ARCH is seeking refunding from the District of Columbia to continue their work in Historic Ancostia  and it is very important that they have your support. Without this vital funding ARCH will no longer be able to continue to maintain many of their programs and galleries in Historic Anacostia.  They need our support NOW!   I support the ARCH Development Corporation (ADC) and their nearly twenty years of community service in Historic Anacostia. I would like ADC to continue to host free cultural and artistic events for the community, highlight local artists in their art galleries, provide local entrepreneurs with free technical assistance, provide free housing and work space for local artists, provide jobs to  local residents, and continue to advocate for all the things that make the Historic Anacostia a wonderful place for residents, businesses, and the arts.

 ARCH Development Corporation (ADC) is a nineteen year old not for profit organization based in Historic Anacostia dedicated to the creative revitalization of the community. ADC feels that organized facilities and development programs designed to attract creative community-based organizations can serve as the engine for neighborhood economic development. The ARCH Development Corporation’s projects include Honfleur Gallery, The Gallery at Vivid Solutions, Vivid Solutions DC Print Lab, The Blank Space SE, Eat Shop Live Anacostia and The Hive.

I was just walking past one of the galleries thinking about how empty the streets might look without these programs and my mind immediately went to all your signatures. This whole thing feels so much bigger than just a few buildings now because you are all showing that the heart of this neighborhood matters more than whatever budget meeting is happening behind closed doors.

I was looking at the screen just now and realized how much steam this has gathered which is honestly just wild considering how quiet it felt when I first posted this online. It really hits home seeing how many people rely on the galleries and the programs ARCH keeps running because frankly I worried people might have forgotten why this place matters so much.
