artist studios

Monroe Street Market

We are working with Bozzuto Development and Abdo Development to activate 27 artist studios, an Arts Walk and a multi-use arts space in the Edgewood Arts Building at the new Monroe Street Market development near the Brookland/CUA metro. The artist studios range in size from 300-625 square feet, are complete with garage doors and concrete floors and will provide artists with ground floor visibility. The 3000 square foot flexible arts space in the Edgewood Arts Building will serve as a hub for community events and activities, readings, rehearsals and workshops. An Arts Walk with a seasonal outdoor market will showcase artists and artisans and an outdoor stage will feature live performances. The artist studios and other arts components are slated to open in the summer of 2013.

The deadline for phase-one proposals was February 1st at 5PM. If you missed the deadline, but are still interested in a studio, CulturalDC will continue to accept proposals on a rolling basis, and will add these artists to a waiting list. Artists whose applications were submitted by the initial deadline will be given first priority in the selection process.
