WHOA somehow I missed the sale of Culture House!! They shared June 18th:

“Hi there! We’ve got some news.

In June 2025, National Community Church purchased Culture House.

The church plans to continue offering Culture House as an art exhibit space and event venue, adding church and community events to the mix. The new owners also plan to retain the property’s iconic murals on the exterior and in the upstairs ballroom.

While multiple gallery directors have facilitated Culture House exhibitions, Cicie Sattarnilasskorn has been stewarding artists and projects within the space since January 2022.

In honor of all that has gone into Culture House so far, we will be running a retrospective of projects and programs in our stories now through June 25, 2025.

Everyone, show us your favorite moment at or in the space!

Artists and activators who have activated this space, show us something!”

Imagine a celebration inspired by an enchanting fae world, where the line between fantasy and reality dissolves in a tantalizing dance performance and party. Step into the House of Mist as you admire the stunning murals and artwork at the Culture House DC.

Dancers will embody the grace and power of the fae courts, their movements a seductive blend of beauty and danger. Local DMV artists will dazzle you with a mix of aerial, burlesque, bollywood, and contemporary dance performances.

As the final notes linger in the air, DJ Glen North ignites the party with guests sweeping onto the dance floor in opulent fae attire. The night pulses with laughter and music, a celebration of unity and imagination, where you can lose yourself in the world you adore, if only for a night.
