Discover Businesses That WERE a part of the 2025 Art Auction Tour

Art in the Open came back for its second year, transforming the streets of Downtown Cambridge into a living art studio and gallery.

Throughout the day, local artists set up across the core, creating works inspired by our architecture, streetscapes, and river views — right before your eyes. Visitors strolled through downtown and experienced creativity in motion on every corner, from delicate brushstrokes to bold, imaginative perspectives.

Once complete, the finished pieces were displayed in local shops, with an online auction following, in support of the Cambridge Food Bank. This open-air celebration was a chance for visitors to see our city through the eyes of its artists — and to be part of something that blends community, culture, and cause. Stay tuned for next year’s event!
