Cultural equity is consistently cited as a major problem in the arts and theater industry. The recent “Black Lives Matter” protests and calls for theaters to put their “statements of support” into action has focused even more light on this issue. A major impediment to achieving more diversity in this industry is that while all agree that concrete changes must be made, there has been a lack of insight into how and what these changes should entail to garner results.
In order to help theaters achieve their goals of greater cultural equity, Embracing Arlington Arts will be offering an educational project for non-profit arts organizations and other arts professionals throughout Arlington County on developing concrete steps to better serve artists of color — a MUST for the long-term viability of the arts sector.

It’s time to think outside the box and Zoom over for Live at the Athenaeum. Separate little boxes may rule our lives but this live performance brings all the action to one room, this time a spacious gallery of fine arts.
From the ease of your home, you witness a cast of characters negotiate an ordinary discussion about the weather. Weave through the highs and lows of compromise and opposition in Do Not Touch. Afterwards, everyone can shake hands and walk away, except that COVID-19 limits the touch. Saturday October 3 at 7:30 p.m. — FREE.

Back to school and back to creativity with Encore Stage & Studio. Small group classes for all ages begin next week, including our popular Monday morning camp for Elementary students.
Classes are held outdoors with all staff and students wearing masks and following COVID-19 health and cleaning protocols. We are excited to provide an opportunity for students to spend (socially-distanced) time with friends and activate their imaginations!
It’s back to school and back to art classes at Art House 7! Our fall session starts this Monday, September 14, ages kindergarten to adult. For those who prefer to learn at home, we have some great drawing, cartooning and painting classes (Impressionism to Surrealism is one). For those who want to be in the studio, we’ve got sewing, ceramics, sculpture, painting, drawing and more.
A strict safety protocol is in place for in-studio classes, which are all small in size — see the details on our website. We can’t wait to see everyone, and see what you create!
Do your children think they have all the answers? “Thinking Outside The BOx” is just the right thing for them! This class/camp gives your child the opportunity to learn how to think on their feet, spend time in a wonderfully stimulating and creative environment while learning how to tackle challenging problems.
The class/camp usually starts with a couple of brain warm up questions/challenges, followed by a presentation and open discussion on a specific concept/topic, such as brainstorming, team building, problem solving, critical and creative thinking, leadership development, and ends with a subject related hands-on project or activity, individual or team oriented. In TOB they will have fun and apply their creative and critical thinking while learning crucial concepts and skills for our new digital increasingly complex and challenging world.
Your child can still experience a sense of belonging to a safe and caring community. St. Charles Preschool is looking to expand the Daycare program for 4-year-olds as older siblings begin school or parents return to the workplace.
Available hours are 7:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m., Monday-Friday. The school year runs September through May. Summer Camp will be available in 2021. Students hone their kindergarten readiness skills through social-emotional development, hands-on learning and engaging activities.
