Hello Friends of Tour de Force!
We hope you all have been enjoying the last hurrahs of summer! In this season of transition, we hope you are both seeking new inspiration and finding joy in your originality. To all of our students and educators, we wish you a prosperous academic year! Introducing our September grantee: The Don’t Be a Bully Project Spearheaded by Connie St. John, DBAB Project seeks to reduce instances of youth bullying and suicide rates through entertainment. Students perform musicals and skits to their peers that illustrate the destructive behavior of bullies and educates bystanders on how to take action.

Tour de Force is so excited to continue meeting artists, educators, neighbors, and those interested in supporting our mission! As some of you are familiar with, our mission – our “Why?” – can be summed up in a question: “What’s your tour de force?” We've been honored to support various causes, and invite you to check out our new 1 min 40 sec 'razzle' video, outlining what motivates some of our grantees.

Speaking on introductions, we would love to extend a thank you to East City Art for their dedication to all things D.C art-related. Artists have found us through them, and we encourage you to visit their website for information on open calls, exhibitions, galleries, contests, and more! |
