The DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities (DCCAH), DC Creates! Public Art Program would like to invite you to participate in our “Pop-Up Public Art Project” on a donated plot of land at 3rd and H Street, NE is a partnership initiative between DCCAH, the DC Office of Planning and the H Street BID to activate “Interactive H Street”. This initiative will establish a 14-block creative corridor along H Street NE, creating a framework for civic innovation; activation of dormant real estate; and creative business incubation. This project will make a critical contribution toward H Street becoming a destination for arts, business and community experiences in city design.
“Interactive H Street” is inspired by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Mayors’ Institute on City Design (MICD). MICD has helped transform communities through design by preparing mayors to be the chief urban designs for their cities. MICD mayors know that the arts and culture contribute greatly as core components in building livable and sustainable communities. Cities across the country create diverse projects through the support of the MICD program. Projects include planning, design, and arts engagement.
Advisory Panelists
The DC Arts Commission is currently seeking nominations for Advisory Panelists to make funding recommendations for its programs. Artists, administrators, educators and critics in the arts with at least a two year history of involvement in the District's arts community are eligible for nomination. Panelists are appointed for a one year term and may be reappointed for up to three consecutive years, for a maximum of four years. The rotation of advisory panel members ensures that each year will bring varying perspectives to the application review process. Panelists serve on a voluntary basis. Individuals will not be allowed to serve as panelists for programs in which they are applicants.
If you would like to be considered for panelist opportunities, please complete the Advisory Panelist Nomination Form and attach a current copy of your resume.
