Every fall, Jamaica Plain Open Studios showcases the work of over 200 artists throughout the neighborhood. This year, for the first time, the interior of our building will showcase Eliot School faculty and a Silent Auction to benefit the school. Our outdoor schoolyard showcases other artists and artisans from Jamaica Plain and elsewhere.
Pick up an Eliot School Passport or go to our website and download a copy. Get all Eliot School Faculty members participating in JPOS to stamp or sign your Passport and you can enter your name in a raffle for a free class during our Fall/Winter term! Drop-off at 24 Eliot Street, Jamaica Plain, MA 02130
Volunteer with us. Staff our information table for a couple of hours and greet the world as thousands of people flow by.
