The Anacostia Arts Center is a multi-use arts space located at 1231 Good Hope Road SE in the Anacostia Historic District of Washington, D.C. Anacostia Arts Center, also known as the AAC, is a home for the arts, culture, and small businesses, where the physical space is used to employ and nourish the local arts and creative economy. Within the Anacostia Art Center, community members will find our Black Box Theater, a café, and a lounge area. On the lower level, you will meet the entrepreneurs participating in the co-working space, The HIVE, dedicated to supporting and employing the local arts and creative economy.
The arts center was acquired by the Washington Area Community Investment Fund (Wacif), a non-profit community development financial institution, in December 2021. The space will continue to honor the AAC's importance to the creative economy, providing resources for small businesses alongside an expanded Black Box Theatre, a marketplace, and co-working and art gallery spaces.[1]
