JUNE-JULY 2008 NEWS & EVENTSDear Friends and Patrons, I recently moved my studio to 915 Spring Garden Street, in the old Reading Building that has housed roughly 60 artists' studios for over 25 years. Studio visits are available by appointment. The Open Studio Tours Event will take place there in October.
RITTENHOUSE SQUARE SHOWI will be exhibiting in the Rittenhouse Square Fine Arts Show on June 6th, 7th and 8th (first Friday thru Sunday in June). My booth is located on the Walnut Steet side of the park, about halfway between 18th and 19th streets. I will have approximately 20 recent oil paintings on display. Information: rittenhousesquarefineartshow.org
NANAYUNK SHOWThe Manayunk Show is Saturday and Sunday, June 28th and 29th. My booth will be about midway on the street, roughly in front of Le Bus and Orbit Gallery. All of my prints will be for sale there, including my most recent print depicting Connie Mack Stadium. Information: manayunk.comARTS ON THE AVENUE EVENTOn Wednesday, July 2nd, from 6:30-10:30 p.m., there is an outdoor event on South Broad Street, between City Hall and Spruce Street, featuring live music. I will be displaying my Philadelphia Views there, and, weather permitting, working on a large canvas. Information: americasbirthday.comTWO PENN CENTER DISPLAYsI am no longer painting in Two Penn Center (15th and JFK Blvd.). However, two large paintings of mine were purchased by the owner of the building, and are on display there in the lobby. These are my full-sized copy of "The Gross Clinic" and a recently commissioned painting of "LOVE Park and Two Penn Center". I maintained an exhibit of my work, as well as that of roughly two dozen other local artists, in this space for about four years. The exhibit led to the sale of about 25 paintings, and afforded many "emerging artists" a good opportunity to display and sell their work, commission-free, in a high-traffic public venue. I also painted periodically in the lobby, and met dozens of interesting people. It was a great run, thanks to all who supported it!
