Transformer turns 15!

In gallery years, 15 is like a 100! Congrats to Transformer!
Dear Friends of Transformer, 

This summer marks Transformer's 15th year as a unique conduit for emerging visual artists and contemporary art audiences!  

As announced recently in The Washington City Paper, we are celebrating the 'quinceaƱera' of our artist-driven mission to connect & promote emerging visual artists and experimental ideas with the introduction of several exciting projects, and the expansion of our innovative programming.  We are thrilled to share further details of these new initiatives with you here.

We invite you to celebrate these happenings and our 15 year anniversary with us this summer - at our 1404 P Street, NW project space, at the Hirshhorn, and at the beach in Asbury Park, NJ - and to further your support for Transformer as we continue to build distinctive partnerships and opportunities that propel emerging visual artists in their creative and professional development.

Transformer knows we could not do our important work advancing contemporary culture without YOU: our growing community of artists, collectors, donors, arts organizers, emerging contemporary art enthusiasts and friends.  THANK YOU for your continued support!  

We look forward to seeing you this summer!

Victoria Reis
Co-Founder, Executive & Artistic Director

The program investigates contemporary culture through the visual arts, exhibits strong curatorial voices, and encourages the timely examination of new ideas and perspectives.

The New Art Center (NAC) are currently accepting curatorial proposals for 5- to 6-week group exhibitions from September 2018 – May 2019 at the New Art Center in Newton. We will only accept electronic submissions received before June 3, 2017.
