Imagine the Future: A Community Art Project
Let’s paint our community’s future together! Join Shoulder Cat Studio for a family-friendly, hands-on art project where community members of all ages can paint pre-fired ceramic stones inspired by the prompt “Imagine the Future.”

Third spaces where we can gather, create, and connect are vital to any thriving community. The Lee Art Center’s story isn’t over. Let’s imagine a future where it continues to bring people together for generations to come.

Join us tomorrow, Saturday, October 24th from 2:30 to 4:30 at the Lee Arts Center as we remember Arlington's past while we paint it's future!! @shouldercatstudio

Mark your calendars, Falls Church City 🍂🥨
SAT Oct 17th FIRST ANNUAL Stylish Patina Small Biz Oktoberfest Market!

We're so excited to kick this off. We have this amazing spot right in the heart of Falls Church City, and honestly, there's no better way to use it than to open our doors (and our grounds) to other small businesses and bring the community together to shop local.

25 local small businesses, food trucks, live music, and really just all the good fall vibes. Think handmade goods, fashion, vintage finds, baked treats, and gifts you'll actually want to keep for yourself 😉

📍 301 Park Ave, Falls Church, VA
🗓 Saturday, October 17th
⏰ 9AM–7PM

Grab your people, bring the kids, bring the dog, walk over. This is exactly what a Northern Virginia fall Saturday should feel like. Every purchase supports a neighbor, a maker, a dream someone built from scratch, and that's what makes this community so special.

👉 SAVE this post so you don't forget
👉 TAG the friend you're dragging along
👉 SHARE it to your story so your neighbors
