unveiled26 SOMA Studio Tour Artists

The captivating preview exhibition of the 23rd Annual SOMA Studio Tour, unveiled26, goes on view in the Herb + Milly Iris Gallery at SOPAC beginning Thursday, SEP 17. Now marking its fifth year as a tandem exhibition with the Tour, unveiled26 celebrates the remarkable depth of talent within the SOMA artist community, offering a first look at the work that will fill studios across South Orange and Maplewood when the Tour weekend arrives. “The preview is where the magic begins,” said curator Jeremy Moss. “It’s the perfect place to meet new artists, see a cross-section of the work that will be revealed in full during the Tour weekend, and get swept up in the energy of our community’s creative spirit.”

• On View Through NOV 8: The carefully curated exhibition will feature work by artists from South Orange and Maplewood.
• A Milestone Partnership: Now in its fifth tandem exhibition with the SOMA Studio Tour, unveiled26 continues a tradition that bridges the gallery and the community, giving audiences an early look at the artists behind the Tour before it opens.
• Opening Night Celebration: Join us Thursday, SEP 17 from 6–8 PM for the opening reception, an evening for neighbors, friends, and art lovers to reconnect after summer, meet the artists, and get swept up in SOMA’s creative spirit.

This preview isn’t just a warm-up act, it’s the community’s first chance to see what the 23rd Annual SOMA Studio Tour has in store. For longtime Tour-goers and first-time visitors alike, unveiled26 is the perfect place to start.
