Eric March, artist and organizer, discusses the Erector Square's 100th anniversary Open Studios

Erector Square, which celebrates its 100th birthday in 2023, has always had a special place in the creative life of New Haven, Connecticut. Until 1967, it was the home of A.C. Gilbert's factory that produced Erector Sets and dozens of other toys and science kits that challenged kids' creativity and ingenuity. In recent decades, it has become studio space for over 100 artists as well as theater companies, yoga and jujitsu studios, and other creative disciplines. In celebration of these 100 years, the artists of Erector Square are opening their studios on October 21 and 22, 2023, from noon to five. Open Studios organizer Eric March spoke with WPKN's Valerie Richardson. https://erectorsquarestudios.com/
