Transformer invites you to Collector's View 2011, our 4th annual spring series of special receptions viewing the private collections of a select and diverse group of DC's leading contemporary art collectors.
Through the generosity of our Collector's View hosts, this series highlights the relationship collectors have with artists, the role they play in building artists' careers, and their impact in supporting healthy arts communities. Guests will be privy to learn, from an insider's perspective, the motivations, interests and passions of these dynamic collectors on the work they collect.
Each View in the series promises to be as unique as the collectors and collections themselves – with personal anecdotes on how certain works were acquired, how collections have been shaped, and which artists the collectors are currently considering. Light fare and libations will be served at each event.
Participation in the Collector's View series is $75 dollars per person for each view. Transformer is offering a special discount package of $250 for registration of all four "views" in the 2011 series. New this year - purchase of the entire view package also includes complimentary attendance to "bonus views" being developed.
All donations via the Collector's View series are fully tax-deductible, and will directly benefit Transformer and our 2011/ 2012 Exhibition Series.
Participation in this special series is limited. To register now for Transformer's 2011 Collector's View Series, please contact Alison Konecki at alison@transformergallery.org or 202.483.1102.
