Washington Performing Arts is a longstanding performing arts organization based in Washington, DC, that engages artists, audiences, students, and civic life. It presents a broad range of art forms across venues—from concert halls and clubs to public parks—featuring renowned symphony orchestras as well as emerging artists in classical music, jazz, and international genres. The organization prioritizes sustained artist involvement through residencies and education programs and works to connect local artists with wider audiences through partnerships and community initiatives. Beyond live events, it has developed an expanding online and educational presence to address contemporary programming challenges and to foster ongoing connection in a post-pandemic world. The organization has earned national recognition, including the National Medal of Arts and multiple Mayor's Arts Awards from the DC government. In January 2026, Washington Performing Arts announced the launch of The NeuroArts Collective, a collaboration with George Washington University's Milken Institute School of Public Health to advance brain health and social well-being among older adults.
