603 Edmonston Dr, Rockville“We only spent time inside the mansion for a wedding. Overall, not our style and it is very compartmentalized and separated (as old houses go). But cute place for weddings !”
“I had a great experience here. I brought in a project involving framing and matting several photos together. I received excellent advice on spacing, color, and frames, which was a huge help. I also needed a fairly quick turnaround as it was a gift, and they were able to accommodate me with having it ready on my timeline (less than two weeks). It is a beautiful project and will be treasured for years to come. I would definitely come back here!”
“Art and Frame Depot in Gaithersburg MD provided outstanding service in framing a Chinese scroll for my daughter. The creativity and attention to detail in the design of the frame, as well as the quality of the glass used, exceeded my expectations. I was impressed with the care taken to ensure the longevity of the scroll by placing it in a shadow frame box. Highly recommended!”

Fabulous energy and wonderful diversity of crafts fill this space. The exhibitions thus far have been top notch! You have to see and experience to fully understand. Congratulations to Artists & Makers Studios!!”
“My wife and I really enjoyed working with Mary and her team at VisArts. We had looked at around eight different venues before coming to VisArts. The venue stood out to us due to the space and the flexibility they offered with doing an outdoor wedding versus an indoor one (we opted for an indoor one). The location was also great since we were right by the Cambria Hotel Rockville (a 5-minute walk) and the Rockville metro station, meaning our guests could take the train from the airport. These were all pluses when it came to accommodating our out-of-town guests.
The cost was a bit more expensive than what we were originally considering, and that feeling persisted as we opted for some add-on things like the use of the roof for our cocktail reception, some decor, and a Zoom livestream for our ceremony. In total, it was $6,200 for the room rental package (a Saturday during peak wedding season) and $1,800 for the add-ons. Something unexpectedly nice was that 20% of the cost of our venue package was classified as a donation to VisArts and thus was tax-deductible. We felt good about supporting a local non-profit organization through our wedding.
Mary and her team were incredibly communicative and clear discussing what was expected of both them and us throughout the booking process. Overally, we’d definitely recommend VisArts as a space for anyone considering looking for a venue.
