Gaithersburg Artist Collective

Program Overview

Artful Sundays is a monthly drop-in craft class that invites young children and their caregivers to create together through the lens of the season. Each class features a unique, age-appropriate project — from autumn leaf printing and winter snowmen to spring flower pots. Sessions will be held the first Sunday of every month, from September through May. Sign up for each session individually.

All materials are provided. Families simply arrive ready to roll up their sleeves and make something beautiful.
