“Since 1897, The Plastic Club has been devoted to the promotion and preservation of the visual (plastic) arts in Philadelphia. The busy gallery schedule offers several annual exhibitions for members and non-members, as well as invited artists in solo and group exhibitions. Members include well-known Philadelphia artists.

The name ” Plastic Club,” suggested by Blanche Dillaye, referred to any work of art unfinished, or in a “plastic” state. The term also refers to the changing and tactile sense of painting and sculpture.

Among the founding members of The Plastic Club were the “Red Rose Girls” — Violet Oakley, Jessie Willcox Smith, and Elizabeth Shippen Green — outstanding artists of their time. The name was given to this group of talented women by their teacher Howard Pyle.”

Ms. Sheila Modglin started Sunshine Arts at 41 Sunshine Road in the summer of 2004. She invited children from the neighborhood to listen to stories as they sat around the fish pond in the front yard. The kids enjoyed helping to water the plants and feed the fish.

Since then the organization has grown significantly. Now, resident artists Mr. Patrick O’Banion, Ms. Kat Lehmer, and Mr. Fen Jeeters teach classes to children of all ages from the community. Classes are scheduled after school during the week and on Saturdays. Regardless of the listed class schedule, children come to Sunshine Arts daily to talk, do crafts or get help with homework. Often, they enjoy Mr. Patrick’s fresh baked bread, homemade soup, cookies, or other wholesome snacks when they visit.

The goal of Sunshine Arts is to enhance the education and personal growth of our future generations. Executive director, Sheila Modglin grew up with a very strong sense of community within her family; “We would do any thing for each other. I want to share the sense of community that I have in my life with all the beautiful people right here surrounding this home. The house itself is a manifestation of living art and was accomplished through hard work from my generous and creative family and friends.”

Sunshine Arts Foundation Triple Crown Fundraiser

The organization was the brainchild of Ms. Sheila Mogdlin. Sunshine Arts is located at 41 Sunshine Road. Ms. Sheila Modglin started Sunshine Arts in the summer of 2004 when she invited children from the neighborhood to listen to stories as they sat around the fish pond in the front yard. Since then the organization has grown significantly. Now, resident artists Mr. Patrick O’Banion and Ms. Kat Lehmer teach classes to children along with visiting artists.

On Thursday May 16th, the Sunshine Arts Foundation held it’s annual spring fund raiser. The theme of this years benefit was the Triple Crown. Tickets were sold with the grand prize being an all expense paid trip to the Preakness. Along with the raffle there were silent auctions for donated art work created by local professional artists along with work created by the talented young artists who attend the Sunshine Arts workshops. Over $8000 was raised to benefit this non profit organization that provides a safe social setting and free art and music lessons for children who would otherwise have very little exposure to the fine arts.

Sunshine Arts Foundation

Celebrate Urban Birds Project, through a grant from Cornell University, introduced young artists to the art of painting birds. Philadelphia artist Robert Bohne´ instructed the class on how to render a realistic image. One student commented she was excited about the workshop but was afraid of birds, what a great way to overcome fears and learn to visually communicate ideas.
