From CulturalDC:
“By now, you have likely learned that on August 5, 2025, CulturalDC completed the sale of Source to a qualified buyer for $4.5 million. The building, which had been on the market since October 2024, was sold after a competitive and proactive process in which the Board of Directors tirelessly solicited and prioritized bids from nonprofit organizations with the goal of sustaining the space for DC’s arts and cultural community.
Once news of the sale became public, unfortunately, we started to see false and biased reporting, as well as conversations and criticisms expressed on online platforms that cannot be categorized as anything less than vitriol and bullying.
