September 6, 2024
September is here, and that means it’s time to celebrate DC’s vibrant creative spirit with 202Creates! This month, we’re shining a spotlight on the artists, performers, and creators who fill our city with energy and culture. From concerts to film festivals, fashion shows to art installations, 202Creates is a tribute to the talent that makes DC the true creative capital.
DC’s creative scene isn’t just about entertainment; it’s a driving force behind our city’s growth and success. With a $13.8 billion creative economy, the arts are creating jobs, building community, and putting DC on the map as a global leader in innovation.
We're proud that Marvel Studios makes superhero movies here, and that Oscar-nominated actors like Jeffrey Wright were born and raised in DC. And we're especially proud of the creatives who work in our schools and across DC Government and who have studios and businesses in DC.
Explore the exciting opportunities at Learn24's After School in the City 2024, where District youth aged 5-21 can connect with afterschool and out-of-school time (OST) programs for the 2024-25 school year. Sponsored by the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Education and the Learn24 Network, this event offers families a chance to discover diverse learning experiences, jobs, internships, and more!
Dive into the end of summer with your furry friends at the Department of Parks and Recreation’s (DPR) Doggie Day Swim! As the pool season wraps up, DPR is opening four pools just for the pups. Let your dog take a refreshing dip and splash around before we close the pools for the season. Don’t miss this tail-wagging event!
