By offering arts groups affordable space and services in lieu of large cash grants, Arlingon Cultural Affairs has fostered one of the most vibrant arts scenes in the DC metropolitan area. By creatively using its status as a government body to leverage resources for the arts, the County demonstrated that artists and government can work together, and transformed its own cultural landscape in the process. The first and only arts organization to win the Innovations in American Government Award from Harvard University and the Ford Foundation, Arlington Cultural Affairs is now a national model for regional arts support. Arlington Cultural Affairs provides programs and services that build community and transform lives by enhancing enjoyment and understanding of, and participation in, the arts. The unit is a Division of the Arlington County Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources.

A message from Avant Bard:
Founded in 1990 as Washington Shakespeare Company, Avant Bard Theatre is a performing arts organization dedicated to producing classic works — both time-tested and contemporary - emphasizing a provocative, bold approach in an intimate setting, and showcasing the best-emerging talent in the region mentored by seasoned, professional theatre artists. Avant Bard’s mission is expressed through its commitment to artistic excellence, collaboration, talent development, and educational and social outreach. For our 30th Anniversary Season, we announced an ambitious slate of productions, including our Spring Repertory, featuring Tennessee Williams’ masterpiece Suddenly Last Summer and Ada and the Engine by Lauren Gunderson. On March 13, we had to make one of the most difficult decisions in our thirty-year history: we decided to cancel our long-anticipated Spring Rep, out of an abundance of caution and concern in light of the COVID-19 outbreak. We did this to protect artists and audiences alike, knowing full well that it meant eliminating two-thirds of our 30th Anniversary season. This loss of box office income from our Spring Rep-along with production expenses already incurred or committed—only adds to our sense of shock over these unprecedented developments. In these difficult times, we ask for your help in making sure all actors, directors, designers, and other artists get paid for their work on the Spring Rep. Through no fault of their own, these fine people’s work never reached the wide audience it deserves, and we feel the least we can do is honor their contracts by paying them fully. This will be difficult for Avant Bard, especially in light of the lost income from the Rep, but we are committed to doing so, to help these artists and their families in some small way during this difficult time. It’s the right thing to do. Your donation at this crucial moment will ensure that Avant Bard keeps its commitment to the artists and crew members who bring our productions to life. Our goal is to make up at least what we lost in box office income for the Spring Rep—approximately $28,000. Any amount helps!

Here is something that came up on the Kojo show recently: An artist without studio space is a "former artist." Art creation space has been neglected in DC Metro area cultural plans. DC government has been more concerned with arts presentation space, which now serves touring artists from elsewhere. 3 decades of DC cultural policy has effectively exported DC artists and imported artists from other jurisdictions. Mike Licht – Washington DC
Those trips to San Francisco and Ashland were wonderful for all of us. Awards for regional theater were hung with pride in the Ashland lobby. Our annual trips there in May of each school year were financed by hard- working students, who paid only for their own food. Many equity actors performed excellent plays, both Shakespeare and contemporary productions. I have fond memories of those artistic adventures too. Thanks,Carlos, for reminding me of those enjoyable times. Diane Howard
