    Summary
    The Daisy Wilson Artist Community, Inc.

    dba August Wilson House is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation whose mission is to promote the literary and social legacy of August Wilson through the restoration of his boyhood home at 1727 Bedford Avenue, an arts center to nurture the historic Hill District community and arts practitioners and scholars influenced by his work.

    In order to be a home for an artistic community, August Wilson House will be a compelling and inspired place of cultural celebration, of nurturing future artists and of rehabilitating in body and soul a community celebrated in Wilson's spiritually challenging works.
