Please join us tomorrow for our annual heArt Show! We will be celebrating Valentine’s Day by showing work from over 100 artists. The show is ca$h and carry, so it’s a great chance to pick up something special for your Valentine. We will also be serving a 60 lb roasted pig, tons of refreshments, and cupcakes fresh from the oven! Stick around for our afterparty at Gunner’s Run here in the Piazza for drink specials all night long… The ‘official’ time for the party is 6-10 P.M., but all of the hearts will be on display when we open at Noon. It’s a good chance to check it out early and get the one you want…

Underground is starting to sign up artists for the April 21st Art Walk. It’s FREE to set up so email them at: Undergroundnj92@yahoo.com also please email photos of your artwork

I stumbled upon this today whilst browsing the endless caverns of the interwebz. It’s a good mantra that everyone can benefit from. Check out Anthony’s site for more prints.

State of the State is an exhibition that features the work of current Second State Press (SSP) Fob Holders. It represents a snapshot of the Philadelphia printmaking community and the work that it produces. Located in the basement of the Crane Arts Building, Second State Press is a communal printmaking studio that provides artists with an affordable, supportive, and professional workspace. The Fob Holder Program accepts members that are willing to help manage our shop in exchange for unlimited access to the printmaking facilities. Participants in the program, “Fob Holders”, are skilled printmakers from all over the country at various stages in their careers who have decided to make Philadelphia their home. Their creative energy in our shop is palpable and is the lifeblood of Second State Press.

In this Episode, Kenny Scharf returns to Wynwood to expand on a piece he started in 2009, one of the original Wynwood Walls. Having seen street art evolve from the New York City graffiti scene in the 1980s, to its status today as an established and respected international art movement, he reflects on his life and career as an Artist. He addresses the downside of art being treated as fashion, and articulates the importance of creating a project where the art itself is not for sale. Kenny also discusses the pros and cons of gentrification and how it relates to the Wynwood district.
