Head to BlackRock This Weekend for a Full Day of Fun

September 13, 2021

For the last 20 years, BlackRock has provided access to the arts through exceptional classes, performances, exhibits, and community and family events. And the last year exposed just how much we truly need community, connection, and creativity in order to survive and thrive. For this reason, BlackRock has evolved beyond just a cultural arts center into a central resource for families in and around Upcounty Montgomery County Maryland. We hope you'll come see what we're all about!

Join us this Saturday (September 18th) for a celebration of the return of Arts to Blackrock! We'll have live performances, exhibits, vendors, free activities, trial classes, and more! 

  • Meet members of our faculty, with free classes and workshops
  • Enjoy free performances throughout the day
  • Activities and an art scavenger hunt
  • Free family Outdoor film under the stars- Shrek The Musical
  • Hear more (and ask questions) about our arts education classes
  • Tour our beautiful newly refinished space

Please note that masks are required for all, and proof of vaccination for ages 12+ will be required to enter our facility.

These activities are all FREE, with limited enrollment spots. Please visit https://www.blackrockcenter.org/2021openhouse to register.
