Spheres of Exchange supports refugee and immigrant artisans and helps them gain marketing exposure among U.S. based audiences. We promote handmade apparel, accessories and other artwork through the transModa fashion show, periodic trunk shows and participation in the Prudential Center’s Holiday Market.

In September 2004 we co-organized a 4-day National Leadership Training with the Refugee Women’s Network. Using a Training-for-Transformation curriculum designed for immigrant women, Spheres brought together 22 refugee women from across the country.

This element of our programming will be developed over time in response to feedback we receive from working with refugee and immigrant entrepreneurs through the fashion show and monthly workshops.
