Damini Celebre, along with over 300 hundred other artists is part of the Clay Studio’s Small Favors exhibition.
Small Favors engages artists' creativity in new and exciting ways with the challenge of making pieces on a very small scale. The works exhibited are incredibly varied in material, form, and aesthetics. Though small in scale the artworks created for this exhibition are huge in impact.

Focal Points: Women Advancing the Aperture showcases contemporary female photographers whose work centers on the themes of illusion, perception, and perspective against the backdrop of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. Like their antecedents, this exhibition celebrates the strength, conviction, and advancements made by women to address gender parity and the powerful role art plays in producing multiple layers of dialogue.
We're pleased to announce that Bill Brookover is showing a group of prints in this four person show at Cerulean Arts. A use of evolving pattern and spatial layering are fundamental to these artists’ creative practices. Trained in architecture and design, Bill Brookover begins with a constraint such as a geometric pattern or color palette and pushes the rule to find unexpected juxtapositions.
Other artists in the show are Joan Wadleigh Curran, Anda Dubinskis & Heather McMordie.
Reception: Saturday, February 1, 2-5pm
Every other winter Heavy Bubble presents an exhibit of single-sheet books: Ritual.
This year Ritual was visited by two librarians from Swarthmore and they loved what they saw!
Therese Brown's Daily Constitutional was one of eight books acquired by them for Swarthmore College's Book Arts & Private Press Collection.
The books are on display in the Color Room on the 2nd floor of McCabe Library, located at 500 College Avenue, Swarthmore through March 1, 2020 (see image!).
We're pleased to announce that Bill Brookover is included in this exhibition.
600 drawings 4x4 2019, is the result of a drawing project — making at least one drawing each day. This project involved the use of four-inch squares of paper of various weights, colors, and surfaces. I found that many small pieces could be cut out of remnants of paper in my studio.
Year long projects help expand my vocabulary, they create new phrases and expletives. Join me to see the hundreds of drawings I made in this series.
DEADLINE: February 15, 2020
