Fusion Festival Returns September 27, 2025!
The future is now — and the Anacostia Arts Center wants to hear your ideas.
As AI reshapes industries and the Arts Center prepares for its most ambitious renovation yet, we’re inviting the community to reflect, reimagine, and reframe what’s next. Enter: Fusion Festival — a dynamic gathering of arts, culture, tech, and entrepreneurship all centered around one powerful theme: Transformation.
Dynamic arts, culture, tech, and small businesses are a fusion of influences drawn from a wide variety of human experiences. On September 27, 2025, experience a full day of carefully curated panels, workshops, and happy hours focused on skill sharing and cultural cohesion.
The inaugural Fusion Festival will celebrate the DMV’s cutting-edge ideas, showcase its most innovative leaders, and challenge the status quo right in our own backyard. Join us for enriching sessions across multiple tracks — each designed to spark innovation, inspire creativity, and foster meaningful connections.
As America approaches its 250th birthday, new pathways for small business owners, thinkers, and creatives are emerging. This year’s theme, Transformation, will challenge us to explore the possibilities — and we want your voice in the conversation.

What role will technology play in building economic mobility and generational wealth?
What’s your vision for the future of Anacostia and beyond?
Whether you’re an artist, entrepreneur, activist, student, or simply a dreamer with a vision, Fusion Festival is your platform. Submit your ideas, explore the future, and help shape what’s next.
