From DC to the world. this is what jazz in motion looks like. 🎷🌍 OCTFME is proud to support DC’s own Herb Scott who is an accomplished saxophonist, Duke Ellington School of the Arts graduate, and winner of the 38th Annual Mayor’s Arts Award for Excellence as a Community Arts Advocate. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 A true champion for DC’s music community, Herb has dedicated his career not only to performance, but to uplifting jazz as a tool for connection, culture, and economic impact both locally and globally. Through a recent OCTFME-supported cultural exchange in South Africa 🇿🇦, Herb carried the sound of DC across borders showcasing the power of jazz to unite communities and amplify the District’s creative voice on an international stage. This is what the creative economy looks like in action: homegrown talent with global reach.

“The World Is Yours.” 🌎☁️✨ One of the most beautiful parts about art is realizing that creativity, collaboration, & community have no borders. Huge shoutout to artist Massa AquaFlow (@massa.aquaflow ), all the way from Okinawa, Japan 🇯🇵 for blessing @hstnedc with this dynamic mural installation centered around letters, clouds, connection, and possibility. It was an honor attending the artist talk @sulodcocktailbar , learning more about Massa’s journey and creative philosophy, and connecting with some dope people doing meaningful work across culture and community! Special shoutout to Kareem El of @4rlapp , a platform centered around intentional real-world connection and bringing people together through shared experiences and community engagement. In a time where so much happens digitally, it’s refreshing seeing people intentionally creating spaces for authentic human connection IRL🤝 Also great connecting with Lyss of @creativekickbackdmv and @sdb_elite ! Love seeing people continue to build bridges across art, culture, wellness, tech, nightlife, and community. This experience was truly a reminder that support and collaboration don’t always have to be local - sometimes they’re global, intergenerational, and rooted in shared vision. 🌍 Different backgrounds, different stories, but same intention💪🏽🙌🏽🎨🌎❤️ And of course, ran into a few homies at the unveiling too (@bpeppersart , to name a few 😂)! Always love seeing the city outside doing positive things. Big shoutout to my work wife @mindbolic of @mindbolicstudios and @sulodcocktailbar for always being the plug! 🍸✨ 👕: @noyawins (Everyday is WINSday)💪🏽🔥 #TheWorldIsYours #HStreetDC #DMVArts #PublicArt #CreativeCommunity
