Dear Friend,

In 2022 49,476 people in the United States lost their lives to suicide and over 1.6 million attempted and survived. Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death in the U.S. for ages 10-14 and 25-34. Youth and young adults ages 10-14 account for 15% of all suicides. 90% of all individuals who lose the battle to suicide have an underlying mental illness. Transformance Art is dedicated to empowering innovative arts initiatives that promote hope, healing, and restoration, both individually and collectively through the transformative power of performance arts experiences. We would like you to consider partnering with us for our upcoming Meraki Project Services. Meraki (may-rah-kee) is a Greek word that means “to do something with soul, creativity, or love; to put something of yourself in your work.” The Meraki Projects are a series of expressive arts experiences designed to carry out our organization’s mission.

Our inaugural project, “Strength and Survival: Creative Expressions of Overcoming Suicide and Loss”, will launch in 2025. This initiative focuses on the survival, pain, and loss surrounding suicide. Through a series of performances and experiences, we aim to create a space for healing and dialogue, allowing participants to explore and express their personal and collective journey as it relates to suicide in a supportive and creative environment.

We are hosting several small events throughout the year to engage and involve our community as we plan for our first Meraki Project experience. These events will raise awareness about the project and build a strong network of supporters and participants.

Our First Event will be a Bridgerton Soirée hosted at Lighthouse Knoxville on November 10th from 6:00-11:00 pm and we need partners to help bring this vision to life and ensure its impact reaches those in need of the transformative power of this arts initiative.

Get ready to step back in time at this upcoming Regency-era-themed ball. Attendees will be encouraged to dress in exquisite period garb, bringing the elegance of the early 19th century in England to life. The evening will feature a dance lesson followed by ample time to show off your moves on a spacious dance floor. Guests can enjoy a cash bar, complete with two Signature Bridgerton Drinks to add to the immersive experience.
