A Visionary New Home for Dance Loft on 14
and the Community
a green arts complex in the heart of Ward 4 that can only happen with your support
This 1920’s art-deco building has been a place for the arts for nearly 100 years, and its unique beauty has been part of why we knew this was the place to put down roots in 2015. After nearly a century of deferred maintenance, however, our building’s structural needs are escalating fast — faster than we could ever address or afford.
At the same time, DC faces a crisis of affordable housing, particularly for multigenerational families. So we are undertaking something extraordinary. Dance Loft on 14 has started the process of creating a new home for our artists and for many of our neighbors. Over the course of the last year, we were able to purchase our building, and are now working to create a new mixed-use building with world-class arts and dance spaces on the ground floor and deeply affordable housing, including much-needed 3-bedroom apartments, above.
The new Dance Loft on 14 building includes:
Four Studios
2 Theaters
Theater Lobby
Dance Lobby
ADA Accessibility
Gallery Walls
Dancer Drop-off Points
Public Art
Retail Space
75 Affordable Apartments
Zero-emissions
Certified Green
Our new “Green Arts Complex” will have net-zero carbon emissions, and help achieve the city’s ambitious goals for art space, deeply affordable housing, and climate neutrality. We have chosen acclaimed green building and affordable housing experts Heleos Development as our partner for our project. See more details about the project and leave a suggestion.
