Open Art Studio at Gilliam Place (Arlington)

Stop by Gilliam Place and enjoy open art studio, which is a time to freely interact with art materials and express yourself through creativity.

To prepare: It is advised that you wear clothes you wouldn't mind possibly getting stained. 

Meet up: We'll meet in the lobby-level community room at the GP. A key fob is needed to access the building, so please message the OSG Events WhastApp group chat upon arrival if you're not a GP resident.

Weather Cancellation: In case of unsafe weather conditions, an announcement will be made on WhatsApp at least 2 hours prior to the start of the in-person event.

Parking: Free guest parking is available in unmarked spots within the Gilliam Place parking garage, as well as on Lincoln Street past the roundabout. Please email [email protected] to reserve a parking pass in advance of this event.  

Contact: We will communicate changes of plans and important updates via WhatsApp. If you are not yet in our OSG WhatsApp Events group, you can join via the link that will be sent to your email with your registration confirmation.

Accommodations: At OSG, our staff are not direct service providers, so we ask that each participant attending an event brings any personal support they may need for their well-being and engagement. This may include, but is not limited to, caregivers, communication partners, or mobility aids. That said, with prior notice, we can arrange group-wide accommodations during event planning. These might include ensuring wheelchair-accessible routes or selecting allergen-safe menus. Additional accommodations are available upon request, though they may not be listed here. To discuss your specific needs and help us make our events more inclusive, please contact us at j[email protected] with the subject line "Accommodation Request."

*Note: Sign-up is mandatory. Be sure to RSVP so we know to expect you.
