MORE ABOUT the INNOVATION STUDIO + STORE

• Resident Artist Program: Ever wondered what it’s like to be a professional artist? Our 6-week residency lets you meet working artists, chat about their craft, attend an artist talk, and even roll up your sleeves to create alongside them in hands-on workshops.
• Art-Making for All: Creativity knows no age limits. Grab a brush, some glue, or any of our art cart supplies and get making! Our Art Carts are free of charge, and available for use any time you drop by! And Tuesday mornings, our early childhood program, Young Explorers, invites families to get their hands messy and make art together in a fun, casual setting.
• Shop Local, Shop Unique: Find a collection of one-of-a-kind art, locally crafted goodies, must-have art supplies, and quirky museum merch that’ll make you look twice. Your purchases support local artists and helps keep the creative spirit alive!

Come raise a glass with us (or better yet, a paintbrush) and celebrate the creative magic happening at MoCA Arlington’s Innovation Studio + Store.
