ArtWeek

In its sixth year, this 10-day festival aims to showcase artists’ processes while also providing hands-on experiences for art lovers across the state. You can peruse a wide range of activities, from getting a behind-the-scenes glimpse at rehearsals for contemporary dance company Urbanity Dance (pictured) to helping paint a hallway mural as part of the Brain Arts Open House at the Dorchester Art Project. Check out any of the more than 500 events in 155 Massachusetts neighborhoods during ArtWeek. / Julia Aparicio
