4+Towns 4 Art:
2nd Annual Open Studio Tour
Featuring 25 artists in Southern New Jersey
Saturday, April 5, 2014, 11am – 5pm
South Jersey community invited into artist studios to learn about the creative process. Artists collaborate to present original works for sale to the public.

4+ Towns 4 Art, founded by Haddon Township fiber artist Jennifer Talarico, presents the second annual Open Studio Tour. Showcasing artists in four towns in 2013, the Studio Tour has doubled in size for 2014. Eight towns are highlighted — Barrington, Collingswood, Haddonfield, Haddon Heights, Haddon Township, Merchantville, Oaklyn, and Pennsauken — with 25 artists participating. Studio disciplines include painting, ceramics, fiber arts, drawing/illustration, photography, sculpture, mosaic, collage, leather work, and book art.

4+ Towns 4 Art is a celebration of visual art in the South Jersey community. With a mission to give local, independent artists a platform from which to share their creative process with the community in which they live, 4+ Towns 4 Art intends to encourage the financial support of those artists by presenting their work for sale directly out of their studios.

Talarico says, “One of the joys I got out of last year’s tour was to see the artists’ enthusiasm for sharing their spaces with the public. One of them even had an addition built onto her back yard shed. Naturally she wanted to enlarge her work space, but it was also important to her to make it more accessible. The Studio Tour is every bit as inspiring for the artists as it is for the public!”

Addresses of participating artists:

The Second Annual Open Studio Tour is free & open to the public. All members of the community are welcome to visit the studios on Saturday, April 5, 2014, from 11am to 5pm. Artists will be demonstrating and displaying their creations. There will be an artist reception following the Tour at: EilandArts Gallery, 21 S. Centre St., Merchantville from 5:30pm – 8pm.

Home Fine Art and FramingAll of a sudden my artwork is everywhere! Today is the artist reception for Home Fine Art and Framing Gallery at 2 Church Street, Mount Holly, NJ 08060 (609) 261-8634. I was invited by the irrepressible Ben Cohen and proprietor Kathryn Spear to be a guest artist. I have three photographic prints and a digital print of QR codes that links to websites, animated gif and videos.

Thanks to Pauline Jonas and Jeff Stroud my photography is included in the Photographic Society of Philadelphia group show at Galleria Deptford, 1011 Cooper Street, Deptford NJ. Read my review of the show on DoNArTNeWs here.

The Plastic Club small WORLDS 2014 show includes a basket of five one sheet books. Three of the books were originally included in the 110 Church Gallery RiTUAL Reading Room show. Read my review of the show here. I created two more books including a tribute to my beautiful Lady Doofus, the St. Bernard/Chihuahua who passed away almost two years ago, I was inspired to write the story because kids in my neighborhood still ask where Beethoven is which makes me very happy.small WORLDS 2014, The Plastic ClubPhoto by Morris Klein at small WORLDS 2014 at The Plastic Club

RENEWAL STREET

Leave a reply

Anthony C and Karen M at Jed Williams StudioAnthony C and Karen M at Jed Williams Gallery , Cola

Jed Williams Gallery is proud and excited to present its first exhibit of the ground breaking work of Philadelphia’s own street-art collaborative duo Anthony C and Karen M. The exhibition’s title, ‘RENEWAL STREET‘, alludes to the coming of Spring and the importance of street art in Philadelphia’s current artistic zeitgeist; as well this it points to Jed Williams Gallery‘s own renewal through a new gallery-space look and expanded gallery hours, and is a playfully ironic reference to the concept of urban renewal.

Anthony C and Karen M are a collaborative duo that specializes in stencil art that is hand-drawn and hand-cut with without digital or electronic assistance. The stencils are used to create artwork on different surfaces such as cardboard, found wood, and other types of seemingly unglamorous supports. These also include sculptures and various types of constructions, a selection of which will be featured in the ‘RENEWAL STREET‘ exhibit.

The mission of Anthony C and Karen M is to elevate Street Art to a higher level, to educate the populace and be the voice of those who have none in our political world. According to the artists:

“Leaving our gallery forced us to try different means of getting our political messages out to the public. We also give away art by hanging in public places and encouraging people to ‘steal’ it. Our current project is transforming a North Philadelphia warehouse into a complete art installation using cardboard paintings and sculptures…We are collaborating artists working with cast off materials such as cardboard to create a statement about the tension in our nation. We go under the names Wisdom, Live Nation, 11 and Anthony C and Karen M.”

Anthony C and Karen M were educated, respectively, at the University of the Arts and the Art Institute of Philadelphia. They have exhibited widely, including at the Rodger Lapelle Galleries, the 3rd St. Gallery, Graffiti of War Tour, Pterodactyl Artist Space and the streets of Philadelphia and NYC. They were awarded “Best in show-Works on Paper Exhibition” at the Philadelphia Sketch Club in 2008. And they have been featured in many publications and blogs including International Contemporary Masters vol. VII, Important American Artists Vol. 1, Art Matters (“Urbana – Dynamic Duo Goes With The Streetwise Flow” by R.B. Strauss) and the blogs Streets Dept, Side Arts and DoNArTNeWs.
