Overview | Entertainment | Venue | Honorary Host Committee | Event Commitee

Located in the heart of DC at 610 F Street, NW right across from the Verizon Center, the Harman Center for the Arts is a brand new, state-of-the-art venue that includes two theaters, a luxurious VIP suite and a beautiful setting for our red carpet Inaugural Ball. We chose this venue as the ideal space to celebrate both a historic moment as well as to showcase the wealth of talent by artists from Africa and its Diaspora. Not to mention easy accessibility (Gallery Place Metro is less than one block away) and the location of several parking garages adjacent to the center. What better place to bring in a new era of change?

Guests will make a grand entrance in the elegant Founders Hall.
