Our Open Studio is a relaxed, creative space where children are free to explore, experiment, and create at their own pace in a safe, welcoming art studio environment. Parents may drop off their child knowing they are being guided by an experienced art educator.

During Open Studio, children choose from a thoughtfully curated selection of high-quality art materials—such as drawing tools, paint, collage materials, and sculptural media—along with art books and creative toys that spark ideas and imagination. Rather than following a single project, students are encouraged to follow their interests, try new techniques, and build confidence through self-directed creation.

An experienced art teacher is always present to offer guidance, demonstrations, encouragement, and structure when needed, ensuring that each child feels supported while maintaining the freedom that makes Open Studio special. This program is ideal for curious, creative kids who thrive with choice, independence, and artistic exploration.

All materials included. No prior art experience necessary.

Enjoy an evening out while your young artist dives into three hours of creative fun! Drop off your child at Emma’s Art Studio (4931 Cordell Ave., Bethesda, MD 20814) for art projects, games, and imaginative play — held on the last Saturday of each month.

While your child creates, you can unwind and enjoy one of Bethesda’s many great restaurants — all just a short walk away:

Gringos & Mariachis – A lively spot for tacos, tequila, and margaritas.

Bethesda Tavern & Beer Garden – Cozy and casual, with great pub fare and local drafts.

Ruta Ukrainian Restaurant – A warm, inviting place serving authentic Ukrainian comfort food.

Mussel Bar & Grille Bethesda – Belgian-inspired classics, wood-fired pizzas, and great cocktails.

And so many more!

Take time for yourself — we’ll take care of the fun!
