Artists

Let’s meet again to share the joy of fountain pens with each other! Bring your spare inks to swap samples, if you enjoy that sort of thing. Journaling and art is welcome as well. Please Note! We are not affiliated with this location, we will be sharing the space with other visitors and we don’t have a reservation, so let’s be mindful!

I created a 10- minute prompt writing method to trick my perfectionist brain to chill out and start creating art and write. Join me! I’m Victoria. I created a simple “prompt reset” method—a 10-minute writing exercise to help you and myself get into your creative flow, whether you already create or don’t know where to start. We write, then talk about the process, share what we’re working through, and get out of our own way together and help another person out there. Because you never know who is going to need to hear how you experience your creativity in life and what you do or don't do about it. We go live Sundasy at 5:30 PM ET. I am based in DC, open to traveling. In-person + streamed live. 📺 Watch the Show Check out our past episodes and see the vibe for yourself: 👉 [Click here to visit our YouTube Channel: @StruggleIsRealLVX](https://www.youtube.com/@StruggleIsRealLVX "https://www.youtube.com/@StruggleIsRealLVX")

Finally - after a six month break the Music Cave is back in operation. Please join June 20. Friendly get-togethers to play music, sing, drum, and learn. Musicians, singers, professionals, amateurs, beginners, all musical levels and all kinds of instruments welcome. We have informal/casual gatherings where you can enjoy playing music and singing with other members, can meet friendly people, and get inspired by others. Every meeting is adifferent combination! All musical levels, including beginners, are welcome, so long as you enjoy it! Bring extra instruments if you have them. Please come with 2 or 3 songs in mind that you would like to learn or play. Do not use the front door. Enter through the gate to the left rear of the house and the basement.

Join us Friday evening for the Bethesda Art Walk! From 6 - 8pm you can enjoy a guided short walking tour of five participating galleries and studios in downtown Bethesda. Meet the artists, view the art, and enjoy light refreshments at each stop! We'll start at Gallery B's 2026 Bethesda Painting Awards! There were more than 500 talented applicants this year, and the jury awarded 4 prizes. Amy Kaslow is exhibiting the work of two Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonists with some of the finest lampoons called “What’s So Funny?” Syndicated cartoonists Nick Anderson and Mike Luckovich take daily swipes in newspapers and summon us to reflect and repair. Triangle Art Studios is excited to welcome guest artist Alexis Limpiado! She is a Philippine-born artist now based in Frederick, MD. Studio B is always fun with their inventive artists as is Waverly Street Gallery where we will finish. If there's interest, we can grab a bite at Andy's Pizza. (USA plays its first World Cup match at 9 pm.) Want to find out what's on exhibit at each location? Visit this [website](https://www.bethesda.org/bethesda-art-walk/) to learn more!

Join us for an afternoon of connection, conversation, and creative community! Whether you're an artist, musician, writer, performer, maker, entrepreneur, or simply someone who enjoys being around creative people, you're welcome to join us. Creative work can be deeply personal, but many of us grow further when we're supported by a community. This gathering is an opportunity to connect with fellow creatives, share what you're working on, exchange ideas, celebrate wins, and encourage one another along the way. There is no formal agenda—just a relaxed opportunity to gather, connect, and be inspired. Feel free to bring: • A project you're working on • An upcoming event to share • Questions, ideas, or creative challenges • A friend who would enjoy the community Feel free to bring a snack or beverage to share if you'd like, but your presence is what matters most. Come for the entire gathering or just stop by for a bit—whatever works best for your schedule. Musicians and performers are welcome to share works in progress if they'd like. The space includes two pianos and an organ, as well as some basic audio/video recording equipment. If you anticipate needing any specific equipment or setup, please mention it when you RSVP. **Saturday, June 27** **3:30 PM** Please RSVP so we know how many to expect. Address will be provided upon RSVP. Looking forward to seeing both familiar and new faces!
