Artists & Makers Studios Open Studio Weekend

Shop Local and Handmade, Supporting Small Businesses in Your Neighborhood.

Artists & Makers Studios 1 and 2 in Rockville will throw open the doors for a very special Open Studio Weekend on November 4th and 5th from 12-5pm. At more than 36,000 combined square feet, Artists & Makers Studios roster includes more than 138 artists, five galleries, and a wide variety of artistic practices and mediums – making it the largest studio complex in Montgomery County. With campuses just 9/10’s of a mile apart, artists and makers work in jewelry, silk painting, glass, printmaking, ceramics, watercolor and acrylic painting, oil painting, fiber art, mixed media, stamp making, furniture painting, photography, graphic design, encaustic, and so much more – right here in one central location. In addition, browse exhibits, local businesses joining us for the weekend, and see artist demos in the studios. Shop local and handmade with lots of small works, unique one-of-a-kind finds, and affordable items to charm everyone on your gift list for the holidays and beyond. Dine locally for lunch or dinner right in the neighborhood from a list of more than fifty restaurants that we supply – and do even more to support local small businesses!
