In the Gateway Arts District, the artist community is partnering with local businesses, two community development corporations, four cities (Mount Rainier, Brentwood, North Brentwood, and Hyattsville), and Prince George's County to increase regional visibility for the arts district and enliven the two-mile corridor using a mix of temporary and longer term projects to support existing small business, attract commercial in-fill, prepare for a new round of anchor developments and further strengthen the creative community.
