Fodor's Review:

To see or hear the work of up-and-coming artists, visit the gallery or attend a reading at the Fine Arts Work Center (FAWC). A nonprofit organization founded in 1968, the FAWC sponsors 10 writers and 10 artists from October through May each year, providing them with a place to live and work, a stipend, and access to artists and teachers. A summer program has open-enrollment workshops in both writing and the visual arts. The buildings in the complex around the center, which it owns, were formerly part of Day's Lumber Yard Studios, built above a lumberyard by a patron of the arts to provide poor artists with cheap accommodations. Robert Motherwell, Hans Hoffmann, and Helen Frankenthaler have been among the studios' roster of residents over the years.

  • Cost: Free, $5 for events and readings
  • Open: Weekdays 9-5, events are usually held in evening
