SUMMARY:NIGHT NIGHT: An Immersive Art + Sound Deep Listening Experience
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an immersive art viewing and sound bath experience with Sound Therapy Practitioner + Recording Artist Luna Maye.\n\n\nAn early evening invitation to slow perception\, soften the nervous system\, and listen deeply. \n“Night Night” is a guided sound meditation and blue lotus tea ceremony held within Night\, Night\, a solo exhibition of new paintings by Branche Coverdale. This experience brings together fine art\, sound\, and ritual to support deep rest\, stress reduction\, and sleep readiness. \nSet among paintings that explore dreams\, out-of-body experiences\, and the quiet comforts of nighttime\, guests are invited to witness the exhibition while gently traveling inward. Image\, sound\, and sensation meet in a shared exploration of the conscious\, subconscious\, and unconscious material we often process through rest and sleep. \nThis is not a performance or a lecture. \nIt is an immersive\, deep-listening experience. \nA way of relating differently to art\, sound\, and rest. \nTHE EXPERIENCE\nThe evening unfolds in three movements: \n• Arrival + Artist Welcome\nGuests are welcomed into the gallery and invited to settle. Sara\, owner of Paradigm Gallery + Studio\, opens the evening with a brief welcome and introduces the featured artist. The artist shares reflections from their lived experience with the work\, offering context and inspiration for deep looking and personal inquiry as the collection is witnessed. \n• Sound + Blue Lotus Tea Ceremony\nLuna Maye then invites guests into relationship with their individually served cup of blue lotus tea\, offering gentle context around its traditional uses and calming properties. Satin eye masks are provided to support sensory softening and inward focus. \nGuests are guided through a 60-minute seated sound meditation using neuroscience-informed frequencies\, harmonics\, and overtones designed to support nervous system down-regulation\, stress relief\, and sleep preparation. The sound journey mirrors the inner terrain reflected in the artwork: dreams\, memory\, and the spaces between waking and sleep. \nIntegration\nThe experience closes with quiet time for integration\, allowing the body and mind to settle before re-entering the evening. \nWHAT TO EXPECT\n\nA fine-art gallery setting designed for reflection and deep listening\nArtist welcome and contextual framing of the exhibition\nIndividually served blue lotus tea\nSatin eye masks are provided to support inward attention\nA guided\, seated sound meditation led by Luna Maye\nExtended periods of sound\, stillness\, and inner imagery\nA gentle closing and integration period\n\n \nSCHEDULE\nSunday\, March 1st \n\n5:45 PM · Doors open\, arrive\, and settle\n6:00 PM · Welcome + artist reflections\n6:15 PM · Sound meditation + tea ceremony (60 minutes)\n7:15 PM · Integration and gentle close\n7:30 PM · Experience concludes\n\nPlease arrive on time to honor the shared container. \nWHAT TO BRING\n\nComfortable attire suitable for seated stillness\nA water bottle\nOptional personal layer for warmth\n\n(Yoga mats are not needed for this experience.) \nBENEFITS OF SOUND MEDITATION\n\nSupports nervous system regulation and deep relaxation\nReduces stress and mental overactivity\nEncourages brainwave states associated with rest and sleep\nSupports subconscious processing and emotional integration\nCreates space for reflection and inner clarity\n\nBENEFITS OF BLUE LOTUS TEA\n\nTraditionally used to promote calm and relaxation\nSupports stress reduction and gentle mood elevation\nEncourages an easy transition into rest and sleep\nSoftens mental chatter and sensory overstimulation\n\nABOUT THE ARTIST\nBranche Coverdale is a Philadelphia-based artist originally from Yonkers\, New York. His expressive\, playful practice blends cartoon language\, pop culture\, and urban experience\, informed by silkscreen techniques developed during his time at the Rhode Island School of Design. \nCoverdale spent several years traveling between New York and Japan as a studio assistant for Takashi Murakami. This influence continues to shape his exploration of city life\, representation\, and the blurred boundaries between reality and fiction. His work frequently employs iconic symbols and recurring motifs\, including the doppelgänger\, as invitations to consider multiple realities existing at once. \nHis recognitions include the Mural Arts Fellowship for Black Artists (2022)\, New York Times Best Illustrations (2024)\, and Best of Philly (2025). His work spans public murals\, gallery exhibitions\, and major editorial commissions\, including illustrations for The New York Times. \nACCESS + NOTES\n\nThis is a seated meditation experience\nSatin eye masks and blue lotus tea are provided\nGuests are encouraged to arrive nourished and comfortably digested\nNo prior experience with sound meditation or tea ceremony is required\nShoes will be removed before entering the practice space\nTickets are final sale and non-transferable\n\n \nNight Night is an invitation to meet rest as an art form. \nTo listen beneath language. \nTo let sleep begin before the lights go out.

In a feast-for-the-eye display\, Rich will unveil over 200 speech bubbles\, animals\, and objects\, which illustrate the humor\, enthusiasm\, and attitude of the city and its inhabitants.

As artists known for creating spontaneous environments marrying commotion and color\, Greiman\, Kenney\, and Seckel come together to ask the question\, “What is a garden?” Turning away from the manicured or disciplined\, these artists explore cultivation as a lived-in environment\, enhanced by the frenzy of humans and their wares. No Garden is a self-fulfilling prophecy of giving a dismal landscape a decorative title and accidentally manifesting the beauty that comes with the name. \nPlease email info@paradigm-gallery.com to receive the Collector Preview for the upcoming exhibition No Garden\, or submit your request HERE. \nAll artists will be in attendance with opportunities to view and collect artwork from 3 floors of the Paradigm Arts Building. \nThe reception is free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Kelly Kozma Solo  //"Care Instructions" Group Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the opening for 2 exciting exhibitions with opportunities to collect artwork from all 3 floors.\n\n\nPlease join us as we celebrate two exciting exhibtions centered around reuse and sustainable art practices.  \nArtists will be in attendance with opportunities to view and collect artwork from 3 floors of the Paradigm Arts Building. \nKelly Kozma: Watch Me Backflip \nEntering her 14th year working with Paradigm\, Kozma will be unveiling a massive culmination documenting her career and process-intensive work. The artist is celebrating her personal relationships\, archiving methods\, and resilience with a massive 22-foot-wide installation comprised of 35\,000 hand-stitched circles cut from various repurposed materials. The cosmic work titled Iguana & Myrrh\, Magma & Reef\, consists of everyday objects like greeting cards\, food packaging\, and thread expertly woven and given new life as bursts of color and pattern in the largest scale the artist has ever attempted. Kozma is purposefully engaging in a minimal-waste practice where even paper scraps and loose threads from the installation will find new life within over 20 mixed media works that will call to the large assemblage. As she stitches these lovingly collected pieces\, Kozma creates connections between the people in her life and the objects she interacts with\, inspiring mindfulness against overconsumption and emotional apathy. \nPlease email info@paradigm-gallery.com if you wish to be added to Kelly Kozma’s digital collector preview list for her upcoming exhibition. You may also submit your request HERE. \nCare Instructions: Work by Vanessa Barragão\, Allison May Kiphuth\, Nayan & Venus\, and RAIR Philly \nParadigm Gallery + Studio is pleased to present Care Instructions\, a collection of artists and makers across three continents that incorporate elements of reuse\, recycling\, and environmental awareness in their work. With intentions for sustainability\, each of these artists has developed their practice to include discarded or natural materials while engaging in active research and preservation efforts. These meticulously constructed versions of coral reefs\, woodlands\, and aviary populations inspire the obligation to take care of the environment and combat single-use material culture. The exhibition is a showcase on how powerful design and material reuse in craftsmanship can be aesthetically pleasing. The artists aren’t just actively charging the work to spread a message\, they’re putting the message into practice and showing the spectacular results. \nPlease email info@paradigm-gallery.com if you wish to be added to the digital collector preview list for the upcoming exhibition. \nThe reception is free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception for "Under the Influence"\, Curated by Ginger Rudolph
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the opening of a 2-person exhibition\, featuring the work of Eustace Mamba and Alain Jean-Baptiste.\n\n\nParadigm Gallery + Studio is pleased to present Under the Influence\, a two-person exhibition curated by writer and curator Ginger Rudolph. Rudolph believes that art has the power to document\, process\, and transform personal experiences\, which she illustrates through the work of fine artist Eustace Mamba and painter Alain Jean-Baptiste. Rudolph encourages these artists to explore deeply personal forces–family memories\, environmental traumas\, career triumphs– that have shaped their creative paths to fashion a narrative championing cultural heritage\, identity\, and self-discovery. \nEustace Mamba approaches his work as a cross-section of history\, sociology\, and psychology interwoven into eclectic collaged portraits\, cityscapes\, and reconstructed ephemera. His multidisciplinary background in photography\, graphic design\, and painting gives him the confidence to experiment with different materials and processes to assemble an expansive configuration of contemporary Black life. \nAlain Jean-Baptiste dives deep into his memory\, happily growing up in Haiti until everything changed when a 7.0 magnitude earthquake destroyed his family’s home and immobilized the country’s economic growth.  \nPlease email info@paradigm-gallery.com if you wish to receive the digital collector preview list for the above exhibition. You may also submit your request HERE. \nThe reception is free and open to all. All artwork will be available to collect during the opening.Please email info@paradigm-gallery for any inquiries prior to the reception. \nAlso on display: \nKatherine Fraser: The Female Gaze \nRead the press release here \nKay Seohyung Lee’s “Dark”: \nArtwork by Danielle SeeWalker \nRead the press release here \nand many more artists!

SUMMARY:November Featured Collections Opening Reception at Paradigm Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for First Friday to celebrate new releases from over 8 artists  and view/collect on all gallery floors.\n\n\nParadigm Gallery + Studio is pleased to present three distinct collections championing craft and reinvention for CraftNOW 2024. Artists Ulla-Stina Wikander\, Yoonmi Nam\, and Andrew Jeffrey Wright have spent many years honing in on their respective crafts that incorporate the use and repetition of found materials. In a time where new objects are constantly produced with diminishing relevance and single-use purpose\, we uplift unique methods of upcycling in art that recontextualizes material to expand on larger ideas of craftsmanship\, methods of production\, and the functionality of objects. Each artist creates artwork through layering of old and new construction\, bringing new life to past pieces and not letting matter go to waste. Featured Collections: Ulla-Stina Wikander\, Yoonmi Nam\, & Andrew Jeffrey Wright will be on view on the first floor of the Paradigm Arts Building (12 N 3rd St) from November through December 1\, 2024\, with a public opening reception on Friday\, November 1 from 6:00-8:00 pm. \nPlease join us for the first in-person look at our newest collections: \nUlla-Stina Wikander: Communication \nYoonmi Nam: Generally Meant to Be Discarded \nAndrew Jeffrey Wright: Super Rare series \nRead the press release here: \nhttps://www.paradigmarts.org/blogs/news/featured-collections-ulla-stina-wikander-yoonmi-nam-and-andrew-jeffrey-wright \nAlso on display for First Friday: \nShawn Theodore: A Race of Angels \nRead the press release here: \nhttps://www.paradigmarts.org/blogs/news/shawn-theodore-a-race-of-angels \nKyle Montgomery: Crystal Mary series \nNazeer Sabree: TRF-98 series \nAndré Schulze: Pixelated Paintings \n+ \na variety of curated books and limited edition prints ready to be taken home and gifted for the holiday season. \n \nAll artwork will be available for purchase.

SUMMARY:"The Mother Artist" Book Launch Party
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening celebrating the book launch of “The Mother Artist: Portraits of Ambition\, Limitation\, and Creativity”.\n\n\n“The only reason you’ll want to put down Ricketts’s lyrical tour de force is to make more art.”—Sarah Sentilles\, author of Stranger Care: A Memoir of Loving What Isn’t Ours \n \nJoin us for an evening celebrating the launch of The Mother Artist: Portraits of Ambition\, Limitaiton\, and Creativity as well as the many luminous contributions that mother artists make to the Philadelphia arts community on the 3rd floor of the Paradigm Arts Building. Light food and beverages will be served\, and the author will give a reading at 6:00 p.m. \nThe Mother Artist\, by Philadelphia writer Catherine Ricketts\, weaves memoir with studies of the art and lives of modern and contemporary women artists who had children. Highlighting 20th-century artists like Ruth Asawa\, Elizabeth Catlett\, and Alice Neel\, as well as contemporary Philadelphia artists like Alison Dilworth\, Aimee Koran\, Becky Suss\, and Mickayel Thurin\, The Mother Artist debunks the myth that to be an artist you must give up a family life\, demonstrates the very real challenges facing women who aspire to rise in their disciplines\, and explores the humanizing vision that caregivers bring to the making and shaping of culture. Rachel Yoder (Nightbitch) calls this book “brilliant and open-hearted\,” while James KA Smith (editor\, Image) writes\, “Read this if you’re a mother and an artist\, to be sure; but read this\, too\, if you’re human and hope for a different world.” \nAdmisssion includes a copy of Catherine Ricketts’s book The Mother Artist \nKids under 12 are free to attend. Dress code is festive. \n \nSchedule: \nWellspring: A Mother Artist Project is thrilled to partner with Catherine Ricketts and Paradigm Gallery to launch her amazing new book! Let’s CELEBRATE!
