Family Open Studios invites participants of all ages to engage in a welcoming atmosphere of creativity, discovery, and hands-on artmaking at the Art Gallery of Burlington. Through open-ended play and optional guided activities, families are encouraged to experiment, improvise, and explore materials at their own pace.

 

Each session features a thoughtfully designed project led by an Artist Instructor, alongside access to a wide range of art materials. Our instructors are present to support and inspire, offering encouragement, demonstrations, and creative problem-solving for all ages and experience levels.

 

Programming evolves throughout the year in dialogue with our exhibitions, offering fresh opportunities for discovery and creative exploration each season.
