Saturday, Sept. 28, 5-7pm - Northern Liberties
You are invited to witness a piece of Philadelphia’s innovative art scene, at a private showing with drinks and lite fare, where artists Ben Will and Sarah Eberle live and own gallery Rebekah Templeton Contemporary Art.
Purchase tickets here. Philadelphia street address will be emailed to you upon purchase of ticket.
Ben Will and Sarah Eberle invite you to their home, studio and gallery, Rebekah Templeton Contemporary Art. The couple, both artists and curators, is reviving the tradition of living above the mom-and-pop shop, in hip Northern Liberties, just one block north of the Piazza. You will see on display work by Piper Brett, get a chance to talk to gallery artists, and get to see some of Ben and Sarah’s personal art collection and studio. Since its founding in 2007, Rebekah Templeton has earned respect for its boundary-pushing exhibits of Philadelphia and national contemporary artists. Ben, who has shown and curated in London, Philadelphia and New York City, is a member of Vox Populi Gallery, where he has a show coming up in 2014. Sarah has made a name for herself as a curator, gallery director and speaker, including as exhibition consultant for the Wolgin Prize show at Temple Gallery.
Thursday, Nov. 7, 6-8 pm - Washington Square West
Artists Diane Burko and Richard Ryan, just back from an art-and-science exploration of the Arctic, invite you for an evening of drinks and light fare to explore their spectacular home and studio.
Purchase tickets here. Philadelphia street address will be emailed to you upon purchase of ticket.
Visit the home of Diane Burko and Richard Ryan, in a Center City stable built in 1905 that they gutted and designed themselves. Fresh from an invitation-only trip to the Arctic, traveling with artists, scientists and journalists studying global warming--Diane and Richard will have returned just two weeks earlier--the couple will be there to answer your questions about their expedition and Diane’s lifetime exploration of some of earth’s most dramatic and endangered landscapes. The home’s contemporary interior and studio spaces showcase some of Richard’s extraordinary skills as a designer, digital artist and cabinetmaker. The spare spaces are the perfect setting for their own art work as well as for work in their private collection. Some of Diane’s paintings and photographs are currently on the road-- in a solo show: "Glacial Perspectives", is at the Zimmerli Museum, Rutgers University, New Brunswick; and the "Sensing Change" exhibit at the Chemical Heritage Foundation in Philadelphia includes a group of her photographs.
Saturday, Nov. 9, 6-8 pm - Center City West
You are invited to an evening of museum-quality international art, drinks and lite fare in an elegant Frank Furness-designed brownstone, the home of collectors Mari and Peter Shaw.
Purchase tickets here. Philadelphia street address will be emailed to you upon purchase of ticket.
Mari and Peter Shaw offer you a tour of arguably Philadelphia’s most important private collection of international cutting-edge artists as well as work by notable Philadelphia artists. Their home is a stunning setting for the large and small-scale works that the Shaws have traveled the world to collect. Mari is an advisor to artblog. Her forthcoming book on artist Thomas Chimes is based on years of conversations between her and the artist, until two days before his death. Real estate developer Peter places the work of Philadelphia artists in the buildings he develops, including works by photographer Zoe Strauss opposite the elevators on each floor of the 45-story St. James on Washington Square, by Alex Da Corte in the lobby of the blue-glass Murano highrise on Market Street, and sculptures by Jay Fuhrman in a number of Peter's projects.
