SUMMARY:Stomping Ground: Closing Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the public reception of Stomping Ground  at the 20*20 House in Lansdowne!\n\n\nStomping Ground: Closing Reception Sunday\, October 19th\, 2pm-5pm@ 20*20 House  \nExhibition on view from August 30 – October 19\, 2025 \nJoin us for the closing public reception of Stomping Ground at the 20*20 House in Lansdowne!  \nThe Lansdowne Art Committee invites you to join us on October 19th for the closing reception of Stomping Ground at the 20*20 House. Enjoy the exhibition before it concludes and meet the featured artists. \nSTOMPING GROUNDOn view at 20*20 House from August 30 – October 19\, 2025 \nWhat does it mean to live in a city\, to move through it\, shape it\, and be shaped by it? \nIn Stomping Ground \, contemporary artists Eustace Mamba\, Kara Mshinda\, Sophie C. White\, and Nasir Young celebrate the everyday rhythms of Philadelphia. Their practices explore layered connections between personal memory\, urban space\, and cultural identity. They draw from real places\, “championing the mundane” as they elevate moments that often slip by unnoticed\, blending lived experience with imagination and aspiration. \nEustace Mamba draws on his West Indian heritage and Manhattan upbringing to challenge colonial visual norms and offer a textured look at contemporary American life. Kara Mshinda similarly considers identity\, cultural intersections\, and social dynamics in her work. Using anthropological methods to document city life\, she captures everything from graffiti and playgrounds to hastily posted signage. Her vivid scanographic collages uncover the rich stories embedded in street corners and telephone poles. \nSophie C. White’s plein-air paintings and intuitive papier-mâché sculptures are evidence of neighborhoods in flux. She mourns what’s disappearing while preserving an “artifact of a moment” with care and presence.

Follow along for more information Black Magic Woman Productions \n \nInspired by real events\, Tori Sampson’s “Cadillac Crew” dares to examine the under-recognized contribution of women in the Civil Rights Movement. Set in 1963\, the play tells the story of a group of female organizers eagerly anticipating the arrival of icon Rosa Parks. The first female to ever deliver the keynote address at the city’s convocation\, her speech will center on women’s rights. \n \nWhen Parks’ appearance is unceremoniously cancelled by the male leadership of the Virginia Office for Civil Rights\, the women grapple with whether the fight for equality includes them as well. \n \nBlack Magic Woman Productions grew out of a need to create opportunities for theatre artists of color. Since 2006\, BMW Productions has promoted an appreciation for the African-American theatre canon.

SUMMARY:Stomping Ground: Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the public reception of Stomping Ground  at the 20*20 House in Lansdowne!\n\n\nThe Lansdowne Art Committee invites you to join us on August 30th for the opening reception of Stomping Ground at the 20*20 House. \n \nSTOMPING GROUND \nOn view at 20*20 House from August 30 – October 19\, 2025 \n \nWhat does it mean to live in a city\, to move through it\, shape it\, and be shaped by it? \n \nIn Stomping Ground\, contemporary artists Eustace Mamba\, Kara Mshinda\, Sophie C. White\, and Nasir Young celebrate the everyday rhythms of Philadelphia. Their practices explore layered connections between personal memory\, urban space\, and cultural identity. They draw from real places\, “championing the mundane” as they elevate moments that often slip by unnoticed\, blending lived experience with imagination and aspiration. \nEustace Mamba draws on his West Indian heritage and Manhattan upbringing to challenge colonial visual norms and offer a textured look at contemporary American life. Kara Mshinda similarly considers identity\, cultural intersections\, and social dynamics in her work. Using anthropological methods to document city life\, she captures everything from graffiti and playgrounds to hastily posted signage. Her vivid scanographic collages uncover the rich stories embedded in street corners and telephone poles. \nSophie C. White’s plein-air paintings and intuitive papier-mâché sculptures are evidence of neighborhoods in flux. She mourns what’s disappearing while preserving an “artifact of a moment” with care and presence. Nasir Young’s paintings and sketches also dwell in the temporary\, capturing fleeting scenes from his time living in South Philly. Guided by happenstance\, he builds a “visual vocabulary” that shines light on what’s often passed over. \n \nTogether\, these artists encourage viewers to see the city not as a backdrop\, but as a living place shaped by human creativity\, memory\, and connection. In a city that’s constantly shifting\, where transformation carries both risk and possibility\, it can be hard to see and express our own place within it.

SUMMARY:Object Memory Gallery Opening
DESCRIPTION:TheLEDC’s Art Committee invites you to celebrate the opening of our newest art exhibit\, “Object Memory” on Saturday\, February 22\, from 5-8 P\n\n\nThe LEDC’s Art Committee invites you to join us for the opening reception for Object Memory on Saturday\, February 22\, from 5-8 PM at the 20*20 Gallery in Lansdowne\, PA. \nWithout prompting\, some objects have the ability to transport us to another time and place. These imprints\, however\, are often fragile and fallible — shaped by telling\, retelling\, omission\, and embellishment. \nIn Object Memory\, artists Jen Blazina and Ashley Catharine Smith collect\, mend\, and revise objects — some inherited from family members\, others left behind by strangers — to explore how the things we inherit can become objects of myth\, shaping our understanding of the past\, each other\, and ourselves. \nJen Blazina is a record keeper of memories. She salvages discarded objects\, revealing their worth as vessels of personal history. By recreating fragile items in bronze and glass\, she renders them durable against the wear of time\, preserving traces of stories that might otherwise fade. \nAshley Catharine Smith examines the forces of emotional expectations and gender roles\, unraveling how they shape relationships and narratives of identity. Using objects from family members as a foundation\, her work confronts fractures of trust\, both within her family and in a society that has repeatedly betrayed the trust of women. \nPlayful at times and poignant at others\, Blazina and Smith’s charged objects evoke cherished memories and honor past lives\, while acknowledging the weight of anxiety and intergenerational trauma. Together they remind us that repair — whether of objects\, relationships\, or histories — is an ongoing process of adaptation and reinvention. What stories can we mend? In what ways do we revise them? And why should we make space for time-worn objects in our modern lives? \n \n \nPublic gallery hours are Saturdays and Sundays\, noon – 4 pm. \n \nThis exhibition is organized by the LEDC’s Art Committee\, a volunteer group of The Lansdowne Economic Development Corporation. The mission of the LEDC’s Arts Committee is to create\, foster\, and promote Lansdowne’s identity as a vibrant and inspiring artistic community. The LEDC’s Art Committee is dedicated to nurturing creative expression\, enhancing community engagement\, stimulating economic growth\, preserving and celebrating Lansdowne’s diversity\, and cultivating arts education and access. \n \nThe 20*20 House is a Lansdowne Borough-owned property. Originally a residential home built in the early 19th century\, the 20*20 House has been transformed into a community space with gallery spaces on 2 floors\, a dedicated workshop space\, as well as a yoga studio. \n \nAccessibility Statement of 20*20 House: \nThe LEDC and Lansdowne Art Committee are committed to provide a welcoming and accessible environment for all individuals\, including those with disabilities. We strive to ensure that our facilities\, services\, and events are as accessible as we can make them\, giving you the confidence to visit us. \nParking \nThere are several dedicated parking spaces on campus available to the public\, as well as additional street parking along Lansdowne Court. \nThere is a passenger drop-off area on the rear accessibility ramp. \nFirst Floor Accessibility \nInclusive Design: Our first floor is designed to be inclusive and ensure accessibility for all. \nApproachable Entrance: Our accessible entrance is in the back of the house.

SUMMARY:Play Reading - Ushers in the House
DESCRIPTION:Please join BLACK MAGIC WOMAN Productions on Monday\, February 10\, at 6 pm for a script-in-hand reading of “Ushers In The House\,” a new one-act drama by Joseph P. Blake. Admission is free\, light refreshments provided. \nPLAY SYNOPSIS:\nAt 85\, Oscar Thomas is a Vietnam Veteran\, former Black Panther\, widower\, father\, and a grandfather. He’s also worked as a farm laborer\, spent four decades as a postal worker. In the sunset of his life he’s begun to contemplate his legacy and the possessions he wants to leave his family. The latter has forced him to grapple with the painful fact that items he considers heirlooms are insignificant to his family and viewed as relics of a past just as insignificant to them. \nA painting entitled “Ushers” is among the things Oscar has collected since his daughters were children. Oscar’s perceptions of the the world are now viewed through lenses where things like humility\, courage\, and familial loyalty are becoming as obsolete as a rotary phone. \nNote: A brief Talk-back with the actors and the playwright will follow this premiere reading!
