Arts & Culture

Theater, music, dance, film, painting, sculpture … DC is an exciting city for arts and culture, and Georgetown partners with some of the city’s best cultural organizations to produce groundbreaking work. Not only do you have DC’s world-class art institutions right on your doorstep, you’ll find endless opportunities to immerse yourself in the university’s lively campus arts scene, too.

“That openness led me to find community, most meaningfully through Ballet Folklórico Mexicano De Georgetown. The club was open-access, with no auditions or lengthy applications, just open practices and the opportunity to interact with parts of my culture I had not fully explored.”

“I want the play to move people, but it’s really what can happen next. This work, it’s not partisan work. It’s not about people’s opinions. It’s not about who’s right and who’s wrong. It connects people at a human level, and I think that can build a powerful foundation.”

“Georgetown Rangila became the highlight of my semester and pulled me out of all of the typical highs and lows of college life. I can’t wait to participate in Rangila again!”
