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.

1231 Good Hope Road encompassed three buildings at the time, one of which was leased to the discount retail chain Woolworth for much of the 20th century.

Community residents reacted negatively to the job training center as many believed Anacostia did not need another social service agency.

Through this project, Wacif will deliver on its mission to drive economic opportunity east of the Anacostia River and increase programming tailored to entrepreneurs of color.
