There are almost 40 Dupont-Logan artists in Mid City Artists and the group hold open studios in the late spring and fall. Many of the artists either work out of home spaces or have studios in non-traditional spaces. Mid City Artists explains: “Everyone seems curious about how artists fit their act of creation into busy schedules that often include fulltime jobs and families—and spaces that may also double as dining rooms or basements, garages or carriage houses.”
