As shared by one of our members:  The Fallston Firehouse Artists meets weekly on Thursday mornings 10am-noon. 2201 Carrs Mill Rd, Fallston, MD 21047.  The group meets year-round for informal individual art projects in a collegiate & supportive work session. This is a self-directed group with a love of art.  This is not an MPS activity; however, if you are interested in joining the group, we can help put you in contact with the organizers.
