🌟 From concept to creation! 🌟

Laurel Elementary School students worked collaboratively to create these gorgeous Mandala Tile Murals, combining creativity, teamwork, and self-expression into one beautiful installation.

Each student designed and painted their own unique tile, and together they transformed individual pieces into a stunning collective work of art. 🎨✨

Swipe to see the journey from start to finish and the incredible impact that happens when young artists create together!

At Creative Outlets Arts Center, we love bringing meaningful arts experiences into schools and empowering students to see how their individual contributions help create something bigger than themselves.

Come create, connect, and leave with something you made yourself 💛

We don’t just bring art into schools… we transform them. 🎨✨

From vibrant murals like this one—“A Colorful Community”—to artist residencies, after-school programs, and professional development, Creative Outlets Arts Center is proud to partner with school districts across PGCPS, AACPS, MCPS, and beyond.

Our work goes beyond the wall. We create spaces where students feel seen, inspired, and connected—while supporting educators with meaningful, engaging programming.

Art builds community. Art builds confidence. Art builds connection.

Let’s create something powerful together. 💫

Art as healing. Art as reflection. Art as YOU. 💙

We’ve been so proud to partner with BlackRock Center for the Arts on our Self Centered workshop series—where creativity meets mindfulness. This 6-week experience gives participants the space to slow down, explore different art forms, and reconnect with themselves through the creative process.

Because sometimes the most important thing you can pour into… is YOU.

If you’ve ever needed a reset, a release, or just a moment to breathe—this is what that looks like. 🎨✨

Stay connected for upcoming sessions and opportunities to create with us.
