My Space on 7th, a new tradition (second year) at Touchstone Gallery fulfills two perpetual needs: that of artists for exhibition space, and that of collectors for work they don't yet know, often at bargain prices. The beginning artist has the chance to be discovered, while the established artist has the opportunity to go in a totally new direction.
Join me and all the other artists participating in this year's show, opening July 7th, for a explosion of art that will fill the main gallery!
Building on the success of last year’s show, three-dimensional works will be included this year as well. Due to an overwhelming response all wall spaces sold out within the first half hour of registration, which was by e-mail only, on a first-come, first-served basis.

“Women Helping Women: Stitch by Stitch”
Afghan Women’s Collaboration with the
Women’s Caucus for Art Philadelphia Chapter
Exhibition: May 2, 2008-May 31, 2008
City County Building, Wilmington, DE
The WCA-Philadelphia has partnered with Rubia to organize the collaborative project, entitled: “Women Helping Women: Stitch by Stitch.” The project involved the creation of a quilt, which showcases the work of women from Darrai Noor, Afghanistan and over 25 American women artists from the Women’s Caucus for Art and Rubia. These large embroidered tapestries are fine examples of the culture of embroidery in Central Asia and its association with women, in particular.
The United States artists observed the embroidered motifs found in Rubia’s handwork, which include the poppy, the peacock, and the swirling sun as found on the Rubia Website (http://www.rubiahandwork.org). Each square piece is an interpretation of a Rubia embroidery. The Women’s Caucus for Art Philadelphia chapter assembled the larger tapestry combining embroidery from Afghan women and each artist’s 10 x 10 inch piece to create an impressive and intricate tapestry.
The show will debut at the Redding Gallery in the City County Building in Wilmington, DE. The show will then travel to the Grace Episcopal Church in Merchantville, NJ. Shows across the nation are pending approval as many artists wish to see the quilt exhibited their home towns. The quilted piece will be showcased at the DC Chapter’s Networking Day at the Arts Club of Washington, DC on April 5.
Rubia is a project of Social Environmental Entrepeneurs (SEE), a registered 501(c) [3], which provides non-profit status. Rubia serves women in Afghanistan, offering education, skills training and income opportunities through the promotion of their traditional handwork. Rubia is committed to building sustainable business in a fragile environment, empowering women while respecting traditional ways, reviving and preserving traditional crafts.
“Women Helping Women: Stitch by Stitch” opens with “Environmental Distress: Work by the Women’s Caucus for Art, Philadelphia Chapter” May 2, 2008 at the Redding Gallery, City County Building, Wilmington, DE. Live Performances by Sigma Alpha Iota Women’s Music Fraternity, Temple University Chapter, FREE.
