Culture Caucus

The Culture Caucus is a cohort of individuals and organizations, based in the D.C. area. The Caucus is an incubator and residency program for culture makers. Representing an ecology of cultural practice whose foothold is in the performing arts, the Caucus includes high aptitude entities that are working in other areas. ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵÃâ·Ñ°æapp seeks to grow a more empowered ecology of culture producers that have a sense of belonging and agency at the Center. We wish to make the REACH a creative home for the Caucus and for their carried constituencies. The Caucus works in coordination with Social Impact team to produce a variety of events, the majority of which occur at the REACH.

Community is earned through honor and trust. We have invested heavily in creating an architectural olive branch to our community, but how do we begin to initiate a culture of invitation? How do we imbue our campus addition with a sense of home? How does the Kennedy Center systemically earn its place among new communities?

The REACH affords us the opportunity to honor ‘everyday citizens’ in new ways. In alignment with the world’s greatest artists, programming in the REACH reflects the active intelligence of culture makers of all stripes and vocations. The REACH intersects the functional with the sublime…it is a place where our community has its needs met while also having its imagination fed. ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵÃâ·Ñ°æapp Culture Caucus is an assembly of DC individuals, organizations, and initiatives that we honor, financially support, and hold space for in our programming of the REACH. The Culture Caucus is our means of curating community. It reflects our evolving belief that we can be a leader of social practice and creative community empowerment as well as the nation’s beacon for the performing arts.
