SUMMARY:CraftMONTH 2nd Thursday: FWM + Center for Art in Wood
DESCRIPTION:Click HERE to RSVP \nCelebrate CraftMONTH with this guided tour of two best-in-craft exhibitions at The Fabric Workshop and Museum and The Center for Art in Wood. \nAt FWM\, experience Rose B. Simpson Dream House\, an immersive multi-room installation organized as a journey through the artist’s psyche. Inspired by Pueblo architecture\, her ancestral landscape\, and magical realism\, Simpson explores the imprints and through-lines that connect and orient her life as an artist\, an Indigenous person\, and a mother. Through unique displays of ceramics\, textiles\, sculptures\, paintings\, and Simpson’s first-ever works in video\, the artist invites us to navigate the contours of intimacy\, memory\, and belonging. \nAt The Center for Art in Wood\, discover the vessel as a source of inspiration for artists working in wood. Vessel: Embodiment\, Autonomy\, and Ornament in Wood explores eternal questions of offering and ownership\, concealment\, and emptiness. For millennia\, the idea of the vessel has been used to explain the secrets of the universe. This exhibition\, which includes works from the Center’s permanent collection as well as on loan\, demonstrates the breadth of reflection\, empowerment\, subversion\, and spiritual awareness inspired by the act of containment and the vessel form. \nFWM is located at 1214 Arch Street. After touring Rose B. Simpson: Dream House\, stroll down Arch Street and turn left on N 3rd to reach The Center for Art and Wood at 141 N. 3rd Street. \nThis event is co-organized with CraftNOW in conjunction with CraftMONTH and Rose B. Simpson: Dream House. \nPictured: At left: Rose B. Simpson\, in collaboration with The Fabric Workshop and Museum\, Philadelphia. Dream House (installation detail)\, 2022.

SUMMARY:Tour of Inspirations\, Influences\, and Collaborations: Selections from the Museum’s Permanent Collection with Mark Sfirri
DESCRIPTION:Tour of Inspirations\, Influences\, and Collaborations: Selections from the Museum’s Permanent Collection with Mark Sfirri | Fri. January 3\, 2025 | 6:30 – 7:30 pm ET | In-person\nWalk-ups Welcome \nJoin us for a First Friday tour with artist Mark Sfirri of Inspirations\, Influences\, and Collaborations: Selections from the Museum’s Permanent Collection. \nIn this companion exhibition to Mark Sfirri: La Famiglia\, Sfirri selected eight artists whose work has had an outsized impact on his process. Largely drawn from the museum’s permanent collection\, Inspirations\, Influences and Collaborations showcases a wellspring of creativity that has sustained and nurtured Sfirri’s artistic growth. \nNoting the significance of this curated exhibition\, Sfirri writes: \nChange is at the core of my artistic pursuits. To me it is synonymous with creativity. It’s a constant challenge to move past territory you’ve already explored\, but it is the most rewarding and exciting part of my studio work. Usually the result is successful\, to my mind\, because I experiment until I come up with an idea that pleases me. That doesn’t mean that it’s successful in terms of acceptance and sales\, but that is not a deterrent. I move on. Creative inspiration is such a delicate thing; it must be seized when it presents itself. Failure to act can so easily result in a lost opportunity. \nI have engaged in collaboration with other artists off and on for nearly 40 years. You have the chance\, when the chemistry is right\, to see into another person’s creative process when you are working with them\, leading to a result which neither of you would have arrived at on your own. Collaboration can also lead to a new view of your own work. There are several pieces in this presented here that highlight some of my earlier collaborative efforts. I’ve also chosen the work of artists who have pursued their own paths\, whose work has inspired and influenced me. \nThe Museum for Art in Wood interprets\, nurtures\, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art\, craft\, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it. A suggested donation of $5 per person enables us to provide programs and exhibitions throughout the year. \nDONATE \nQuestions? Please contact Katie Sorenson\, Director of Outreach and Communications\, at katie@museumforartinwood.org.

SUMMARY:Hold Signal: A Response to Distance - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Hold Signal: A Response to Distance | Thurs. April 17\, 2025 | 7:30 pm ET | In-person\nSOLD OUT \nHold Signal: A Response to Distance is an experiential tour of the Museum’s space through sound with artists Sam Gasparre and Colin Pezzano. This special event engages with echoes\, loops\, and resonances\, inviting participants to navigate the Museum in a new\, sensory way. Join us for a unique evening at the Museum like never before. \nSpace is limited. RSVP is required to attend this event. \n \nAbout the Artists \nSam Gasparre\nSamuel Gasparre is a Philadelphia musician and craftsman who works with guitars\, computers\, wood\, electronics\, and voice. His music has spanned genres\, from jazz to punk rock to free improvisation and he has performed in both concert halls and basements.  He apprenticed as a luthier and has worked in stringed instrument repair and woodworking for over a decade. Combining his background in composition and fabrication\, Sam makes and repairs the equipment used while performing. He is currently playing in the band DeStructos as well as hosting a local film screening series Cinema Diabolique. \n\n\nColin Pezzano\nColin Pezzano\, born in 1992\, is a woodworker\, printmaker\, and craft artist based in South Philadelphia. His practice combines digital and hand processes to infuse humor\, pathos\, and memory into his chosen materials. By relying on woodworking processes\, he connects his actions and memories to the traditions of his predecessors. \nColin graduated from the University Of The Arts in 2014. Upon graduation\, he received The Faculty Choice Award and The Windgate Fellowship.  After graduation\, Pezzano was featured in Craft Forms (2014) and interviewed in an article with American Craft. In the Spring of 2015\, Pezzano had his first solo show\, “Contain You\,” at Bridgette Mayer Gallery. In 2018\, Colin had his second solo show\, “Still Life With Dead Game\,” at Allens Lane Art Center. In 2022\, he received The Windgate-Lamar Fellowship Award through The Center for Craft. \nIn conjunction with the exhibition “Home as Stage” at the Wharton Esherick Museum in the fall of 2022\, Colin released a graphic novel titled Soma\, told in 45 woodcuts. A “mundane horror\,” the narrative investigates lived and imagined experience\, corporality\, and the passage of time. \nDuring his career Pezzano has participated in group shows\, juried exhibitions and attended residencies in the USA and Sweden. He maintains his practice in his basement studio. \nThis event is free to the public. The Museum for Art in Wood interprets\, nurtures\, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art\, craft\, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it. A suggested donation of $5 per person enables us to provide programs and exhibitions throughout the year. \nDONATE \nQuestions?
