Loading...
Summary
Commission leadership reported delivery of a finalized strategic plan for Art Week DC (staff referred to it in meeting notes) following a stakeholders meeting; commissioners said the plan aims for a 2026 launch with a possible soft launch in 2025 and emphasized not overburdening staff.
The Commission on the Arts and Humanities reported on Jan. 23 that the final strategic plan for Art Week DC has been delivered and reviewed by CAH staff, with further distribution to stakeholders to follow.
Chair Reggie Van Lee said the culminating stakeholders meeting at the Gallup Building drew “hundreds of people, either in person or virtually,” and commissioners described broad interest in the plan developed after interviews and market research. CAH referenced work by consultant Michael Kaiser as part of the planning process.
Commission leadership signaled a target for a full Art Week DC launch in 2026 and said the agency may pursue a limited or “soft” launch in 2025 if feasible. Commissioners emphasized that any role assigned to CAH staff will be calibrated to avoid overloading existing personnel: staff will review the plan internally and determine achievable deliverables and responsibilities with the events team and public arts director before wider release.
The chair said commissioners and staff will continue to coordinate outreach to stakeholders who participated in earlier sessions so those partners are aware of next steps.
