Artspace Open Studio

Artspace Open Studio is a monthly, self-guided crafting session designed for children and parents to create projects inspired by the gallery's current exhibitions. Located in the heart of downtown Raleigh, this visual arts center opens its doors for a relaxed afternoon where you can work at your own pace with provided materials. To attend, you must register online in advance for both children and adults. The program is best suited for preschool and elementary-aged children who can handle basic art supplies. Since you will be working with art supplies, it is best to dress your children in clothes that can handle a stray paint smudge or glue drop. This event makes a great Sunday afternoon stop because it combines a structured, low-pressure activity with the chance to walk through a working gallery. After finishing your project, you can wander the building to see local artists working in their personal studios, making it an easy way to introduce children to the local art scene.
