Come join us on the rooftop of Live Arts (and SSG) for our next free Family Studio Day event on Saturday, September 17th from 10AM-4PM and make your own teeny tiny masterpiece!

Check out the Teeny Tiny Trifecta exhibition in the gallery for inspiration and then join SSG and Draw Charlottesville on the rooftop to create your own teeny tiny piece of artwork inspired by Charlottesville, using a range of materials and techniques. Artists Jessica Livingston and Andrea Ruedy Trimble of Draw Charlottesville will be at the workshop from 10AM-12PM but drop by anytime during the open studio day and stay as long as you like - no appointment necessary.

This event is an open studio day that invites families with kids of all ages to spend time and make art together. Along with this main activity, visitors will have access to free art materials, prompts, and coloring pages to play with during their time in the space.

This Family Studio Day will take place outdoors on the rooftop of LiveArts (weather permitting!). Check in at the front desk at Second Street Gallery and we’ll lead the way! Space is limited and will be first-come, first-serve. If there is no space when you come by, please check back in within 15-30 minutes as families regularly come and go! Visitors will be encouraged to wear masks, but are not required to. All children must be accompanied by a guardian.
