Our Mission
Our mission is to use the power of community to coordinate a network of services, resources, and opportunities in order to develop a toolbox that better equips musicians and music professionals so they can thrive amidst the dynamic shifts of the music industry.
Introducing: The Backstage Boost Fund
In response to the growing needs of our local music community, we’re launching a new need-based initiative with a bold, clear goal:
Raise $10,000 by year-end to ensure DMV musicians can access the tools, spaces, and opportunities essential for their craft, which then provides income for the industry professionals who support them.
Your generosity can support things like:
- Rehearsal space
- Studio time
- Music lessons
- Equipment repairs
- Community workshops
- Creative projects waiting to be seen and heard
