February’s Show = 9th Annual Fun-A-Day event!

What’s Fun-A-Day? Fun-A-Day is a project started by the Philadelphia based, Artclash Collective. An openly invited event, each artist picks a project and works on it every day for a month, and then presents their work together as a collection. So, all throughout January artists in over 20 cities worked on their projects, Oakland’s work being hosted by RPS Gallery. On January 31st the artists will work with RPS, hanging their work late into the night to be ready for Art Murmur on Friday February 1st! We’ll post a behind the scenes look at the all night hanging but be sure to come celebrate with us next Friday at RPS GALLERY!

Below is The Artclash Collective’s Mission Statement.

Mission Statement The Artclash Collective is a Philadelphia-based group of artists who organize art projects and shows that aim to be fun, inclusive and participatory. With each project/show, we seek to create a welcoming forum for people to share their art and form a community. Our shows are always free, non-juried and all ages. We hope they help people embrace their creativity and serve as an inspiration for those who attend. We hope we can inspire you to make art!

Formative Amalgamations- Full Coverage

The openings were a big success. Now let's take a look at that work....

Laurie Shapiro's installation mural is accompanied by Trent Nahas, Teilor Good and Ben Stonberg's sculptures.

There's plenty of creature magic in Trent Nahas' work.

 

Teilor Good's works are both whimsical and haunting.

Beautiful medal work by Ben Stonberg are scattered about the gallery

If we could just get the music John Cassagnol made for the show to stream here the experience would be complete... Hello, John? Can you hear us?

Formative Amalgamation- ART MURMERed!

We were pleased to see the crowds roll in to look at the beautiful work created by the artists of Formative Amalgamation.  Hard work deserves attention...

Traffic jam on W. Grand can only mean one thing. It's 1st Friday!

Art Murmur in full effect. Outside, the crowd is lining up to get inside the gallery...

Formative Amalgamations is the sculpture art of Teilor Good, Trent Nahas, Laurie Shapiro, Ben Stonberg with sound installstion by John Cassagnol. Curated by Kristi Holohan.

 People seemed pretty stoked on the welcome wall. The big mural installation by Laurie accompanied by work from Teilor and Trent.

 Sculptural work is interesting because it allows the guests to get physically inside the environment. This little girl seemed to be a little haunted by Ben's work.

We think 2013 is going to be a good year...
