ChangeMatters' philanthropy and public service supports multicultural and cutting edge community
arts and culture. We look for creative combinations of art, business, and community.
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.
Working with retired scientific association executive and former arts administrator Tom Roberts,
as well as a host of local artists and designers, ChangeMatters developed and produced an exhibit of commissioned art, medical
images, found sound, and collectibles reflecting on cancer, creativity, and community (2008).
ChangeMatters also supports development and training in the field of fundraising for arts and progressive
causes.
