As you may know, we've been hosting a series of community stakeholder meetings discussing the potential of bringing an international art fair/festival to Washington DC in 2025. We want to meet with individual artists from the community to discuss this opportunity and how it might impact their livelihood and their art.

Our next Art Week 2025 Community Stakeholder Meeting will be held at the Thurgood Marshall Center (1816 12th St NW) on February 1st from 6 to 8 pm.

There is very limited space for this meeting. Please RSVP to secure a spot. There will be a few spots left for walk-ups but we cannot exceed our event capacity. If you have attended a stakeholder meeting in the past please let someone else get a chance to RSVP.

If you do RSVP and are not able to make it, please email us ASAP as well as release your spot so someone on our waitlist has an opportunity to attend. We understand things can happen at the last second, including personal emergencies.

Please note we're tracking RSVPs and attendance. So if we notice someone is RSVPing and repeatedly not showing up, we will deprioritize their RSVP. And we would need to have a conversation about moving forward about how to better engage them in future stakeholder engagements.

For reasonable accommodation requests regarding access and inclusion, please contact David Markey (david.markey@dc.gov), no later than 5 business days prior to the start of this event.
