Explore More is currently on Hold

My kids love art of all kinds. They love to make crafts, to draw, color, sculpt; you name it. So when we attend GRACE's Explore More, they get to experience art first hand.

For just $5 per child, kids get to explore art on their own terms.
  • Come to GRACE (children must be accompanied by an adult or teen).
  • Take an Art Bucket and use it to explore the exhibition.
  • Buckets include a treasure hunt, art supplies, and suggestions for projects.
  • Follow the guide to learn about the artwork on display.
  • Use the art supplies to create your own projects.
  • Take your creations home and come back soon!
  • $5.00 re-stocking fee per bucket.
Currently, however, there is a "BEAUTIFUL Virginia Women Artists and the Body" exhibit which includes mature content. GRACE is not taking group reservations for "Explore More" at this time.
For those who choose to visit the gallery, an activity guide and art materials are available for an age-appropriate selection of works on display
in the Learning Center.
Please visit GRACE in late June for gaps, a juried sculpture and new media exhibition.

For more information, you can visit RestonArts.com.

New Web Layout

I hope you're having a fabulous spring!

I have not been happy with Google Calendar and that unhappiness has lead me to seek newer and better things...

Children's Events will be launching it's new website in the next few days!

It is new and improved!

It will allow you to submit your own events to the calendar, you will be able to join in groups and have discussions with other parents about similar topics. You will be able to post your own pictures and much, much more!

I hope you'll come back soon to check out the new layout! I guarantee you will love it!

To keep you busy, I have added some events for this weekend to the Google Calendar which you can access here.

Have a fabulous weekend and come back again soon!!
