Wild Side Media amplifies and champions D.C.’s creative community through celebratory journalism, inclusive experiences and authentic collaborations.

Wild Side Media is a D.C.-based creative collective committed to shedding light on the city’s diversity, vibrancy and hunger for community through artful storytelling, thoughtfully curated events and intentional collaborations.

From the team who reimagined and launched two D.C. area culture publications over the past decade to refocus on the city’s heartbeat — the people who live here — comes a new, bold vision for amplifying local voices.

The Wild Side Collaborator Series

We handpicked a dozen of our frequent collaborators — some of the driving forces behind D.C.’s thriving creative scene — to partner strategically with on what they’re manifesting next in the city. From exploring creative, playful mediums for self-care in a multi-use space to bringing a new level of intentionality to public art activations and temporary experiences, we are here to support their efforts and increase their cultural impact.
