Since 1998, DC Collaborative has served a critical role in the city’s arts and humanities ecosystem. Whether you are new to the community, a long-time professional, or your work in DC indirectly affects students and families, we invite you to join our community!
Any professional or organization in the DC Metro area that believes the arts and humanities are integral to creating a comprehensive educational experience for DC public school students. We encourage members of diverse backgrounds, professions, and interests, including (but not limited to) teaching artists, arts and humanities organizations, non-profits, for-profits, parents, educators, and government representatives to join.
DC Collaborative has revised its memberships to provide a better experience for our community.
Membership tiers are now curated according to packages of service offerings. All member tiers have been created to support individuals and organizations.
