NEWPORT – Sebasticook artists, crafters and performers are invited to participate in “Open Studio Days” sponsored by the Valley Arts Alliance (VAA).

The events will allow local artists to showcase their talents and the public an opportunity to purchase items by local artisans. Events will take place 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on seven consecutive Saturdays, Nov. 5-Dec. 17, at locations to be announced.

A participation fee of $10 is required and artists are asked to donate 10 percent of any revenue from the event to the VAA.

The income generated will go to promotional costs and provide donations to the Newport Cultural Center building fund and the Pittsfield Public Library expansion plans.
