Fillmore Arts Program Set to Close, Again


The Fillmore Arts Center, based in Hardy Middle School at 1819 35th St. NW, is again facing closure at the end of the school year. Interim DCPS Chancellor John Davis said the issue was arts equity. Students from Hyde-Addison, Key, Reed, Ross and Stoddert elementary schools take their arts classes at Hardy. Other D.C. public schools offer their own programs in their own buildings. More information is available on the website of Friends of Fillmore, which continues to oppose the decision.
