Coming October 13th: "Sideways: a Poets and Artists
Collaboration" - The Chestnut Hill Gallery is thrilled to be
hosting this collaboration of established poets and artists who will
work together in a cooperative, creative effort which will culminate in a
poetry reading, reception and one-week show.
SideWays will run from October 13 – October 20. The public is invited
to the opening reception at 6-10 p.m. on Saturday, October 13. The artists
will be introduced and the poets will read from their works at 7 p.m. The
show includes paintings, photographs, sculpture and poems which have been
written responsively to these works. Each poet was paired with an artist and
wrote responsively to four of his or her works. In so doing, the artist
found new ways of looking at his own work, the poet found compelling images
for his imaginative use, and we hope the audience will find not only two
distinct works of art, but a third, in the complex relationship between the
two. Click here for the entire press release.

in their community. These artists will be showing as a group at various venues
throughout the area during the month of October in conjunction with the eighth
annual Philadelphia Open Studio Tours which will take place in the Northwest
