Serious Play, ARTsisters, Center on the HillResilient Retreat, monotype by Linda Dubin Garfield

Center on the Hill, 8855 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19118 invites you to SERIOUS PLAY, a group exhibition featuring artwork by ARTsisters Priscilla Bohlen, Linda Dubin Garfield, Karen Leibman and Ruth Wolf. Using a variety of styles and media, these artists make you smile and make you think. The exhibit will run November 1- 26, 2014. Center on the Hill Gallery is open to the public Monday – Friday 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM.

“ARTsisters is a group of professional women artists who empower each other and the community through their art. ARTsisters was founded in December 2005, by Linda Dubin Garfield who realized that her long-time friend and fellow artist Leslie DeBrocky (since deceased) functioned as more than a friend when it came to discussing and helping with her art. She was really an ARTsister, one who understood the process and could really understand the highs and lows involved with the challenges of a professional artist. Together they opened membership to other women and, through word of mouth, now have 24 members and an email list of more than 75 interested women artists. Sharing resources and offering support to each other, the members now have shown, both individually and in groups,  including shows in Chestnut Hill, Old City, Manayunk, Wayne, Wynnewood, the Wilmington Arts Commission in Delaware, the Widener University Art Gallery and the City of Philadelphia Board of Ethics. This spring ARTsisters will have their 10th Anniversary ART Show at Jenkins Arboretum.

Some of the non-profits we have collaborated with include: Adopt A Pig, Endow-A-Home, Philadelphia FIGHT, Juvenile Diabetes, The Cancer Support Community (formerly The Wellness Community of Philadelphia), The Food Trust, The Heart Association, Child Advocates and Laurel House.”

Harmony of the Whole: 7th Exhibition of the Philadelphia Arts Connection at Da Vinci Art AllianceHarmony of the Whole: 7th Exhibition of the Philadelphia Arts Connection at Da Vinci Art Alliance

October, 2014, “Harmony of the Whole: the 7th Exhibition of the Philadelphia Arts Connection,” will open at the gallery of Da Vinci Art Alliance, located at 704 Catharine Street, Philadelphia, PA 19147(phone: 215-829-0466; gallery hours: Wednesdays, 5:00-7:00p.m., Saturdays and Sundays, 12:00-5:00p.m.). The show will feature paintings and sculptures by the Philadelphia Arts Connection [PAC] members and continue until October 26th. The artists’ receptions will be held between 12:00-6:00 p.m. on both October 25th and 26th, coinciding with the POST exhibitions in Philly.

Philadelphia Arts Connection was established in 2010 by a group of Korean émigré artists residing in the greater Philadelphia-New York region. It is a Korean-American artists’ cooperative that meets monthly to provide mutual support and to encourage its members’ artistic growths. In addition, through semiannual group shows, the group strives to promote its members’ visibility to the larger art audiences in the New York-Philadelphia corridor. This is the group’s third show hosted by Da Vinci Art Alliance.

Among the participants in this show are Sung Hoon Ham, Kyungja O. Kim, Soo Arm Ahn, Yeonmi Ahn, Alice Chung, Yeoun Lee, Cara Stickler, Jamie Moon, Samuel Park, Soyoun Kim and Nam Sook Kwon. They work in a variety of media, including oil, watercolor, acrylic, mixed media and sculpture. The exhibition, “Harmony of the Whole,” draws from the unique voices, memories, and reflections of the PAC members whose works embrace both Korean and Western art traditions and incorporate their life experiences and exposures to contemporary arts in America.

For further information on the Philadelphia Arts Connection and its shows, visit www.philaartsconnection.org or send an email to: info@philaartsconnection.org.  You may also contact Sung Hoon Ham at (610) 931-1081 and Yeoun Lee at (856)316-8527 for more information on the show.
