We have transformed an abandoned street car station in Washington, DC’s Historic Dupont Circle Neighborhood.
With 15,000 square feet of exhibition and performance space, we are a home for art, culture, design, and civic discourse.
Join us in our 125 seat theater for a play, concert, or a musical act.
Join us on our red stage for poetry, speaker’s series, DJ sets, and talks.
Check out our exhibitions along the 300 foot projection wall and the curve of the original trolley tracks.
We appreciate you.
The team at DU is a small team and we rely on the

arts platform as we steward a
historic space and make community and culture.
