Arts and Letters

Guided by the mission of Delta Sigma Theta’s National Commission of Arts and Letters, which was established in 1973 by 15th National President Lillian P. Benbow and co-chaired by Honorary Members Leontyne Price and Lena Horne, the Arts & Letters Committee of the Federal City Alumnae Chapter uses the arts as a powerful tool to educate, inspire, and transform communities.

Honoring Delta’s commitment to service and social action plans and implements work designed to celebrate, preserve, and advance Black creativity, culture, and intellectual expression. Through innovative programming and strategic partnerships, the committee uplifts the arts in all forms — literature, music, visual and performing arts — while promoting literacy, cultural awareness, and community engagement. Our initiatives amplify Black voices, support Black authors and artists, and create meaningful opportunities for members and the broader community to connect through storytelling, service and artistic excellence.

We aim to honor and celebrate the legacy of Black artistry while nurturing the next generation of creators, thinkers, and leaders.
