Open Studios happens twice a year, where all 9 floors of the Bok building open for visitors to explore our hallways and meet our community! This free, family-friendly event welcomes you into the building’s inspiring spaces, home to fine artists, glass blowers, ceramicists, bakers, jewelers, guitar makers, designers, photographers, and more. Special activations include food trucks outside, community partners in the hallways, and curated tunes and visuals by Klip Collective in the historic Art Deco auditorium, hosted by Friends of Bok.

For the first time at Open Studios, food vendors with the Association of Mexican Business Owners of Philadelphia will be popping up in the West Gym alongside a mobile Bok Bar, so you can fuel up before you explore. And don't forget, Irwin's will be taking dinner reservations all night, or you can grab a drink at Bok Bar featuring homestyle bites from their May food partner Jezabel’s—no reservation required!
