ABOUT WE MAKE DC:

WE MAKE DC is a retail and cultural activation in Washington, DC’s Golden Triangle and is a living, multi-dimensional space that brings together the makers, artists, musicians, and storytellers who make this city what it is.

Produced by Shop Made Brands and led by Stacey Price, the project is timed to America’s 250th anniversary and built around a simple conviction: DC’s story belongs to DC.



The activation brings together five interconnected elements:

Retail Space: Featuring Shop Made makers producing new products made in and for DC

MAKE IT BAR: A gathering place anchored in DC craft and creativity

Arts + Music Activations: Programming by local DC partners throughout the space

WE Gallery: A narrative exhibition telling DC’s story across 250 years through the voices of its people

WE LIVE HERE: Activation zone where you can take photos in each ward, pin where you live in the city and leave oral history recording about what you love about DC
