SoWa Art + Design District

The SoWa Art + Design District is a vibrant community of artist studios, contemporary art galleries, one-of-a-kind boutiques, design showrooms, and restaurants unified by a passion for creating and curating exceptional artworks, products and experiences. Once known as a region of neglected warehouses in Boston’s South End, the SoWa Art + Design District has experienced a dramatic renaissance, blossoming into a world-renowned arts, retail, and lifestyle destination. Developed to support and preserve Boston’s talented artists and entrepreneurs, SoWa connects visitors with a dynamic group of makers and thinkers, and offers a platform to showcase their work at now-famous events such as the SoWa Open Market, SoWa First Fridays and the SoWa Art Walk. 

SoWa Artists Guild

The SoWa Artists Guild is a non-profit association of professional studio artists at the heart of the SoWa Art & Design District. SoWa artists share dedication to their work, pursuit of artistic quality, and unwavering commitment to art and community. Events like SoWa First Fridays, the SoWa Art Walk, and SoWa Open Studios invite the community into the artists’ work spaces to view contemporary art in the making.

Located at the Intersection of Creativity and Community 

Originally derived from a shortening of “South of Washington,” SoWa spans the area from Mass Ave to Herald Street and from Shawmut Ave to Albany Street. Ample parking is available and public transportation includes the Broadway, Tufts, and Back Bay stations, and the Silver Line.
