HumanitiesDC Community Showcase

This year, we’re bringing the energy to a new Southeast location as we continue to spotlight the stories that define the public humanities.
Join us on April 9, 2026, at 6 pm at THEARC for a celebration of bold ideas, even bolder questions, and some powerful stories to go with them. Together, we’ll honor the outstanding work of our 2025 Community, Culture & Heritage grantees. Engage with fellow curious minds as we share the diverse stories and transformative impact of the humanities over the past year.
