Peace of Art DC is an artistic leadership program of Lighthouse Community Center, located at 5317 East Capitol St. SE Washington, DC 20019. Our mailing address is 5504 Foote St. NE Washington, DC 20019.

Our program is offered to elementary, middle and high school students that live in neighborhoods that are traumatized by gun violence in Washington, DC. We offer artistic expression (filmmaking, music production, theatre, drawing and painting), leadership skills (restorative justice techniques, conflict resolution skills, and ways to make wise friendship choices) and life skills (financial literacy, post-secondary education planning, and entrepreneurship training). We also offer free groceries to underprivileged families in the community.

Peace of Art DC is a safe place for our city’s youth where they can avoid gun violence and learn how to help others do the same. We also provide tutors and mentors for each student so that they excel academically as well as socially, and artistically. While in our program, students get the opportunity to showcase their visual and performing art on a global platform, thanks to our celebrity and industry expert partners.

Peace of Art DC is partnering with Creative Quality Production’s movie, Underground King. 50% of all ticket sales of this movie are donated to us so that we can continue to serve the community.
