Mission

The Partnership presents vibrant artistic, cultural and educational offerings at Glen Echo Park and promotes the Park as a unique destination for our region's diverse population. It nurtures a dynamic community of artists and performers while preserving and managing historic facilities within a National Park.

What We Do

The Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture, Inc. manages Glen Echo Park, one of the most lively visual and performing arts sites in the Washington, DC area. Each year, 400,000 people come to the Park to renew their creative spirit through arts classes, festivals, exhibitions, dances, children's theater, music performances, nature programs, and more.

Established by Montgomery County, MD in 2002, the Partnership is a nonprofit organization charged with managing Glen Echo Park's arts programs and facilities, including its historic buildings.

The Partnership works with resident artists and organizations to develop distinctive arts programming; operates the historic Dentzel carousel and the Spanish Ballroom; presents an extensive social dance program; produces festivals and special events; conducts fundraising and marketing; and manages and maintains all facilities.
