Work by Disabled Artists on Display & Sale at Moss Rehab

by KYW’s Karin Phillips
A show and sale of art by professional artists living with disabilities is on display for three more weeks at an Elkins Park rehabilitiation center.

The artwork goes on and on, up and down the hallways of Moss Rehab in Elkins Park, representing many media. Cliff Anderson (photo) – a local musician and artist who has lived with polio for decades – has submitted work for years – this year, a nude and a still-life of a fading flower:
I’m emphasizing the color and the excitement in color, almost as in a note or chord in music.
Lois Levy, director of the All About Art show, says there are 40 new artists this year:
“It’s a very competitive show, it continues to be, which means a lot of the artists who get in know that and they feel they’ve accomplished something if even just one piece is accepted into our show.”

Philadelphia Citypaper makes note of the show.

Salon des Amis

This review by Victoria Donohoe of the show at Salon Des Amis, in
which 16 Dumpster Divers are represented, appeared today in the Inquirer
Weekend section. Note: the show has been extended till June 20th.

‘Arthouse’ show

“Arthouse,” an extravagant, 162-item show curated by artists/
collectors Betsy Alexander and Burnell Yow! at Salon des Amis Gallery
in Malvern, features other work by most of the same talent whose art
fills the couple’s Fitler Square home.

The energy and conviction that charge this display’s enigmatic images
of people, places, dreams and nightmares is impressive. And the large
showing of found-object pieces by key Dumpster Diver artists makes
other exotic or primitivistic imagery look neither gratuitous nor self-
indulgent.

Salon des Amis Gallery, 2321 Yellow Springs Rd, Malvern. To June 20.
Tue-Sat 11-6, Sun 1-6. Free. 610-647-6010.
