215/610: A Juried Drawing Exhibition of Regional Emerging Artists
The purpose of the Juried Drawing Exhibition is to engage the community in regional art and participate in an exchange of ideas and abilities. Taking the simple concept of drawing, artists can bring new life toan age-old way of creating imagery, helping to build a contemporary definition of drawing.
The Wall of Women (WoW) is an ongoing project conceived by Philadelphia photographer / artist, Anne Saint Peter, to honor the many talented women of all disciplines in the Arts.
Begun in the fall of 2008, the project includes black and white analog portraits of over 100 artistic women, including the visual arts, poetics, music and dance. The intent is to showcase the many talented women in the arts – an often overlooked group.
“The project will go on forever,” says Saint Peter, “a kind of Judy Chicago ‘Dinner Party’ that just keeps evolving.”
Proposals are being accepted for art in and on vacant storefronts along Lancaster Avenue for display from September 30th to November 30th. Think creatively! Proposals will be judged on artistic merit, how they use the space and integrate with the surrounding neighborhood, and how well thought out and practical the project is from concept to installation. This opportunity is open to artists working in any medium. Work that is responsive to the site is of special interest.

Branching describes an organizational system, whether organic or conceptual, where connections occur in self-similar fractal patterns.The work in this exhibition explores the branching metaphor, from trees to capillaries, from maps to networks, to language.
Kate Friedman’s work explores the interface of nature and technology, using digital tools and industrial materials in combination with photography, painting, drawing and collage.

Len Cowgill places his drawings in boxes and bottles and surrounds them with writing and found objects. “My work is about containment. I explore some facet of the human condition in a drawing and box it up or put it in a bottle. I create a stage for the drawings and invite the audience to get close, look at and touch it. It becomes an experience shared, a story that’s been told; perhaps not the story I had in mind.”
