McLellan apparently lost her faculty position at George Washington for going to court to try to keep the Corcoran Art organized as it was, fighting a restructuring in what this article calls a retaliation for whistleblowing: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/culture/la-et-cm-retaliation-at-corcoran-gallery-column.html

McLellan also headed this Politics in Art contest where it looks like grants may have been given to the artists: https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/museums/in-the-galleries-lines-are-clearly-drawn-in-art-as-politics/2016/08/10/851d42ca-5d9c-11e6-8e45-477372e89d78_story.html?utm_term=.b61efd9f3af4

Jayme McLellan is listed as co-founding Transformer with Victoria Reis, which wound up being run by Alefantis :http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/arts/museums-galleries/blog/13080156/civilian-art-projects-closing-its-space-in-mount-vernon-square. And McLellan was faculty at George Washington University: https://nondegree.gwu.edu/jayme-mclellan

Septime Webre left the Ballet and went to the S&R Foundation : https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2016/05/31/washington-ballets-departing-director-septime-webre-named-to-sr-foundation/?utm_term=.55f14d9f00f7

Trying to find out about the S&R Foundation so far has led back to Victoria Reis who worked for Transformer and shows up under S & R Studios, so Septime Webre is linked to Alefantis and Reis and Reis is linked to Alefantis: http://fillmorearts.org/victoria-reis
