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.
