Ward 7 Arts Collaborative

The mission of the Ward 7 Arts Collaborative is to foster awareness of, support for, and participation in the arts among community residents and visitors of all ages, and to preserve and enhance our local community's cultural and entertainment heritage.

The Ward 7 Arts Collaborative provides and supports numerous opportunities for local artists to showcase their work in the ward, the city, and beyond. We sponsor an annual Black History Month arts program organize art exhibits at community meetings and festivals, such as the State of the Ward address and the Chesapeake Bagel Bakery's 10th anniversary celebration and support literary, dramatic, and musical presentations of all kinds. We highlight the works of artists at all levels: student, emerging, and professional.
