"A thriving arts scene is a vital component of any successful mixed-use community,” according to JBGSmith's Andrew VanHorn. Correct! Now @jbgsmith be bold and step up to help Synetic secure a long-term home. 3 years will fly by fast! bisnow.com/washington-dc/new…
We are proud @SyneticTheater made National Landing its home nearly a decade ago and will continue to enrich and inspire our growing community for years to come!

We said it was a busy day, right? What this means for the Cultural Plan timeline is unclear - that plan was originally promised by late summer 2018, then that was revised to fall 2018. washingtoncitypaper.com/news…

Mon. April 9! Come join ArtsActionDC and Councilmember David Grosso and jump into strategy for securing dedicated funding for the DC Commission - DC's state & city arts granting organization @TheDCArts @cmdgrosso tinyurl.com/y7hdpmr8 #artsadvocacy #ofcoursethearts
Huzzah - thank you Maryland! Permanent funding for Metro is good for everyone in the DC metro region. Dedicated funding for the arts would be a great next step - an investment in DC residents doing unique work that can only be done in DC. #artsadvocacy #ofcoursethearts teapawt.net/postlocal/status/97696…
Metro gets third and final ‘yes’ as Maryland commits to its full share of dedicated funding wapo.st/2pyesSQ
Best quote so far from the @councilofdc Committee of the Whole hearing on the @OPinDC proposed Comp Plan amendments: "Methinks the Office of Planning doth protest too much" dccouncil.us/videos #shakespeare #artseverywhere #ofcoursethearts
