Welcome to the District of Columbia Arts Center. This manual has been designed to help make our time here enjoyable for you and for the staff of DCAC. It is our intention to lay out our needs explicitly so that we may
further serve your needs as production time draws nearer for you. To that end, it is important that you understand what DCAC is all about.

DCAC is dedicated to:
1) providing a showcase for emerging and under-recognized artists in the Washington metropolitan area
2) encouraging cross-cultural exchange and participation
3) promoting communication and respect among artists and the community
4) inspiring fresh approaches in artistic development
5) assisting artists in the business of production.

Throughout the week a lot of people use both our theater and gallery space. It's very important that we always respect those who use this space and their needs, and try to make them aware of our own. You are encouraged to dialogue with any other artist(s) or groups who share time and space with you in any manner. It is our experience that the better the communication between individuals and groups, the easier it is for everyone to work together. While this manual contains a lot of information about how we expect you to behave at the DCAC, it does not include our trust that you will exercise basic common sense. We wish you every success with your event
