Editors Description
This is a really hands on gallery for emerging artists. They have a peer critique and mentorship program which acts through  an intensive series of meetings with Transformers staff for participating artists, to  discuss a new body of work, and have that body of work presented at Transformer. How cool is that. They will help young novice artists emerge professionally with there help. They get really high marks for that program.
They also partner with larger art institutions to work on programs which will expand and grow the DC art audience. These guys are doing a lot of fantastic work. Kudos to you.
