The REACH, at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts

Moonshot Studio at the REACH invites visitors to roll up their sleeves and dive into the creative process, transforming a corner of the Kennedy Center into a lively workshop. The space buzzes with the energy of families and solo makers, each drawn to a rotating selection of hands-on art projects that range from printmaking to sculpture. Staff circulate with gentle guidance, offering tips without steering the experience, so each creation feels genuinely personal. Projects are designed to be immersive, often taking an hour or more, which encourages a slower, more thoughtful approach to making art. The studio’s open layout and abundance of materials foster a sense of possibility, making it easy to lose track of time while experimenting. Moonshot Studio’s atmosphere is relaxed but purposeful, striking a balance between playful exploration and focused creativity.
