Fenway Studios History and Art Studio Tour   

Fenway Studios, a National Historic Landmark building built in 1905, is the oldest continuously functioning building in the country constructed for and dedicated solely to artists' space. Inspired by the 19th-century atelier studios in Paris, it was designed so that every one of the 46 studios would have a north-facing window and 14-foot high ceilings. On this tour, you'll learn about the building's architecture and its history while also visiting with artists in their studios and talking with them about their work. Originally, the building was associated with artists working in the Boston School style of painting, but now the current artists work in all media and styles. Over 100 years later, the artist community at Fenway Studios is thriving with more than 40 artists. This location is truly one of Boston's finest gems, and our tour will help you understand why.
