There are 6 artists in home studios and 9 in pop-up studios at the Sherman Senior Center, the Sherman Town Hall Meeting Room, the Sacred Grounds Coffee Roasters, and Hair by Susi. The Sherman Artists Open Studio Guide is a brochure containing a map, directions, contact information, an overview with images of each participant's artwork and our sponsors. The brochure is available at various Sherman locations - the Sherman Library, the Sherman Old Store, the IGA, American Pie, the White Silo Winery, and Happy Rainbows, and in New Fairfield at the Barn Gallery.
