Comment: The sources provided are good to pass WP:GNG but needs more in depth information about the organization. NP83 (talk) 00:25, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Looks like the Washingtonian piece (ref #2) is the only one that meets the WP:GNG standard, namely being independent and reliable secondary source, with significant coverage of the subject. We need to see more like that. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:03, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Important organization, but it's hard for smaller organizations to be noted enough for Wikipedia. 2 or 3 more independent-of-Transformer-DC (that is, not the official website) with a summary of said sources in the draft should do the trick.

Transformer DC is a non-profit arts organization in Washington, D.C. in the United States. Located at 1404 P Street NW in Washington DC, the gallery space serves as headquarters for the organization.[1]
History[edit]
Inspired by the DIY DC Punk scene of the 1980s, Transformer was founded by Victoria Reis and Jayme McLellan as a resource to advance the careers of artists locally and internationally.[2] Reis currently serves as executive and artistic director. [3][4][5][6]
Programming[edit]
Transformer is W.A.G.E. certified and offers a variety of exhibitions, panel discussions, exercises for emerging artists, flat file sales, and hosts an annual fundraising auction.[7][8] Celebrating 20 years as an organization, the Transformer20 exhibition and auction was hosted at the Corcoran School of Art and Design. [9] Exhibitions hosted by Transformer have been reviewed in The Washington Post, Hyperallergic, and Sculpture Magazine. [10][11][12]
