Art All Night Planning Committee

Art All Night committee members bring their creative energy, can-do spirit, and love for the arts to plan and produce the annual festival. Volunteers with backgrounds in the visual or performing arts, event planning, volunteer management, community outreach, and marketing welcomed, as well as anyone who wants to roll-up their sleeves and learn what goes into producing a large-scale community event. 

Venue Coordinators

Love planning & details? Enjoy working with artists? Help the Art All Night committee finalize logistical details for one of our Art All Night venues, and be the lead volunteer during the event. Venue Coordinators volunteer 1-2 hours per week in the month prior to the event, and approximately 4 hours on the night of the event, still leaving plenty of time to enjoy the festival.

Volunteer during Art All Night

To make the festival a success, Tenleytown Main Street depends on local assistance of 40 - 50 amazing people with great personalities and a love for the community!  Our night-of volunteers are among our most crucial roles as they provide support to our talented local artists and help festival goers enjoy all Art All Night has to offer. Volunteers for Art All Night will be the first contact for many of the thousands of patrons expected to attend the event. Their critical role will be to provide logistical support to artists and performers and to foster a spirit of helpfulness and hospitality for attendees. With multiple two-hour shifts available, you can volunteer and then explore Art All Night for the rest of the evening.

AU’s Humanities Truck - New Perspective on the New Thing: A Photography Exhibition Documenting DC’s Revolutionary Arts Center, 1966 - 1972

In 1966, Howard graduate student, architect, and filmmaker Colin “Topper” Carew opened The New Thing Art & Architecture Center in the Adams-Morgan neighborhood of Washington, DC. Initially founded to cultivate opportunities for black architects, Carew's vision evolved into a multi-disciplinary organization that hosted hundreds of concerts, workshops, and free classes for the youth between the years of 1966 and 1972. As a "community architect," Carew's herculean efforts in providing arts programming, educating the youth, and building community has had a lasting impact on the fabric of Washington, DC.
