MoCA on the Move at Met Park: No Experience Required
Fun for the whole family! No Experience Required offers playful art making activities for children (and their curious adults) every Sunday morning.
There will be collaborative, community-built art works, and opportunities to “make and take” works, too. With frozen coffee treats from Rossana, live musical entertainment, bubbles, and featured Artist Spotlights happening throughout the series, there is sure to be something for everyone — join us!
Metropolitan Park is located at 1400 S Eads St. Arlington, VA 22202. Programming is free.
