In 1975 Bernie Taupin and Elton John wrote “Philadelphia Freedom,” their tribute to the “Philadelphia sound” made famous by the Delphonics, Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff, Thom Bell, and the Spinners. The lyrics reflected the surge of patriotism anticipating our country’s upcoming 1976 Bicentennial, which had such deep roots in Philadelphia.

We're happy to announce a new member of the tribe Dan Mangan. It was a pleasure to assist him in getting his site launched.

Dan's work blurs the space between photography and painting, blending form, light, and shadow into an image which has unique visual appeal. Dan has presented a large body of work in his portfolio. Spend some time there browsing each of his galleries. We are extremely interested in his work that appears to be a painting. 

from Dan Mangan's statement

Bill Brookover is leading a Hidden Print Collection tour for Fleisher Art Memorial.  

A Shamanic painting class, but instead of drawing from sight–you respond and paint/draw what you hear, feel, and experience. Your focus will not be on rendering landscapes, but letting your creative mark-making come from within. Your mark-making will be in response to your environment will give you a deeper way to connect to the Land around you.

No experience necessary!
