Transformer celebrates our 20th anniversary in 2022/23 with programming that highlights the incredible community of emerging visual artists we serve, as well as our expanding collaborators, supporters, and audiences that have helped us become an internationally recognized leader in the contemporary visual arts field.

Over the last twenty years, Transformer has advanced innovative cultural production through extensive and comprehensive support of exceptionally talented and thoughtful artists who continue to challenge and impact evolving cultural and social systems. Developing innovative, multi-faceted exhibition and program platforms, both independently and through global partnerships, Transformer presents artists’ evolving ideas and work, advancing new and best visual arts practices, and engaging audiences with emerging contemporary art.

In celebration of our accomplishments and those of the artists we serve, Transformer is honored to present several new initiatives including: Transformer20 – a large-scale exhibition at the GW Corcoran School of the Arts & Design historic Flagg Building on view November 11 – December 10, 2022; Testify! – a series of video testimonials from our expansive community of stakeholders; and – a 20th Anniversary book coming out spring 2023, and so much more!

We invite you to join us in celebrating this special milestone. See below for details.
