Running with Scissors Open Studios

The annual Running With Scissors Art Studios 6x6 Show and Open Studios are happening in Portland, Maine during Maine Craft Weekend. On Saturday, October 5, 2024 stop by the studios located at 250 Anderson St, Portland from 12 - 5pm and wander 16,000 square feet of artist work spaces. Explore the life and works of 80+ artists working with diverse mediums, goals, backgrounds, ages, and experiences and watch live demonstrations including printmaking, felting, tiny stone house building, and wheel throwing. 

RWS is a multimedia artist space and home to the Clay, Print, and Wood Departments. Our studios are a community where members share equipment, ideas, tools, and support. RWS aims to help artists reach their independent creative goals by providing access to shared equipment, tools, information, and community. Open studios only happen twice a year. Support local artists and learn more about RWS at these family-friendly and free events! 

These events are a part of MCW, a statewide tour of Maine craft studios, businesses, and events. Running With Scissors is a proud 2024 Event Sponsor of MCW, which is produced by Maine Crafts Association, an organizational member at RWS.
