Cultural Development Corporation (CuDC) is a nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC. We create space and build the capacity of artists to prosper within that space.

CuDC ensures the continuing creation of affordable spaces for artists to live and work, but we do more than that. Each year CuDC serves 5,600 artists, 75 arts organizations and touches over 150,000 greater DC metro area residents by providing space, funds, knowledge, marketing, advocacy and presentation opportunities.

Through our programs, such as Flashpoint, Source and the Creative Communities Initiative, we work with artists and arts organizations to build the creative infrastructure that fuels the arts and economy in Washington, DC.
