The DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities provides grant funds, programs and educational activities that encourage diverse artistic expressions and learning opportunities, so that all District of Columbia residents and visitors can experience the rich culture of our city. I advised District of Columbia's grantmaking, policy incentives, key partnerships and programs across arts education and capacity building. I led a portfolio of projects including grants, conferred awards, teacher trainings, and capacity building initiatives, including a $2.5 million economic incentive grant to stabilize cultural contributions of established DC nonprofits.
