Idylwood Studios

Where art creates community

The studios

In 2024 a Transformation Grant from National Capital Presbytery turned our old Sunday school rooms into artist studios and a small gallery. Local artists work there now. They don't have to join the church. They only have to believe in community.

Community Curator Pam Huffman curates shows by new, local artists, with priority to artists of color. Shows return in 2027. Find us on the upper level of the church, up the iron stairs.

Meet our artists.

Shows return in 2027

Our last show of 2026, Threads of Culture, Threads of Memory by Jose A. Quinonez, closed October 14. Shows return in 2027.

Come make art

ArtTogether: Saturday, November 21, from 1 to 3 pm. Bring what you're working on, or use our supplies to start something new, in community with other artists.

Out front, the Free Little Art Gallery works like a little free library for art: take a piece, leave a piece.
