Excerpt

When it opens June 22, the Anacostia Arts Center will make a single square mile of historic Anacostia one of the most arts-centric districts in the city. The latest project from Arch Development—which also runs Honfleur Gallery, Gallery at Vivid Solutions, and business “incubators” Hive I and II—offers five new galleries, a black box theater, a rehearsal space and yoga studio, and a cafe and restaurant at the back, which will be run by the people behind Petworth’s  Domku . “A lot of people asked us why we didn’t put the cafe up front,” says Arch founder and CEO  Duane Gautier . “But part of our purpose is to bring people in, so they can see the art.”
