Hey there, want to show your work? Break into that thing known as the insider artist circle of Philadelphia? Become the hip new thing that’s all the buzz in the culture crowd?

Monday, September 6th, 2010January Listings
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010Firstly, it appears as though Mew is closing.¬† This is sad news, as they were a great boutique / gallery business who showed many local emerging artists. They will be open through the 11th of January, and will also be selling furniture and fixtures. Also in closing news, word on the street is Pearl art supply on South Street is closing. They were pretty poorly run for the past few years, so I can’t claim surprise, but I have to say as a resident of the neighborhood I’m worried. This year South Street lost a market (Chef’s Market), dozens of small stores, and at least 6 restaurants. Even though there was movement to fill the empty storefronts with temporary galleries, that sort of fizzled and lost momentum (note to self: what’s going on with that movement).
As previously mentioned, many of the January shows will be the same as December. It’s the holidays and the weather.¬† Due to the funkiness of the New Year falling on a First Friday openings are all over the map. Assume that the show is currently on display, and the reception date is as given. If it’s not listed, you missed the opening party.

December Listings
Friday, December 4th, 2009
Margaux Kent
December listings are especially sluggish coming in this month. Light on bars, but heavy on group shows in alternative venues. Luckily for the artists showing, many shows are for both December and January, capitalizing on the possibility of gift sales, and simply allowing longer viewing time. Most shows begin First Friday December 4th and conclude at the end of the month unless otherwise indicated. These are just what’s new up on the walls; as always, check the listings page for older and ongoing shows, and to let me know if I’ve missed anything.
