Join us for Transformer's 8th Annual Heartbreaker's Ball - celebrating our love of the emerging artist community and works from the FlatFile! This always unique event, presented through continually innovative and playful formats and platforms each Valentine’s Day, is designed to warm hearts and encourage connection with emerging visual art and artists. This year, Transformer is excited to collaborate with DC artist collective Disco Mary to present our Heartbreakers Ball at the new Playhaus DC pop-up art space at The Gables in Union Market.
Transformer's FlatFile consists of works in a variety of two-dimensional mediums including photography, painting, drawing, and printmaking approximately 16x20" in size and smaller and priced at $500 and below. Focused on supporting emerging DMV-based artists, Transformer's evolving FlatFile collection features more than 400 original works.
