Design bright futures with Arts on the Block

"Working with AOB is always a wonderful experience. Not only do we help these talented young students advance their business and artistic skills, but we end up with an incredible art statement that starts conversations every time someone views it."

"We worked with Arts on the Block on a project during our renovation of the historic Waterfront Tower in Southwest DC. The collaboration helped showcase the work of talented underserved young people and demonstrated our company’s commitment to the local community. The process, the product and the feedback we’ve received have exceeded our expectations."

"Our experience with Arts on the Block (AOB) was wonderful from start to finish. The mural has received many accolades and patrons find something new to appreciate each time they walk into the library."

“We are so fortunate to have this vehicle for showcasing the gifts of creative young people. When their talents are allowed to shine, everyone benefits."

“Working with Arts on the Block gives us the opportunity to support the arts and arts education in our community and empower youth to pursue creative professions. During the mock interviews, we found the apprentices were all very impressive. We look forward to working with them again next year!”

“Architectural Ceramics values the relationship we have developed with AOB over the years. The apprentices in the program are so impressive, and it is very rewarding for our team to share what they know about creativity, business and professional skills with the next generation of artists. We strongly support AOB’s approach to equipping the apprentices with skills that will help them to turn their artistic talents in to meaningful, profitable, careers.”

"AOB gives our clients a rare opportunity to develop meaningful community connections while providing beautiful public art amenities."

"A few weeks ago, my son who is autistic and I stopped by to learn more about Arts on the Block. The moment we walked into your new offices and studio at the Library, we felt we were visiting long time friends. We both immediately felt so welcome. I can assure you that this doesn't normally happen when you walk in many organizations and I want to thank everyone for your welcoming charm and acceptance of us into your family of caring and passionate people. And thank you for the important and needed work you all do each day."
