ArtsCentric started with a dream in 2013, when the founders dreamed of creating more performance opportunities for young African-American artists like themselves. What began as a dream slowly morphed into an experiment: a core group of young artists armed with talent and fresh ideas, committed to producing and performing. ArtsCentric forged partnerships and relationships with Baltimore/D.C. area organizations which paved the way for what would become the fiber of ArtsCentric’s mission and model: providing entertainment that is color-conscious, community-oriented, educational and enriching.

​

Today, ArtsCentric emerges as a 501(c)3 nonprofit theater company. We produce four to five innovative productions of traditional, contemporary and original musicals, plays, and concert works per season. In addition to our main stage productions, ArtsCentric holds two summer institutes for aspiring young artists, and offers arts training courses through ArtsCentric Academy's virtual and in-person classes. Ultimately, ArtsCentric strives to positively impact a broad and diverse audience base, and uphold high standards of quality entertainment, while using the arts to inform, change, and enhance lives, one audience at a time.
