DCMS is a proud grantee of the DC Oral History Collaborative Partnership Grant in support of our oral history project "You Gotta Leave DC to Get Love." It's commonly thought that artists need to leave DC in order to grow creative businesses. Our project addresses this notion, and challenges it by showing the wonderful work being done to help artists succeed in DC.

Without volunteers, DCMS would not be able to conduct many of its programs, raise funds, or serve the DC music industry.
