Open Doors Festival 2024

A blue and yellow graphic with the Open Doors Festival Arts + Disability logo repeated throughout the logo. At the top right, text in blue reads: “Free Performances, Workshops and Arts Market. Friday, October 18, 2024 @ The Kennedy Center and Saturday, October 19, 2024 @ Woolly Mammoth Theatre.” Below the text are logos of Open Circle Theatre, Georgetown University Disability Cultural Center, Extreme Length Productions, Woolly Mammoth, and Story Tapestries. At the bottom of the graphic, the logo of the DC Commission of the Arts is alongside black text that reads: “The Open Doors Festival is made possible thanks to the support of the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities Projects, Events, or Festivals Grant program.”
Join us for an exciting weekend of celebrating Arts and Disability in the DMV area! The 2024 Open Doors Festival will run on October 18th and 19th at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company and The Kennedy Center for performances, art installations, panel discussions, and an arts market, all built around showcasing the work of local disabled artists and inviting and welcoming ALL to embrace and celebrate our culture.

Founded by Open Circle Theatre, this year’s festival is presented in partnership with Story Tapestries, Extreme Lengths Productions, Georgetown University’s Disability Cultural Center and Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, and is made possible thanks to the support of the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities Projects, Events, or Festivals Grant program.
