Marc Blumthal (MFA '10) and Mark Pease (MFA '03) in Philagrafika Exhibit Opening Weds, Jan 27, 5:00 - 7:00pm

Marc Blumthal (MFA '10) and Mark Pease (MFA '03) have work at Drexel University in an exhibit titled IPCNY New Prints 2009/ Autumn. This exhibit is part of Philagrafika.

Philagrafika 2010 is an international festival that celebrates the role of print as a vital force in contemporary art, running from January 29 through April 11, 2010 throughout the city of Philadelphia. Set to be one of the largest arts events in the United States, Philagrafika 2010 will showcase the work of more than 300 artists and will unite 88 Philadelphia area art institutions in the inaugural presentation of what will become a recurring event, anticipated to repeat every three years. Curated by Artistic Director José Roca, Philagrafika 2010 will offer regional, national, and international audiences the opportunity to see contemporary art that references printmaking in dynamic, unexpected ways and to experience Philadelphia’s rich cultural life in the process.

The festival was initiated by the Philagrafika organization, formerly known as the Philadelphia Print Collaborative. Philagrafika builds upon the region's rich printmaking history and abundant artistic resources to enhance Philadelphia’s presence as an international center for innovative printmaking. Philagrafika 2010 is the result of more than five years of planning, culminating in a citywide collective effort, which appropriately reflects the collaborative nature of printmaking itself. The festival is divided into three components: a core curated exhibition titled The Graphic Unconscious, Out of Print, and Independent Projects.


Opening Reception: Wednesday, January 27, 5:00 - 7:00pm

Jaime Roth and Nicole White (Both MFA '09) in Exhibit at Projects Gallery, Opening Fri, September 4

Jaime Roth and Nicole White, both MFA '09, will have work in the exhibit Fresh! 2009 at Projects Gallery in Philadelphia, opening Friday, September 4 from 6:00 - 9:00 pm.

"In the continuation of a tradition, Projects Gallery announces Fresh! 2009, the annual autumnal show of emerging artists and work that is new to the city. Selected by Director Helen Meyrick, these artists diversely employ sculpture, site-specific installation, video, photography, painting and drawing. Rather than a ‘greatest hits’ regurgitation of the student shows, Fresh! attempts to bring together disparate artists united not by imposed thematic or material concerns but as a chorus of individual voices."

Exhibition Dates: September 4 - October 31, 2009

Penn Participates in "Arts & The City Year" in Philadelphia 2009 - 2010

Penn will be involved in Philadelphia's Arts & The City Year in 2009 and 2010. The Provosts office describes it as such: "Penn’s Arts & the City Year celebrates arts and culture across our campus – and throughout our neighborhood, city, and region. It features an exciting range of events in Fall 2009 and Spring 2010, from dynamic student performances and distinguished guest artists, to vital discussions about national arts policy, the role of the arts in public health, and the importance of civic engagement with arts and culture. With its array of diverse perspectives, the Arts & the City Year spotlights Penn’s commitment to knowledge that crosses disciplines and boundaries, while reaffirming the essential role of arts and culture in campus and city life."

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports, "The university is changing its approach as part of a new campaign it will officially launch next month, called "Arts & The City Year." In addition to the orientation project, Penn plans "arts crawls" around the city, and an arts "passport" to art and cultural institutions with discounts and prizes for students. An "art in public health" series, arts seminars, and a variety of other programs also are planned to put students more in touch with the art venues on campus and around the region. "We're focusing on the role of arts in building community," said Penn provost Vincent Price. "We just have an enormous array of institutions on campus and in our larger region. We want to build greater student awareness." Penn officials also hope the focus on arts this year will forge stronger ties between arts institutions on campus and those in the community."

Homecoming Weekend (Nov. 5-8, 2009) will be incorporated into the "Arts & the City Year".
Organized, in large part, by Sheila Raman, Director of Arts & Culture at Penn; and Hoopes Wampler, Assistant Vice President of Alumni Relations. For more info, contact the alumni office at alumni[at]dev.upenn.edu, PennDesign alumni office at pdalumni[at]design.upenn.edu, or MFA alumna Elizabeth Lim at lime[at]alumni.upenn.edu
