School of Musical Traditions
School of Musical Traditions, partner to Takoma Park’s House of Musical Traditions, has moved its Rockville-based music school to 7112 Willow Ave. The school offers lessons on a wide variety of instruments and in multiple genres and styles for both adults and children. School of Musical Traditions will use the new larger space to offer private music lessons, group classes, workshops, and jams. They also plan to host open mics and offer performance series. Takoma Spark, as they have affectionately named the space, provides more space for individual and duo lessons, a large event space, a comfortable waiting and reception area, ADA accessibility and free parking adjacent to the building. Grand opening celebration is planned for January 2023.
Justice Arts Coalition
Justice Arts Coalition, a national network and resource for those creating art in and around the criminal legal system, will be moving its organization to 7112 Willow Avenue. The new space will be used for offices as well as a large gallery space. The organization displays artwork that has been entrusted to them by their network members – all artists who are currently or have been incarcerated in prisons across the US. This space creates the opportunity for the public to enjoy this art and to engage with hundreds of artists confined to prisons across the country. Justice Arts Coalition will host exhibition receptions, ArtLinks, holiday card writing gatherings, and will offer many other opportunities for the community to volunteer their time to support the organization’s ongoing programming. Justice Arts Coalition is also looking for donations of office supplies, office furnishings, art storage supplies and they have a job opening for a new Operations Director.
