All are welcome!

Please join at our first open board meeting of 2026! Tuesday, January 6th, 7:00~9:00pm at the Footlight Club, 7a Eliot Street, Jamaica Plain.  We’ll start off the meeting with food and beverage and a chance to catch up with fellow artists, volunteers, and members of the JPOS community.

We will be kicking off planning for our 33rd JP Open Studios in 2026! (September 26th and 27th, 2026).

JPAC is a volunteer organization which has been kept thriving over the years by a small group of dedicated individuals, board members, artists and art supporters.

If JPOS is important to you, please join us to plan the future of the organization and the event overall.  We need volunteers, members and boots on the ground help to keep the show going!  Bring yourself, bring a friend, neighbor or colleague … anyone who values the arts and the vibrancy it brings to the JP community.

Thank you!  We look forward to seeing you.
