For more than 30 years, Boston artists and art lovers have looked forward to the Jamaica Plain Open Studios (JPOS), a free annual event where the public can meet artists, experience their studios, and enjoy and purchase artwork directly. Organized by the Jamaica Plain Arts Council, this lively community-centered weekend celebrates the arts in Jamaica Plain (JP), a vibrant neighborhood where artistic connections and history abound. On Sept.

26-27, 2026, from 11am-6 pm (Saturday) and 11am-6pm (Sunday), this year’s event will showcase artwork by over 200 artists at over 60 sites across the neighborhood—inside artists’ studio spaces, plus group sites at Curtis Hall Community Center, the Loring Greenough House, The Eliot School of Fine and Applied Arts, several churches, and elsewhere throughout JP.
