Second Space Arts at OCMC

11/20/2013

Hi friends; just wanted to let you all know that Second Space Arts will be going on an indefinite hiatus. Thanks to all of you for your support, attendance, enthusiasm, and engagement: it was valuable in keeping us/me motivated. And I'll be sure to let you know if/when we restart the exhibition schedule!

Happy Monday friends! Thanks to all of you who came out to the Artists 4 Ayuda event this past Friday evening...it was a fun time of art, food, and friends. Even though a number of things sold that evening, there is still a lot of great items available...please contact us via private message if there's something you're interested in.

Hi friends, an artist who exhibited with us in the past, Vicki Liantonio, is exhibiting twenty-four photographs (many new since the Second Space exhibit) at the Green Line Cafe, at Powelton and Lancaster Avenues in West Philly, and THIS FRIDAY the 10th (tomorrow night), there will be an artist reception, 5-8 PM. Come out and say hello, have a coffee, and see some great photography!

We're very excited about our current show at Powelton Village on view through May. Vicki Liantonio is showing a superb group of square-format photographs, all made with her iPhone. Liantonio's bold sense of color and composition immediately draw you in to...

A well-written, insightful article on some back-story of one of our winter exhibiting artist's new book from Farrar, Strauss, & Giroux...check it out!

The Berks County native, an illustrator, overcomes mysterious pain in his hands and arms to finally complete his second book, which recalls the story of how his parents built their own home.

Happy New Year friends! Here's some more info on the imminent book debut by Jonathan Bean, and some signings in the Kutztown area:
Hello Friends,

January 8th is the official release date for Building Our House. This means only one more week of my pesky announcements! For those unable to attend the Kutztown signing on the 12th, or for groupies who want to do both, I will hold a release-day gathering at the Midtown Scholar Bookstore in Harrisburg. Simply put, this means I will be hanging out with a double shot latte and copies of my book. Stop by!

Happy New Year!

-Jonathan

January 8th, 7-9pm, Midtown Scholar Bookstore

Just a reminder that, beginning in January, you'll be able to order the new book by one of the artists featured in our Winter show...support your local bookstore, and artist!
