Bring the kids to the Torpedo Factory this weekend for a ton of fun art activities at Art Safari!
It’s this Saturday, October 11, from 12:00 noon to 4:00 pm. Kids can try out things like pottery, art from scrap, painting, and printmaking — and, yes, it might get a little messy.
Here’s a list of the activities. Be sure to find The Art League on the first floor in our Gallery (studio 21) and on the second floor and third floor in the hallways! For details, see torpedofactory.org.

“Everything. We aren’t in the middle of a particular art movement or a predominant genre; everything is happening. Anything goes.” — Juror Cory Oberndorfer on “Art NOW.”
Come join us tonight for the opening reception for these two exhibits! After a year of special exhibits marking 60 years of The Art League — from Abstract Expressionism to Contemporary Realism — we’ve arrived at the finale to this series, with “Art NOW” showcasing what’s happening in the visual arts in DC today. Come see the exhibit juried by Cory Oberndorfer and Leslie Nolan’s “Beyond the Edge” exhibit of contemporary portraits!
If that isn’t enough of an incentive, here’s a look at the gallery fridge right now:
