Grand Opening: PORTRAITS FOR OUR CAUSE


PORTRAITS FOR OUR CAUSE

For nearly a decade, starting in 1985, photographer and PSG charter member, J. Kyle Keener produced  many of the most memorable images to grace the pages of the Philadelphia Inquirer Sunday Magazine. He recently moved back to Philadelphia to open his KeenerVision Studio gallery and work space in Fishtown. At our June 28th Opening Party, Kyle will bring his portable studio and considerable talent into the Philadelphia Sculpture Gym for a charity portrait fundraiser to benefit the PSG. For a minimum donation of $20 per sitting, Kyle will send you a signed 11"x14" print and a digital image via email. He suggests you bring along a meaningful object, a favorite piece of art, a tool of your trade or whatever you like, to use as a prop.

Author Michael Mead wrote a book titled something like Water and the River of Life.

Author Dannion Brinkley was struck by lightning on two different occasions and survived to write about his near death experiences.

Painter Andrew Walker often uses his personal struggle with kidney disease as content for his work.
