, hear from some of the participating artists, and learn about other imaginative and creative initiatives happening locally.
Women in Cambridge is a dynamic, friendly and welcoming group of over 1000 professional women who meet monthly to socialize and network in Cambridge. At each event, we pair a great Cambridge restaurant/retail business/public space and a local service professional or organization, with an emphasis on women-owned and women-led businesses or organizations. We hear a little bit from our featured speakers and leave plenty of time for relaxed conversation
