This summer, CAH is pleased to host a very talented group of young individuals as part of our summer internship program: Autumn, Aidan, Ainsley, Taylor, Ricardo, and Ani!

[DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities @TheDCArts]

Each of them brings their rich and diverse personal and professional experiences to our agency, and we couldn’t be prouder to have them with us this summer.

A special shoutout also to our communications intern, Ani, for her hard work in designing this creative post!

Our comms director, Indya, attended the hometown screening of “They Fight”, a new sports drama on @hulu and @disneyplus.

Seeing a DC story elevated on the big screen served as a reminder that the most profound investments we can make are in people and local ecosystems. #WeArtDC

Last night, I presented the Key to the City to Cathy Hughes.

She didn’t just build a media empire—she built careers, created jobs, opened doors, and brought generations of people along with her.

She bet on herself, she bet on Black voices, and she bet on Washington, DC.
