SUMMARY:Three Different Types of Mark Making- Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit showcases three mediums to highlight the overshadowed aspects of society. Whether it comes from personal experiences or a general fascination\, Sean Christopher\, Dominique Samarco\, and David Herman Jr. use their artist tools to expose the most vulnerable within our communities that tend to be ignored. Three Different Types of Mark Making hopes to open honest conversations\, encourage self reflection\, and make you look at things in a way you may not have to in day-to-day life. \nSean Christopher’s Statement: \nBlack Bodies uses watercolor to explore identity\, visibility\, and freedom. The medium reflects vulnerability and strength through its fluidity and transparency. Black Bodies celebrates and honors the emotional and historical weight the body carries. This series welcomes a space for dialogue\, reflection\, and healing\, transforming personal experience into collective understanding. \nDominique Samarco’s Statement: \nDreams project utopian futures. As educators\, we hold the responsibility to inspire students. I use Philadelphia to map out profound love alongside systemic instability. Through currere\, I retrace my working-class roots to analyze larger issues\, translating memory and emotion into a visual language that examines who I was\, am\, and am becoming. \nDavid Herman Jr.’s Statement: \nPhotography studies fields of attention. I investigate how perception emerges through color\, form\, materiality\, and the built environment. I seek to understand how bodies know themselves in relation to the world. What is often encountered as everyday background continually shapes movement\, feeling\, orientation\, and meaning. I explore how the world continually participates in the formation of perception and experience. \nJoin the opening of Three Different Types of Mark Making to see three artists’ interpretations of art. The opening will be on August 21st\, 6:00 PM- 8:00 PM and held in the Kiosk Gallery at Utility Works (32 E Baltimore Ave\, Lansdowne\, PA 19050). See you then! \nAbout the Gallery\nThis exhibition is organized by the Lansdowne Art Committee\, a volunteer group of The Lansdowne Economic Development Corporation.

SUMMARY:"Possession: Body\, Memory\, Home " Gallery at Scribe
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Friday\, July 24\, 4 – 6:30 PM \nThis exhibit brings together the work of artists Jihan Thomas\, Efi Green\, and Linda Fernandez in an exhibition exploring healing\, identity\, and self-possession through deeply personal visual language. Across painting\, mixed media\, abstraction\, and symbolism\, the artists transform experiences of grief\, motherhood\, migration\, mental health\, and cultural memory into spaces of reflection and resilience. Rooted in vivid color\, expressive gesture\, and layered storytelling\, Possession considers home not only as a physical place\, but as something carried within the body\, memory\, and spirit. Together\, these works affirm art’s power to hold vulnerability\, transformation\, and collective care in times of uncertainty. \nFREE \nThe exhibition will be on view at Scribe Video Center Monday through Friday\, 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM\, from July 24 to September 12. \nThe Gary Smalls Gallery Project at Scribe is curated by Tamara Mason.
