Commissioners reported a meeting with go-go community leaders and the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation to explore touring funding and regional touring opportunities for go‑go artists and organizations.

A commissioner identified as the matrix commissioner reported April 21 that CEH and go-go stakeholders met with representatives including Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation to discuss preserving and elevating the go-go music tradition and to explore touring and partnership opportunities.

"The room buzz with conversational legacy, ownership, organization, even everyone energized to raise the move the culture forward," the commissioner said, describing the session and a planned private tour of the Go-go Museum. Commissioners and staff said the partnership could open regional touring dollars and provide introductions to funders with touring expertise. One commissioner noted Midland (Mid-Atlantic Arts) has limited direct grants to DC historically and said building a relationship could broaden touring support.

CEH staff and commissioners framed the meeting as an early step to expand go-go artists' regional touring and touring-funding access. The commission also referenced upcoming convenings tied to go-go preservation and promotion work.

CEH said staff will continue engagement with Mid-Atlantic Arts and other partners to develop touring pathways and explore technical assistance and funding options for go-go artists.
