Youth Arts Celebration at the Workhouse Arts Center
National Get Kids to Parks Day at the Occoquan Regional Park!
Find out what's happening in Lortonwith free, real-time updates from Patch.
The Workhouse Arts Center, in cooperation with the Occoquan Regional Park and the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority, is proud to host a full day of activities celebrating the diversity of the cultural arts in our region. One of the features of the Youth Arts Celebration will be demonstrations by Workhouse artists. Up and down the artist's studios along the campus, families will get an up close look at how artists make their works - and in some cases kids will get a "hands on" opportunity to assist the artists. Scheduled demos will feature works with fiber, clay, glass, and other fine art.
Free shuttle bus service will be available between Occoquan Regional Park and the Workhouse Arts Center.
