This exhibit at Da Vinci Art Alliance aims to complement various citywide exhibits happening in conjunction with Philagrafika 2010, a multi-sited international festival of contemporary art (www. Philagrafika.org). Participating artists for “TEXT/TEXTILE” were encouraged to think text, grid, language, words, script, graphics; and think texture, technique, tradition, innovation!!!

As curator, I want to represent what is happening in Philadelphia’s own studios w/in the context of this specific challenge: text/textile. Studio artists, teaching artists, student artists, professional artisans, and exquisite crafters… all inclined to find & create a link with the concept/context of text/textile were invited to submit work, from which I chose select pieces, for this salon-style exhibition.

PARTICIPATING ARTISTS: Janelle Adamska, Wendelyn Anderson, Shelby Donnelly, Pat Doran, Marie H. Elcin, Beverly Godfrey, Lesley Haas, Pat dipaula Klein, Maryann Laverty, Craig Matthews, Caroline Maw-Deis, Maryanne McDevitt, Jeannie Moberly, Constance Drayton Old, Susan Clarke Plumb, Nora Renick-Rinehart, Lee Harper Schultz, Leslie Sudock, and Francine Strauss.
