In the 22nd iteration of Transformer’s annual Exercises for Emerging Artists program, E22: Glass for Social Justice explores glass as a medium for symbolism, storytelling, and social commentary. Spanning ten sessions over four months at The Washington Glass School, E22: Glass for Social Justice brings together 4 DC based artists - Arden Colley, C.S. Corbin, Tina Villadolid, and Nilou Kazemzadeh with lead mentorship by Tim Tate to create glass pieces presented in the culminating summer exhibition: A Litany for Survival ( July 26 - September 6, 2025).

Launched in March 2004, Transformer’s annual is a peer critique & mentorship program created to support DC based emerging artists at critical points or crossroads in their professional growth and creative development.

This annual spring mentorship program acts as an accelerated MFA course for DC area based artists, providing them with intensive, bi-weekly peer and mentor critiques led by local, national and international arts leaders as they create new work.
