Skull Currency is another way of saying that our thoughts have value. Each life is measured within the skull of the one who lives it. My potato skull prints merge several traditions of ancestor veneration into irreverent portraits of what we will all someday become. They also investigate the custom of marking our bills of commerce with the faces of our most valued ancestors.
— Ana Vizcarra Rankin, 2013
Philadelphia Open Studio Tour
October 5th and 6th noon-5pm
Conversations with Land is a new body of work by Damini Celebre. The gallery is dotted with tiny and small paintings on panels and one work constructed of four 24 x 24 inch panels. In these works she pulls the sky down into the same plane as the earth, and air swirls amid them. There is no up, no down — no representation — it is a spiritual universe. Undulating energy reveals itself in each mark.

Art in the Open (AiO) is a citywide event that celebrates artists, their inspirations for creating art, and their relationships with the urban environment. Art in the Open debuted in June 2010, bringing a jury-selected group of artists to the Schuylkill Banks to inspire new ways of seeing the Schuylkill River-an ecologically critical lifeline for its residents, and the city it runs through.
The Gallery at the Church of Saint Asaph in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, invites all artists to enter a competition celebrating and interpreting this historical sacred space where creativity, caring for the earth, and social justice have been valued for 125 years. Any original 2-D or 3-D work in any medium that follows entry guidelines will be considered.
Exhibition Chairs: Roy Harker and Katherine Kurtz.
First Friday, July 5, from 5 to 8 PM.
Artist's Reception on Sunday, July 14, from 2 to 4 PM.
In a solo exhibition, Diane Lachman continues her fascination with color relationships. She compares color-guided composition to musical expression, applying layers of translucent oil paint to wood panels and blending them to create new, resonant hues. As in musical chords, where tension between different tones is resolved by their participation in the whole, Lachman's carefully selected color notes create surprising harmonies.
Reception
Friday, July 12 from 5:30-7:30PM
Created with a multitude of materials applied in both painterly and graphic methods, the textures and layering within Nancy Barch´s mixed-media artwork mimic the complexities of the subject matter she chooses. With work featured in magazines and included in corporate collections, Nancy´s success as a working artist is equally matched with her reputation as an outstanding instructor who holds workshops along the Eastern United States.
