Today there was a piece in The New York Times about American artist Will Barnet. He is truly one of America’s finest. He continues to make art each day dispite his inability to stand. His age advances as his work does. Enjoy this interview from artbabble.
It’s your turn to inspire Philadelphia’s growing local arts scene.
Heavybubble is thrilled that Caroline Furr's show Floating World at 110 CHURCH has been reviewed by Edith Newhall at the Philadelphia Inquirer.

New work by Marjorie Grigonis and Katherine Kurtz at The Knapp Gallery.
Marjorie Grigonis presents her new mixed media work on found mylar, discarded by an architectural firm. The original drawings were varied and abstract, informing the finished pieces. She has allowed much of the underlying work remain.
Katherine Kurtz shows new paintings which continue an exploration of the process. Layers of paint applied, scratched, and manipulated with scratching tools.

Celebrate Gifts From Mother Earth, an installation by Philadelphia fiber artist Betty Leacraft.
The installation documents her project that brought together community members to share personal stories about folk remedies, raise awareness of shared cultural connections, and create art. Bringing together her interest in traditional gardening with her artistry in textiles, Betty conducted a series of workshops this past spring with members of the community and young students from The Spring School Of The Arts.
