About The Open Kitchen Sculpture Garden (TOKSG)
TOKSG is a living-visionary project that seeks to initiate a movement of collaboration, education, and sustainability through the use of art and food. It is currently revitalizing and enhancing the Norris Square community, through the creation of an innovative and artistic gathering space that promotes unity and well-being. The essence of the project is simple yet profound; it’s process is organic and concrete, literally and metaphorically. It is transforming not only the physical space, but also stimulating and motivating individuals to engage with their environment. It is an example of a direct and simple solution that is accessible in any community, demonstrating what can be done when people come together to share talents, resources, and skills.
The Center for Emerging Visual Artists (CFEVA) exists with a mission to cultivate, nurture and advance the careers of artists. Also aiming to engage the public more fully in our local art scene, CFEVA expands opportunities to discover and connect with art through city-wide programming and community building initiatives. Approaching arts programming through a new lens, CFEVA’s services are designed to raise the profile of Philadelphia’s professional artists, build upon its strength in bringing the creative process into the public realm, foster artistic experimentation and innovation, and showcase how vibrant artistic communities boost cultural tourism and foster economic development.
Through fellowships, residencies, educational outreach, exhibitions, professional development, and city-wide events, CFEVA provides artists with the tangible resources needed to develop viable and sustainable careers and deepens public understanding of the visual arts space in Greater Philadelphia.
