Glow Up, Speak Out! June's Got it All!

Get Ready for Some Summer Sizzling!

Spring has Sprung!

Celebrate our 3rd birthday with us!

Hello! Can we collectively pause to appreciate the increasing hours of daylight? The scarcity of warmth creates a heaviness to winter that can be a bit isolating.

Hello Friend! We hope you've gotten some rest ... (Hot take: with the technology we have today, humans should be able to hibernate, so to speak, instead of hustling and bustling through winter holidays and snowstorms!)

Hello Friend! Well … we made it! It’s the end of the year and we're dusting off those vision boards to see what made the cut, and what miiight have to carry over (lol). Regardless, we hope you're proud of yourself for what you've accomplished and take the lessons you need as you embark on your next phase. Onwards and Upwards!

Hello Friend! Well, the temperature certainly dropped–quickly! It’s set to be a warmer-than-average winter, according to the National Weather Service.

Hello Friend! This month kicks off the crisp days, crunchy leaves, cozy sweaters, #spookyszn, Homecoming and the Holidays! It’s such a thrill watching the seasons change: A reminder that to grow, we have to welcome change and let go!

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!

Hello Friends of Tour de Force! It's been a privilege to grow as an organization alongside the DMV art community. Since our debut in February 2022, we've awarded over two dozen grants, contributed $52,000 towards grantees, and have met many artists, educators, and community leaders.
