Space 7:10

With artist Tom Block and small business owners Abeba and Lene Tsegaye, Amy Kincaid received the 2007 BridgeBuilder Award from IMPACT Silver Spring. The award recognizes partnerships between business owners and individuals that work creatively and intentionally across racial and cultural lines. Our ongoing project has been to develop an alternative visual and performing artspace in a neighborhood cafe.

Cranial Vault

Working with friend and colleague Tom Roberts, as well as local artists and designers, Change Matters is helping to create an exhibit of commissioned art, medical images, found sound, and collectibles. Part curiosity shop, part medical illustration, and part memoir, the exhibit serves as an experiential travelogue of a trip that started with a middle-of-the-night grand mal seizure and continues through aggressive cancer treatment, including brain surgery to a survivor's new normal.
