OP plans to create Arts and Culture Temporiums in four emerging creative neighborhoods where vacant and/or underutilized storefronts and empty lots would be transformed into an artist showcase/village for 3-6 months. The target neighborhoods are: Anacostia, Brookland, Deanwood, and Central 14th Street, NW. The goal is to find 2-4 blocks with both vacant/underutilized buildings and empty lots in close proximity that could be completely transformed and promote artist entrepreneurship and community building in the process. > OP is partnering with ARCH Development Corporation to implement the Arts and Culture Temporium project in Anacostia. .
