Dupont Underground
Dupont Underground is an arts organization transforming 15,000 sqft of open abandoned space under Dupont Circle into a platform for creative exchange and contemporary arts in our vibrant city.
We are committed to developing a multidisciplinary platform for creative expression and strive to reflect the diversity of our community – both artists and audiences. We endeavor to host projects and work that might not be an easy fit in more conventional venues.
Mission
Dupont Underground’s mission is to inspire and strengthen thought-provoking dialogue among local artists, designers, and the community and facilitate inspiring meetings between the local arts community and international contemporary art and culture worldwide.
Vision
Dupont Underground’s vision is to utilize this special landmark to showcase DC's cultural identity, connect local and international arts communities, and amplify the voice of BIPOC, independent and upcoming talent in the District.
