The Nicholson Project is a paid artist residency program coupled with a neighborhood garden that works to support artists and serves as a creative and innovative cultural hub. Our vision is to inspire others to use non-traditional arts and community-centered projects as a pathway toward stronger, more vibrant communities.  We seek to serve as a community anchor that celebrates the community’s authentic identity while infusing new vibrancy into Southeast DC. Ultimately, we will harness the power of creative placemaking to strengthen the existing social fabric of the area.
