This Weekend! Happy hours, ASE, and Art Star!

I've heard its going to be beautiful out this weekend so I am very excited to get out to promote PSG at the Art Star Craft Bazaar on Saturday and Sunday!!! We'll be in booth #5 up at the top of the stairs (near the food, yes!) so come check us out! We'll be doing family friendly demos in clay sculpting, making press molds and casting both days and we'll have Philadelphia Sculpture Gym T-shirts, Totebags, Mugs and Memberships for sale! So come on out to the Great Plaza at Penn's Landing (On Delaware Ave between Walnut and Chestnut Streets). Get something nice for your momma!

And tonight there is a Happy Hour happening at Philadelphia Woodworks starting at 5pm. $5 open bar and members of lots of the maker collectives in the city, like our friends at The Hacktory, NextFab Studios and Hive 76) will be there (We are hoping to be there but are dealing with a possible transmission issue at the moment and hope to get it fixed in time...!)

And then there is the yearly tradition of going to PAFA's Annual Student Exhibition (the ASE). Justin, Gus, Olivia and I will be heading over to see that. The show is always pretty amazing and of course its great to continue to see the work coming out of the school you graduated from (Justin is the PAFA grad... I went to Moore and saw their student show in April, which was also great!) These events are exactly what we needed after lots of late nights at the Philadelphia Sculpture Gym! Hope to see you at one of them! Have a great weekend everyone!

I am so excited about the winners of this years Knight Arts Challenge! We went to the event last night at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and were overwhelmed by the amazing ideas that are now going to be made possible in Philadelphia! Congrats to our friends Georgia Guthrie from The Hacktory, Sean Stoops, Fleisher Art Memorial, CFEVA, Asian Arts Initiative, Little Berlin, Moore College and the many, many more fabulous recipients! As Emma from Tiny Dynamite (a fellow 2011 winner) said, It's truly a life changing experience, which I can absolutely attest to. The Philadelphia Sculpture Gym was made possible by a Knight Arts Challenge Grant and I am forever grateful to have been given this opportunity. A huge congrats to this years winners...you are all about to have your lives changed!
