Art of Transformation 2025 – Thank You!

Thursday, September 18, 2025 | 6:00-8:00 pm |📍 True Reformer Building

Our annual signature event celebrated creative healing, community, and positive change.

Highlights included over 100 original artworks by our clients, a performance from our Dance/Movement Therapy program, and an inspiring evening at the historic True Reformer Building. Proceeds from artwork sales supported McClendon Center’s mission to enhance the health and well-being of DC’s most vulnerable residents.

Special thanks to the Public Welfare Foundation for generously hosting Aot 2025 at the historic True Reformer Building.
