We’re dedicated to creating a home for small businesses, artists, arts and cultural organizations to fulfill our commitment to the revitalization and sustainable economic development of Historic Anacostia.

As the Anacostia Arts Center temporarily closes for a renovation-- we're proud to continue to operate programmatically in partnership with our neighbors. The improvements to the Anacostia Arts Center are not just limited to its physical space. Since acquiring the building and assuming operations in 2021, the Washington Area Community Investment Fund (WACIF) has gained an intimate understanding of the challenges local entrepreneurs are facing and its position in the community. Having test piloted programmatic initiatives such as the Creator’s Academy, Afro House, and the Fusion Festival, WACIF intends on expanding on such efforts through strategic partnerships to collaborate on programs and events aimed at increasing access to capital, resources, and networks for the entrepreneurs we serve, while remaining accessible to the community.
