Smart bets: Kenilworth Art Studio Tour

The Kenilworth Art Studio Tour combines the visual and tactile talents of 17 neighbors, taking participants on a self-guided home studio hop of their 14 workspaces. Featured artwork taps into various disciplines — painting, collage, pottery, woodwork, tile work, sculpture, fashion and jewelry — and ranges from decorative to functional and elegant to whimsical. This year, the tour also highlights recreational and educational opportunities at The Harvest House, a creative hub that’s been in the neighborhood for 50 years (and houses a public woodshop). Dissolving the barriers between maker and buyer, these artists open their doors to curious eyes on Saturday and Sunday, May 28 and 29, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Free.
