In order to follow prevailing health guidance and prioritize the well-being of our Girls Rock! DC participants, we are not holding in person programs this year. Instead, we had an incredible virtual Summer Camp and a Fall virtual workshop series! We know that when times get tough, we turn to the arts, and so we’re committed to continue holding space for DC’s young folks to express themselves, create, collaborate, and build something beautiful together!
Our youth engaged with local teaching artists on subjects like Songwriting, Protest Percussion, Block Printing from Home, Using Soundtrap, Abolition and the Arts, Music Entrepreneurship and much more! During lunchtime, campers watched virtual concerts featuring some of the DMVs coolest artists and bands! Cinema Hearts, Dutchie Dutch, Clear Channel, Lightmare, and DJ Geena Marie also offered Q&As where campers asked about everything from the business of music to songwriting techniques.
Girls Rock! DC is facilitating free online workshops and events for youth throughout the year! We’ll be covering art, music, social justice, and all kinds of fun topics. Want to lead or suggest a workshop? Email us!
