Welcome to artlife where we post a curated selection of events, exhibitions, workshops, and doings by heavybubble and artists that use our services. Check out the artist opportunities and events that catch our eye.
Bill Brookover will be teaching a one-day introduction to screenprinting in this one day immersive workshop.
Stella Untalan has created a series of drawings that are driven not by results but by process. Each of these drawings is made using the same ink, the same pen, the same unrelenting process. The results reveal themselves to be reminders of her walks and runs in the woods. The straight trunks making blurred lines that suggest motion, space, and time — a DNA image of being in the woods.
The installation consists of her drawings, sound by Lesley Tao Mowat, and a corrugated cardboard construction: [bar] by Brian David Dennis. Come experience being in the woods.
In probably less than 30 minutes you can write a personal story and donate a miniature object that will become a part of Philadelphia’s history. The piece will be on permanent view at The Philadelphia International Airport, Terminal F to the 30 million annual passengers. The project is open to anyone and free to participate.
It's spring and it's getting greener every minute. We've heard people say "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" — really? Is that what this show is all about? Maybe, maybe not. Come see how thirty artists interpreted our theme in more than 60 pieces of work no larger than 5.5 x 8.5, unframed.

This event is an art exhibit featuring Philadelphia award-winning artist Teresa McWilliams Farina.
A variety of framed original paintings will be exhibited from representational to abstract subjects in sizes ranging from small (5x 7") to large (24 x 36").
The artist's style is impressionistic. There are paintings on canvas (and copper) in textured oils, pastels on textured surfaces, vibrant watercolors and experimental pieces in mixed media.
Subjects Include:
District’s Studio Grant Program concentrates explicitly on the promotion of contemporary women artists. Since 2010, District has awarded the studio grant to visual artists with the aim to open a room where long-term dialogues between artistic, curatorial, research and educational practices can evolve.
Two of Bill Brookover's recent Rotating Triangle collages were chosen as part of Main Line Art Center's 2016 Spring Gala Exhibition.
The Rotating Triangle series explores geometry, pattern, chaos and order by layering images printed in various techniques. There is strong contrast in color, value, and pattern between the two layers, following a subtle repeating pattern.
Rotating Triangles (Pink on Black) was awarded Honorable Mention by juror Sharon Ewing, Director of Gross McCleaf Gallery, Philadelphia.
Thanks for all the submissions! We have over 60 pieces.
Grab the image above to promote the show. See you Saturday !!!

In 2013, two-dozen Philadelphia schools were shuttered by city authorities in an effort to close a budget deficit. In response to these closings, Temple Contemporary has commissioned artist Pepón Osorio to create a new installation specifically addressing the loss of the Fairhill Elementary School in North Philadelphia, not far from Temple University.
