2009 Annual Report

The Cultural Development Corporation creates opportunities for artists and arts organizations that stimulate economic development and improve the quality of life. We envision the arts driving economic and community development as an integral part of DC’s vibrant metropolitan area.

Current programs fall in four main categories:

Advocacy & Consulting — We champion arts and cultural investment that benefits Washington-based artists and arts organizations and the neighborhoods where they reside. Hence, we support real estate development efforts that appropriately incorporate arts and culture components. We offer consulting services to developers, architects, owners, government agencies and other real estate professionals on developing space for arts uses.

Facilities Planning — We provide individual technical assistance to artist groups and cultural organizations to help in every stage of the facilities planning process.

Management Services — We provide the tools to help artist entrepreneurs and cultural organizations become healthy, independent businesses. The Business Center at Flashpoint provides one-on-one technical assistance, workshops & seminars, and discussion forums that encourage professional and institutional growth.
