Arts Hotel to Displace Homegrown DC Artist Community
Union Arts D.C., an artist-run studio and music venue, is facing displacement due to a development project by D.B. Lee Development & Construction and Brook Rose Development. The developers plan to replace the current building with a boutique arts hotel, preserving only the facade of the original structure. Musician Luke Stewart, a tenant at Union Arts, has been vocal about the negative impact of this change, characterizing the development as commercialization for tourists. Stewart and other tenants have formed the Artists Union to fight for the preservation of affordable studio and performance space. They have campaigned against the development, aligning their efforts with broader social justice movements in D.C. Despite the challenges, Stewart remains optimistic and committed to staying in D.C. to build a community around experimental music and social ideas.
