Drop-In Studio

We will have drop-in studio hours on Sunday, April 20th from 9am-12pm! See below for details.

Please join us for classes this fall! Backyartists Art Studio is not currently offering consistent drop-in studio times, but follow us on Instagram and/or Facebook @backyartists for the latest updates on pop-up drop-in hours.

Drop in rates are $20 for the first hour and $5 per every 15 minutes after. *Payment can be made by cash, check, or Venmo. No prior registration is required. Caregivers are required to stay with and supervise their children, although Rachel and/or Nicole will always be present as well to engage with children. Siblings under 18 months are free and there is a sibling discount of $5 off the total price for each sibling over 18 months.

Each week we’ll offer rotating stations, but they will always include a process art station, sensory bin, and chances for imaginative play. Each station is open-ended and easily adaptable to a variety of ages. Projects are planned with children ages 18 months to 7 years old in mind. Painting on the easel texture wall, weaving at the weaving wall, and our light table will also be open for play. Children are welcome to focus on one project or move freely between the stations during their time in the studio. Materials will be changed weekly.

Parking information: Metered parking is available on Medford Street and surrounding streets. You can also use the Russell Common Municipal Lot in Arlington Center. Free 4 hour street parking is available on side streets in nearby neighborhoods.
