EWI has been chosen, from hundreds of applications, to be featured in the Catalogue for Philanthropy in 2007-2008. This honor recognizes us as, "One of Greater DC's best small charities". The Catalogue is like a Who's Who in DC's nonprofit world spotlighting the best of those working tirelessly to make our community a better and more positive place for ALL residents.
Immigrant and refugee women artists come to America looking to fulfill the American dream. A bridge needs to be built to transfer successful experiences in their native countries to successful ones here at home. With the help of innovative community organizations, such as the Catalogue for Philanthropy, EWI can continue to train a multicultural group of talented emerging artist entrepreneurs in the life and business skills necessary to be self-sustaining artists. Acting as a small business center, EWI provides intensive training, business services, and mentoring. Artists leave EWI with the ablity to set realistic goals, create budget and marketing plans, and measure their results. This knowledge has transfered into new careers, increased income and exhibitions in galleries, shops, and arts centers including the Smithsonian Museum, National Geographic, the World Bank, and various embassies in the District.
Let your philanthropy join theirs and you can change a life!
