The Distillery in South Boston will host its annual Spring Open Studios on Saturday, June 7th from Noon - 7pm.  (Unlike the weekend-long events in the past, this one is for one-day only!) This year's event will include work from over 40 artists, craftspeople, and creative entrepreneurs.  This year, The Distillery has organized a ground-level "Art Sale" and a "Silent Auction Exhibit" in The Distillery Gallery - both carrying the same theme: great affordable art.  In addition, studio doors will be open throughout the building, inviting guests in for a view of the various creative spaces.

The Art Sale will take place on the ground level at over a dozen tables where work will be on display and ready for purchase, much of it at a discount.  Also on the first floor, The Distillery Gallery's "Silent Auction Exhibit" will feature an entire show consisting of pieces with a "starting bid" followed by a bidding sheet where interested parties can name their price in hopes of scoring a sweet deal.  Purchases will be made directly from the artists, no gallery commission involved.
