RESIDENCY - SUMMER 2024
EXHIBITION - SPRING 2025
“I‘m incredibly thrilled to share in the mission of connectivity and community building through art. As an artist, the systems in which we often exist can feel exclusionary and siloed from our larger society. ”
“CulturalDC creates space for artists who work in unconventional ways to engage directly with audiences in a more collaborative and generative way. I could not be more excited to join this visionary organization as a resident artist.”
CulturalDC supports innovative artists across all disciplines and makes their work accessible to diverse audiences.
We provide unconventional space for relevant and challenging work essential to nurturing vibrant urban communities.
Mobile Arts Program
CulturalDC’s Mobile Arts Program breaks down the barriers to art often found in traditional presenting venues. We offer the ideal space for nationally and regionally prominent artists to engage with audiences in new, exciting ways. The Mobile Arts Program offers an artistic dialogue on national, local and grassroots levels.
Artspace Development
As part of our mission to make space for art, CulturalDC provides consulting services to research, design, and implement creative placemaking initiatives including art installations, artist housing, feasibility planning, creative space development, and public art.
Source
Source’s 150-seat black box is vital to the area’s small and medium-sized arts organizations because the space is intimate, flexible, and affordable. CulturalDC purchased the building in 2006 and Source now provides a classroom, rehearsal studio, and administrative space.
