Artist Group Seeking New Home, Might Leave Town

By |

The Turtle Studios has been in town since the Clinton Administration, but it may have to leave Watertown unless it can find an affordable spot. The group of 28 artists calls the second floor of the Watertown Elks Lodge home, but in December they were told that the building was being sold, said Jen Dunning, an artist who has been part of the group for the past 8 years. “We have until Sept. 30 to find new space,” Dunning said. The group has been looking at spaces around Watertown, but have yet to find a space big enough in their price range.
