Story District is THE place to be. And it’s our NEW NAME! We just started the process, so it will take a while to get all our ducks in a row, but we are excited to get a new look and a fresh start. 

Our big kickoff party will be on August 1, 2015 at Town Danceboutique (home of our monthly show since Sept 2009). Save the date because it’s going to be off the chain -- with artists, community partners, performances, booze,  dancing and every possible coming-of-age celebration we can think of rolled into one epic night. 

Thanks to an UPSTART capacity building grant from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, we’ve been able to assemble talented and dynamic team.  We are working on putting all the pieces together to get our new look and get the message out to the masses.
