Join Arlington Center for the Arts staff members Pam Shanley (AOS Director and Operations Manager) and Aneleise Ruggles (Communications Director) for one of our live info sessions where we review the new format of this year's Arlington Open Studios event and answer any questions you may have. We have two (2) opportunities for you to attend a session. Please pre-register for these sessions, as we have limits on our Zoom and will need to cap registrations at a certain point.

AOS Info Session 2: Sunday, August 23, @ 4pm

About Arlington Open Studios:
Join the Arlington Center for the Arts for our 22st Annual Arlington Open Studios happening on Saturday, November 14, 2020.  All mediums encouraged, including painting, photography, fiber, ceramics, glass, fine jewelry, mixed media, printmaking, and sculpture.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s in-person Arlington Open Studios will be replaced by a virtual experience. Since we do not currently know to what scale public gatherings will be possible in November, the Arlington Center for the Arts has decided to reimagine the format of this year’s event. We hope these changes will ensure our ability to present the event and continue to serve artists and the community during these uncertain times. This was not an easy decision to make and the health and safety of our community is our top priority.
