DC Creators in collaboration with Markster Con brings to you 

www.afterdarkrva.com

DC Creators was manifested after our founder, Davina Louise, returned from her second trip to Burning Man in 2014. Realizing that everyone is a creator at their core, she partnered with her best friend (Jorge, R.I.P.) to produce creative "POP-UP's" in the D.C. area, "Making the creative process accessible." Team work makes the dream work!

2014

Fast forward, after 5 years of partnership, collaborating with local DMV (DC.MD.NOVA.) communities, in 2019 Co-founder Jorge unexpectedly passed, and in 2020 COVID-19 emerged; So we paused to mourn & reformat our program (Read our story). This soon led to a relocation to Richmond, VA, and an expansion of our community.

2019

In 2021, Davina produced the "DC Creators Network" (in Jorge's honorso we could safely connect away from COVID. She wanted to allow a space for our collaborations to continue online. However, post- pandemic, it has been simplified to focus on our productions, helping our community through "in person" activities & collaborative projects.

2021

In 2023 we started the Body Art Collective, and partnered up with Markster Con Productions to Co-produce creative environments & unique event experiences. We have now expanded our efforts to the creative city of Richmond, starting the community of RVA Creators, determined to "Make the creative process accessible" all across the East-Coast!
