Those seeds grew into a blossoming tree before our eyes, and PicsArt became a wondrous world filled with fantastic edits, drawings and photographs. The more love and sunlight we gave our PicsArt tree, the more beautiful it became, and as we watched our creative community grow and flourish, we noticed an interesting effect taking place on the streets around us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34985\" src=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2018\/11\/IMG_9671-780x520.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"502\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2018\/11\/IMG_9671-780x520.jpg 780w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2018\/11\/IMG_9671-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2018\/11\/IMG_9671-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2018\/11\/IMG_9671-585x390.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our colorful PicsArt tree had become a catalyst for beauty and growth in each and every corner of Armenia. That\u2019s when we created <em>City Zen<\/em>, our commitment to spreading the values we uphold in the art world to the real world around us. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>PicsArt, Meet <\/b><b><i>City Zen<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If PicsArt is our tree, Armenia is the foundation that grounds its roots.
