Made in SomoS - Open Studios

SomoS invites you to our upcoming Open Studios event, featuring current resident artists Songül Karakoç, Christopher Houweling, Ely Young, and Jennifer Marquardt!

Our Open Studios offers a unique chance to step into the creative spaces of our resident artists, offering a direct glimpse into how their ideas evolve. In the studios and exhibition areas, the artists share works at various stages of development—together with the questions, methods, and dialogues that shape them. It’s an open and informal setting to connect with the artists and discover the diverse approaches they bring to their art-making.

Below, you will find more about each of the artists and the work they are developing during their time at SomoS.
