Learn how the creative sausage gets made: More than 230 local artists are opening up their studios to the public over the next two weekends. Immerse yourself in the sheer volume of creators in the area, see where they create and support their act of creation by taking some art home with you. Ask first, though. The whole ordeal kicks off at a launch party with art, drinks and music. 625 S Street, vergeart.com.
