MAKE AN IMPACT YOUR WAY

Our Atlas Presents series connects audiences to diverse and engaging contemporary music from jazz and world sounds. We present film in honor of our heritage including features, documentaries and silent films with live musical accompaniment. Your donation will directly impact art making, helping to offset artist fees and production costs for all Atlas Presents initiatives and presentations.

The Atlas INTERSECTIONS Festival is a performing arts festival that presents work that impacts our society, culture, and world by informing, inspiring, educating, and entertaining. INTERSECTIONS is about presenting excellent art that inspires a connected community, engages artists and audiences alike, and creates a vibrant neighborhood, city, and world. We are interested in unique perspectives and art that connect us to the many facets of our humanity. The Atlas Intersections Festival presents artists that look to explore the ideas and issues of our time through their work. Learn more about Intersections.

City at Peace is a youth development program rooted in social justice for teens and young adults ages 14-24, which provides a safe, collaborative and nurturing space outside of school and other environments where they can examine issues and conditions that divide them. City at Peace uses performing arts as a learning tool to develop skills in dance, theatre, voice and stage production, as well as skills in conflict resolution, personal storytelling, empathy, understanding, and leadership. Your donation helps to offset scholarships for our youth, artist fees for teachers, costumes, set pieces, supplies, and programming fees needed to administer our programming.

Arts for Young Audiences is where our family-based programming brings insightful and entertaining performances to our stages for youth and families alike. Arts for Young Audiences is an important part of our family programming at the Atlas. Shows are dramatically unique and are offered throughout the season. Each year, we partner with the DC Arts and Humanities Education Collaborative to provide field trips for free to thousands of DC Public School and DC Public Charter School children. We celebrate Arts for Young Audiences through our Family Fun Days programming during our annual Intersections Festival. Your donation will directly impact art making, helping to offset artist fees and production costs for all Arts for Young Audiences initiatives and presentations, as well as provide free tickets for field trips to children in our participating DC Public Schools and DC Public Charter Schools.
