As we progress through 2022, we strive to:
  • Support and invest in individuals at the cutting edge of their fields, whose work impacts the cultural landscape at large.
  • Encourage hundreds of artists to explore their ideas and work within the context of the MidAtlantic region.
  • Bring a community of artists to the MidAtlantic region and create opportunities for engagement and cross-cultural exchange with audiences.
