The mission of Docs In Progress is to give individuals the tools to tell stories through documentary film to educate, inspire, and transform the way people view their world. Documentary films engage us in history, folklore, culture, and ideas while deepening the public’s experience, understanding, and appreciation for documentary as a form of expression, historical documentation, and visual literature.
While the arts have faced cutbacks in many schools, Artivate ensures that creativity has a place to grow and flourish. Since 1995, through alliances with artists, arts organizations, museums, community-based groups, and service agencies, it has brought culturally diverse programs – in theater, dance, drawing, and singing – directly to DC-area schools and communities, including public libraries, schools, botanical gardens, museums, and theaters. Our School and Community Outreach program works with schools and other community organizations to design and plan programs.
