Greenbelt’s Art And Culture Scene Is Thriving

For a town like Greenbelt, created for federal government workers to receive affordable housing in 1935 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, things have taken a colorful turn in the new millennium. The arts have found a home in the city with historic roots: the city’s cultural leaders have released the latest culture and arts calendar listing their fall activity guide, artist news and upcoming opportunities.

Artists may sign up for the Open Studio Tour. Greenbelt-affiliated artists, can participate in a hybrid open studio tour scheduled for October 3. Artists can greet visitors in person at your home/studio (in Greenbelt), or contribute a video tour or demonstration to share online. Sign up now to express interest and receive event communications. See past tour videos on the  Greenbelt Recreation ARTS YouTube channel  and visit the tour in review page from the previous events in June. The deadline to sign-up is September 17.

Looking for something to do with family and friends once the temperature cools down and summer comes to an end? The Fall Activity Guide is available and includes in-person and online activities for all ages.

Participants can preview an array of upcoming classes, workshops, events and exhibitions in the new Fall Activity Guide. Greenbelt resident registration for classes begin August 23; non-residents, August 30. The sign-up is open now to all for free Artful Afternoon workshops October 3 and November 7; use the tabs at the top to sign up for both dates.
