Bemis Center hosting Open House and Open Studios on Saturday

The Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts will have two locations open Saturday for public tours and events.

Open Studios will be held at the Old Market location. A series of workshops are planned, along with an Open House, at the Carver Bank location on North 24th Street.

Holly Kranker, Bemis’ Residency Program Manager, says there are 13 live-work studios in the Old Market. The public can tour the studios, meet the artists, and see their work.

Workshops at Carver Bank include one on local foods and how to buy it on a budget. There’s also a presentation by Bemis alumna Denise Chapman of an excerpt from her play, called Living Green. It’s set in the year of the Million Man March and focuses on contemporary issues facing the black community.

The Open Studios at 724 South 12th Street are open Saturday from 1 to 3 pm. Carver Bank is open from noon to 4 pm.
