Holiday cheer is coming near...

Spend the holidays at BlackRock! From go-go to jazz, Celtic to drag, we've got a little something for everyone this season. 

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

SPONSOR A SNOWFLAKE!

Spread some holiday cheer and show your support for the arts! When you sponsor a snowflake, your logo, name, or message will hang on a handmade snowflake in our Grand Lobby, on display from December through February for all of Germantown to see!

Charity

Pay what you can.

Give where you live.

Our Pay What You Can Ticket initiative invites you to enjoy select performances at a reduced price by giving back — not with money, but with item donations that support our community partners.

RARE ESSENCE

Also lovingly known by fans as RE, “The Inner City Groovers”, or Essence (if you're from DC), you can’t help but know who “The Wickedest Band Alive” is and that you gotta be there to experience the party in person!

ABOUT US

For the last 22 years, BlackRock has provided access to the arts through exceptional classes, performances, exhibits, and community and family events.

 

And the last year exposed just how much we truly need community, connection, and creativity in order to survive and thrive.

For this reason, BlackRock has evolved beyond just a cultural arts center into a central resource for families in and around Upcounty Montgomery County Maryland.  

We are committed to providing opportunities for arts engagement particularly for youth from low-income households in our community. To learn more about our outreach programs, click here. 

BlackRock is here for you, our community, and beyond.
