ArtsCentric started with a dream in 2003, when the founders dreamed of creating more performance opportunities for young African-American artists like themselves. What began as a dream slowly morphed into an experiment: a core group of young artists armed with talent and fresh ideas, committed to producing and performing. ArtsCentric forged partnerships and relationships with Baltimore/D.C. area organizations which paved the way for what would become the fiber of ArtsCentric’s mission and model: providing entertainment that is color-conscious, community-oriented, educational and enriching.
