The Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show was founded in 1977 and was the first retail craft show established and organized by a volunteer committee for the benefit of a non-profit institution. This trailblazing Show has served as a prototype for successful subsequent shows in cities such as Washington, D.C., and Evanston, Ill among others. The Show is presented each November by the Museum's Women's Committee and the Craft Show Committee for the benefit of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. A portion of each year's proceeds is dedicated to the purchase of a craft object for the Museum's permanent collection. Funds raised are also used to underwrite education and publication projects within the Museum special exhibits. Proceeds have enabled the purchase of state-of-the-art equipment for the Audio-Visual and Conservation departments and monies have been contributed to the renovation of both Museum infrastructure and galleries as well as external installations such as the Rodin Museum and Mount Pleasant, an 18th century house in nearby Fairmount Park.

In 43 years the Show has grown from 125 to 195 of the finest craft artists in the nation selected through a highly competitive jury process. This dynamic and premier Show has always been in the forefront of craft education by presenting symposia, on-site artist demonstrations, collection and studio tours, room settings of craft furniture and accessories, and student exhibitions. In 2001 a guest artist program was added whereby artists from a single country are selected to participate. Countries that have participated thus far include Japan, England, Ireland, Germany, Finland, Canada, Israel, Korea, Scotland and Lithuania.

I am part of their curated summer exhibit in Gallery 26, Cover to Cover. It will open Friday, June 17th and run through Tuesday, September, 20th, 2022.

It will be on display in their beautiful Gallery 26.

You are cordially invited to experience my new solo show "Change" in the hallway at 701!!! The show is open already and it will hang till February 6th, but the reception is on this day where you can come mingle with friends and ask questions.

From societal to planetary, we must change. Our greed has taken a hold of who we are and turned us against ourselves. We want new, we want now, we want fast, we want it all, at the cost of… 

The art on the walls speak of gentrification, engulfing desirable poor neighborhoods to expand living spaces for the middle class in our cities. Neighborhoods that became desirable because the artists, musicians, and foodies there created a destination place, a space of value. Those who live there, the servers, the laborers, the workers, are pushed out of the neighborhoods and later wonder “where did they all go?” and “why isn’t there anyone willing to work anymore”?  

The overhead installation is a representation of the ocean and the coral and marine life that are now endangered due to climate change, plastic pollution and hazardous waste dumping. Our “want it new, want it now, want it fast” way of life  is creating a monstrous plastic pollution issue that is taxing the planet. We must change our ways and go back, as best we can, to a life where our every whimsical convenience shouldn’t be met; where we work for our planet and not our personal wants. We must change.

Art enables community. It mixes and collaborates as expression to offer itself to the senses and through the senses to human emotion.

It is ancient and it is modern.

It is reverent and it is innovative.

It is the narrative that provokes and pleases and challenges us to meet it and our expectations in life, in thought, in dreams.

It understands our being, is grateful for us, to us for inspiration, for community.

Art is intuited to life being the host of our existence.
