About BloomBars:

BloomBars is not something you can easily describe. Some have called it an artist and non-profit incubator, performance space, art gallery, theater, dance studio, screening room, youth academy, and center for health, wellness, and community engagement.

They were all correct.

Located in the heart of Columbia Heights, BloomBars serves as a multi-purpose space where community change-makers can bring their visions to life, where neighbors can discover new art, and where transformation occurs.

Tickets are a $15-20 suggested donation, and you can purchase solidarity tickets to help us remove barriers for community members experiencing financial hardship. 100% of proceeds go towards keeping BloomBars doors open.
