The PARTICIPANTS
AND MANY MORE !!!!
The Kennedy Center's Inaugural Culture Caucus
Culture Caucus is a group of 20-30 individuals and organizations based in the DC area. They have worked with the Social Impact team over the past two and a half years to produce a variety of events, the majority of which occurred 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. The Kennedy Center 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.

John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
@TheREACH
2700 F Street NW, WDC
The Kennedy Center (considered the national arts center) serves as the official home for the National Symphony Orchestra and the Washington National Opera. It also plays host to a range of ticketed events, including Broadway productions, dance performances, comedy shows, and a range of concerts, which come from internationally known groups.
The Kennedy Center offers a place where the community can engage and interact with artists. The recently opened (2019) REACH expansion combines needed rehearsal and educational spaces with a range of flexible indoor and outdoor areas. The design merges architecture with the landscape to expand the dimensions of a living memorial.
