Volunteer for Somerville Open Studios! May 2 + 3, 2009!

It's only a few short weeks until Somerville Open Studios throws open the doors of Somerville to artists and residents alike. Come out to meet your city's artists on Saturday and Sunday May 2 + 3 between noon and 6pm!
This is a once-a-year chance to see some of the amazing arts being produced in homes and studios all around the city, meet your neighbors, and tour Somerville. Every year, hundreds of artists register to share their art and lives with the public, and every year, thousands of visitors take advantage of this dazzling opportunity.
 
Somerville Open Studios is a non-profit organization run by the artists themselves, and in order to make this event happen every year, they rely on volunteers to make sure that things run smoothly while they're in their studios. Volunteers can offer anywhere from an hour to several days to help SOS run smoothly, either during SOS itself or before it starts.
 
Some of the most-needed volunteer positions are:
  • making sure that maps and flyers are distributed all over town (not just Somerville!);
  • working to ensure that the trolleys run smoothly; and
  • maintaining the physical signs for the studios and trolley stops; and
there are many other options, as well.
 
If you'd like to help or contribute, please contact volunteer@somervilleopenstudios.org for more information.

1 Bedroom Summer Sublet Available in Somerville!

1 bedroom, fully furnished sublet available in Somerville, right in Davis Square. Move-in date can be anywhere between May 15 to June 1. It’s a less-than-five minute walk to the Davis Square stop on the Red T-line.

Rent would be $900 + approximately $70 for utilities (including cable and internet).

We’re on the first floor and there’s a living room with TV, a fully furnished kitchen (and a nice one at that), and bathroom.

The room has a closet, a dresser, a desk, and bed. There is access to a free washer and dryer in the basement and there is one parking space in the back.

I have a roommate already, she’s in the journalism department in Emerson.

Like I said before, you can move in between May 15 to June 1st. The room is available until September 1st, but there is a possibility of extending for the rest of the school year.
