The Great Green Gathering: Together We Grow, Together We Create

The Gaithersburg Artist Collective is hosting a family-friendly Earth Day Arts & Crafts Festival!

Free activities, eco‑crafts, and fun for all ages!

Join us just outside of Artists on Market on Saturday, April 18 from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. at Main Street Park. Participate in fun and creative drop-in crafts, Earth-Day themed activities, and learn more about ways that you can do your part to take care of our beautiful planet.

Planned activities include:

-decorating seed pots that you will plant seeds in to grow at home

-learning more about the Monarch Butterflies, and watching a video about them

-participating in Woven in Nature, an eco-friendly re-purposing activity weaving branches with non-recyclable plastics and yarn

-decorating your own birdhouse

-enjoying a Master Gardener talk on Native Plantings

In addition, we will expand on our Spring Show with more “green-themed artwork” for sale on the day of this event.

Stay tuned for more information on planned activities and collaborations via social media as the date approaches. We hope you’ll plan to join us!
