The Home Rule Music and Film Preservation Foundation hosts special live musical performances at the HR Records Shop and film events and movie nights at The Parks at Walter Reed in Washington, DC. We offer workshops, classes and hands-on experience to youth so they can develop confidence and skills in music production, audio production, filmmaking, photography, and graphic design. The Home Rule Music and Film Preservation Foundation supports policy and legislation that expands funding and opportunities for Washington, DC’s cultural arts programs, arts in public spaces, and community arts and music festivals that unite the community together. We argue that collaboration between local government, the business community and cultural organizations is an essential driver for economic opportunity, and to enhance the city’s creative vibrancy and heritage. We also support additional funding for more music and arts education classes including dance, music, theater, media arts, and visual arts in the DC Public School system.
