Touchstone Foundation for the Arts (TFA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to enriching community life through the visual arts. TFA has worked with Touchstone Gallery for more than 15 years. Among its creative activities, TFA has partnered with organizations such as the Embassy of the Congo, Art All Night, Miriam’s Kitchen and New Community ArtSpace to provide space and support for art exhibitions.

A keystone project is the TFA Emerging Artist Fellowship, which provides emerging artists mentoring, support, and exhibition opportunities at Touchstone Gallery. The three Fellows for 2025-26 are: Jazz Williams, Brittany Mona’, and Jonathan Fuentes.

The Foundation also sponsored two student exhibitions in 2025: Echoes of Tomorrow (February 2025), which was a juried all media exhibition for artists aged 14-22, as well as Summer in the City, a pop-up exhibition for high school students that was coordinated by the Touchstone Bloomberg Arts Interns (rising high school seniors).

The TFA also participated in a socially engaged community night for DC’s Art All Night, featuring artist Daryle Locko. We’re excited to continue with a robust programming calendar for 2026, including Fellowship applications.

As a non-profit organization, TFA relies on donations to support our programs and activities. Thank you for your generous support!
