Pre-Program Must-See's


Friday Night:
Fleisher Ollman presents Introspective/Retrospective featuring Chris Corales, Joe Turner, and Christine Shields; curated by Chris Johanson. Opening Reception 6-9pm; performance starts at 7pm.

Fleisher Ollman is a short walk from the Suburban Station stop on the Blue Line (Market-Frankford.) It is also two blocks from Rittenhouse Square, (18th and Walnut) for hours of entertaining people/dog watching.


Saturday 12-6pm:
Our own Wallace Whitney curated Summer Above at Tiger Strikes Asteroid, a gem of an artist-run space located in the "Vox Populi" building, 319 N. 11th St. Wallace's show at TSA features several of our summer's visiting artists, so don't miss the opportunity to see their work in person. Wander through the Vox building to see other small, DIY spaces including Marginal Utility and Grizzly Grizzly. The Vox building is just off the 23 bus line, and is a short walk from the Race/Vine stop on the Orange (Broad Street) Subway Line.

If you don't make it downtown Saturday-- do not despair. Galleries in the Fishtown/Northern Liberties neighborhood will also be open Saturday 12-6pm:
extra extra hosts Kari Altmann's video/digital photo/bizarro internet exhibition, plus Rebekah Templeton rarely disappoints, and features a group show, Spotlights curated by Jon Lutz. Both are short walks from the Girard stop on the Blue Line--while you are there, explore NoLibs/Fishtown and the spectacle that is the Piazza.

If you travel via bike or car, also check out Little Berlin's EPIC PAIN group exhibition in their new space at Viking Mill. Just around the corner from the Philadelphia Brewing Co.

PLUS, somehow, DON'T MISS:
SAT/SUN 12-6pm:
Crane Arts Building will host a fundraiser Art for the Cash Poor to benefit InLiquid. There will be cheap art--live music--beer--and food. Plus, the Crane is the site of our own SPI/SSI Final Exhibition, so go to see the massive Icebox space which will host our exhibition.
