Where creativity and community meet
A premiere destination for events and a collective of creatives, Culture House is dedicated to shining a spotlight on — and creating space for — arts and culture. Culture House exhibits an array of artistic mediums, curates community-based programming, and hosts the area’s coolest weddings and special occasions elevating Washington DC as a vibrant destination and District of Culture™.
We are Culture House.
A Historic Landmark with Forward Vision
Built in 1886, Friendship Baptist Church was among the few buildings left untouched after mid-century urban renewal efforts reshaped Southwest DC. One of the District’s oldest African-American congregations, the building and its mix of eclectic architectural styles serve as a visual reminder of the neighborhood’s roots.
Following a colorful makeover by artist HENSE, the space was reimagined as Culture House (formerly Blind Whino), a bold beacon for creativity and community. Now in our fifth year, we’re eager to meet the city’s desire for locally grown culture and one-of-a-kind visual, musical, culinary, and performance art experiences.
