Handmade Holiday Workshops

Sunday / December 10

$50 Kids - $75 Adults. Registration required.

Sign up today for MoCA Arlington's Annual Handmade Holiday Workshops! MoCA's wonderful arts instructors will be leading workshops for ages 5-7, 8-10, as well as adults! Join local artist and arts educator Molly McCracken for an engaging and creative holiday card-making workshop. Students will be introduced to new mixed media and collage techniques and allow participants to experiment and explore. This workshop is open to all skill levels and is a wonderful reintroduction if you have not been in an art class in a while! 

For the creative kids out there, we are offering our Gift Mania Workshop! Participants will create a special hand-made work of art for a loved one to be kept secret until a big reveal during the holidays. Parents, we will be wrapping these gifts, so no peeking!

Do you enjoy MoCA Arlington?

Our friend, Ayleyna (age 10), sure does. We met Ayleyna through one of our many programs we offer that connects people of all ages and backgrounds with artists, art-making, and the museum. And now that it's December, we are in the midst of our Year End Fundraising Campaign to raise much-needed funds to support the museum.

Our goal is to raise $75,000 by December 31 to support our mission to continue connecting you with contemporary art and artists through exhibitions, education programs, public programs, and artist residencies. As an independent 501c3 nonprofit, every dollar donated creates a big impact at MoCA Arlington! Thanks for your support!
