Our Mission Statement

The Washington Renaissance Arts & Education Society (WRAES) was formed in 2006 as a 501 (c)3 nonprofit organization. Our mission is to educate and entertain the public through performance, sale of products, and demonstrations of the Renaissance and other similar time periods. Our work introduces  the community to the rich history of our ancestors so that after we light the spark they will continue to look for other avenues to learn more about this exciting time in history.
