Story

Opened in September 2009, The Fridge DC is an art gallery, performance space, music venue and classroom located on Barracks Row in the historic Eastern Market neighborhood of Washington, DC. Our mission is to foster creativity and community dialogue by serving as a conduit for expression through the arts and providing exhibition space to emerging and established artists. From exhibitions by well-known artists to shows by our DC youth, The Fridge is dedicated to making the arts accessible to everyone. As a music venue, The Fridge has supported everything from avante garde jazz ensembles and experimental electronic music to hip hop, blues, folk, and rock concerts. We have played host to a variety of performances- magic shows, comedians, dance, acrobatics, sideshows, poetry slams- and are home to weekly workshops focused on creating public art led by Albus Cavus.
