DC Arts Studios Spring Open Studios

DC Arts Studios (DCAS) invites you to their annual Spring Open Studios on Sunday, April 29, 10am - 5pm!

Take a self-guided tour through the participating artists' studios and have a "behind the scenes" peek into their creative process -- a great way to introduce kids to the arts and learn about different techniques and mediums!

Purchase original artwork and other handmade gifts directly from the artists themselves! Featured artwork and gifts will include photography, paintings, mixed media, fiber art, sculpture, stained glass, weaving, art made from re-purposed bicycle and computer parts, and much more.

Swing by the Willow Street Gallery Group Show and Sale, "The Color Blue" on our first floor.

There will be food and refreshments throughout the studios.

The event is free, accessible, family friendly, and open to the public.

And please help them spread the word! Share the DCAS Spring Open Studios Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1767997493507433/
