Touchstone Foundation for the Arts (TFA) is a nonprofit tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization created by the artists of Touchstone Gallery in order to increase their engagement with the community around them.

TFA created the TFA Fellowship for Emerging Artists. The fellowship is open to DC area artists and is designed to help emerging artists to develop professionally through a two-year membership at Touchstone Gallery, mentoring by established artists, participation in gallery group shows, and a culminating solo exhibition at the end of the two year fellowship.

Other programs engage the greater Washington-area community and non-traditional artists.
