Artomatic is a month-long multimedia arts event that draws together visual artists, musicians, and performers, and brings their work to the community without charge. Originally conceived as a way to break down the geographical and social segmentation of the Washington arts scene, the organization provides a forum for all of the area's artists to convene, perform, and exhibit, bringing art directly to the public.
In addition to strengthening the visibility, cohesion, and marketplace of Washington's arts community, Artomatic works to build an audience for the arts and helps to focus attention on the need for living and working space for artists. It also embraces all cultural stakeholders to collaborate in the temporary transformation of vacant space into an arts-driven creative place every other year.

Testimonials
“The DC Jazz Jam has provided a tremendous boost to DC’s indigenous jazz scene. [The] cadre of fine musicians at Dahlak have managed to create a warm, inviting, encouraging, and creative environment at their weekly jam sessions, which is no small accomplishment. Experienced professionals, like myself, attend the jam to relax, stretch out musically, and network with other players. But at the same time, the DC Jazz Jam has proved to be the perfect setting for younger talent to come out, and have some of their first experiences playing in front of an audience and to learn their craft in the laboratory of a nurturing jam session. In this manner, the DC Jazz Jam is but the latest chapter in Washington’s long history with America’s classical music, jazz.”
