Welcome to SoWa Boston, the Art + Design district in the South End alive with restaurants, artist studios, galleries, home decor showrooms, and fashion boutiques housed in chic reclaimed industrial warehouse buildings. Sunday (from May to October) is a fun day when artisans, craftspeople, designers, and local farmers gather in the SoWa Open market, and shop owners open their doors.
If Boston were a person, SoWa would be its creative side alive with curiosity and imagination. Home to The SoWa Artists Guild a non-profit association of professional studio artists, it's the soul of the city's art scene. With 20+ galleries and great restaurants, the neighborhood "hums" with energy, especially on the First Fridays when galleries and studios open their doors.
SoWa Boston is equal parts creative business hub for office space, art scene, dining destination, and dynamic and vibrant residential community. Live in SoWa. Work in SoWa. Dine in SoWa. Explore SoWa, and you'll quickly discover why this creative community housed in chic renovated warehouse buildings is the best place to live, work, shop, and play in Boston.
