Summer Art Studio: A Creative Start

Hosted at Arts on the Block, Silver Spring, MD

The first sessions of Zion’s Summer Art Studio were filled with energy, creativity, and connection. Held at the Arts on the Block studio, the space quickly became a place where teens and young adults could explore, express, and unwind.

Some participants jumped into mosaic-making, while others painted freely or brought in personal projects they’d been meaning to finish. A few stayed late to stream a movie and hang out. Whether they came with a plan or just curiosity, everyone found something meaningful in the space.

What stood out most was the atmosphere — relaxed, welcoming, and open. Conversations flowed, new friendships were formed, and the room was filled with laughter, color, and purpose.
