Capitol Hill Arts Workshop in Washington, DC 20003

Capitol Hill Arts Workshop (CHAW) offers families a multitude of ways to learn to express themselves through the visual arts, dance, music, and theatre. CHAW offers classes for children and adults in many artistic disciplines, as well as tumbling and tae kwon do. Infants and toddlers can shake maracas with their mamas in the popular toddler music class.

CHAW offers an after school arts package for kids ages five to 12, which consists of a jam packed arts curriculum every afternoon of the week. Parents can arrange to have children picked up from school and taken directly to CHAW.

Each summer, the workshop offers a series of two-week summer camps, building the arts curriculum around a greater theme, such as the environment or different cultures.

CHAW sponsors a theatre company, music and dance performances, and art shows that feature local artists. Affiliates include the Capitol Hill Youth Chorus, which provides professional instruction in vocal musical performance for kids in grades one through three and four through eight. The Youth Chorus is an open, inclusive community chorus. There are no auditions.
