Located in Columbia Heights at 3222 11th St, NW, 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 are all correct.
Both innovative and old-school wisdom, BloomBars is turning a concept
to unite communities through the arts into a model for energizing and
inspiring communities to strive for personal and collective progress.
Established in 2008 in Washington, DC’s burgeoning Columbia Heights
neighborhood, BloomBars is driven by a volunteer team of artists,
educators, and community and business leaders. Redefining the
perception of a bar, BloomBars does not serve or allow alcohol on its
premises fostering a safe and family-friendly environment.
