TAXING PROPOSAL: Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter wants to raise taxes to help pay for schools and his administration recently introduced a new website that shows residents how much their property taxes will go up and what they’ll pay for.

New website shows howPhilly taxes will be used tofund schoolsBy Evan GrossmanWatchdog.org

A new website is bringing increased transparency to Philadelphia’s school fund-

ing issue during a critical time for the cash-strapped school district.

Mayor Michael Nutter wants to raise taxes to pay for $105 million in new, recurring funding for the School District of Philadelphia. And so there are no surprises for residents whose property taxes are expected to spike more than 9 percent in 2016, the city launched

an interactive website that tracks how much their taxes will jump, and how that money will be spent to fund schools.

“I want to encourage every Philadelphian to log on and see how the proposed tax increase will aff ect them and how the district proposes to use those funds,” Nut-ter said.

The website breaks down expected annual property tax in-creases down to the month, week and day for residents, based on their address. The site also fore-casts which local schools their

extra taxes will directly fund and how that money will be spent on teachers, support staff and equip-ment and supplies.

Philadelphia schools are poorly supplied, with many classrooms

without educational necessities like certain books. Other schools are short on basic supplies like pa-per, toilet paper and paper towels.

While several polls have shown

Philadelphia honorsone of its heroines:Marciene MattlemanBy Nicole ContostaStaff Reporter

At 85-years-old, Dr. Marciene S. Mattleman recently an-nounced her retirement as

the chair of After School Activities Partnership (ASAP).

“But the idea that’s she some-how in retirement, I actually just don’t believe it,” said Mayor Michael Nutter moments before handing Mattleman a citation at a standing-room tribute ceremony Wednesday, May 27th.

Nutter’s joke speaks volumes to Mattleman’s fi fty years of public service towards literacy and edu-cation.

Marciene Mattleman, who be-gan her career as a sixth grade teacher, later earning her Ph.D in education at Temple University, founded the Mayor’s Commission for Literacy, Youth Education for

Tomorrow, Philadelphia Reads, Philadelphia Futures and ASAP.

“Marciene has started more public service organizations in this city than any other person in the city’s history,” Nutter emphasized.

But it isn’t just Mattleman’s boundless energy that endears her to friends and colleagues.

“No one has ever done more for the city and no one ever will,” said former Governor and Mayor Ed Rendell. “The secret of her success is that she’s impossible,” Rendell continued of her unmitigated resolve in having her programs implemented. When fi rst meeting her, Rendell relayed that although he thought her programs were great, he had to say no, “because the city didn’t have any money.”

Though the word “no” did not deter Mattleman.

“So eventually, I came to the

that education remains paramount to city residents, the idea of paying higher taxes has not been well re-

ceived. The City Council is ultimately responsible for approving or rejecting Nut-ter’s proposed budget, and early indications are that it will not pass.

“I think that’s not the

right way to go,” Council-man Mark Squilla said.

The idea of raising taxes in a city with almost 85 per-cent of residents economi-cally challenged and on the heels of another property tax increase less than a year ago will be a tough sell.

“We have an obligation to provide Philadelphia’s children with a high-quality education that prepares them for college and ca-reer,” Nutter said. “Our kids deserve a fair chance at a successful future, but they won’t get it with insuffi cient school funding.”

In addition to proposed funding from the city, the district is also hopeful that another $150 million Gov. Tom Wolf promised in his state budget proposal is approved by Harrisburg. Philadelphia schools stand to gain an additional $264.7 million, on top of the $2.2 billion they already receive from state and local taxpay-ers, if both Wolf and Nut-ter’s budgets are approved later this year.

Without additional sup-port, the district faces an $80 million defi cit.

While those extra funding streams are not guaranteed, the district’s budget for next year is due at the end of May. Because neither the state nor city budgets will be approved by then, the district will likely seek an extension for the second year in a row.

realization that no matter how many times I said no to Marciene, I would say yes. She never stopped and she never will.”

The Mayor’s Commission for Literacy, founded during the Goode Administration, was fi rst brought to his at-

tention when campaigning in 1983. That’s when Goode learned from Mattleman “that forty percent of the population in Philadelphia could not read above a fourth grade level.”

For Goode, whose father never learned to read or write, increasing literacy in the city was one of his key objectives. “But I did not know the perfect per-son for this position until I met Marciene. She took it beyond my wildest expecta-tions.

She took the program to the city’s churches and schools,” Goode continued. “Before I knew it, it was the most popular program in the country. In fact, during the time I was Mayor, no other city in the country had a program that innovated what we had here.”

To former US Ambas-sador Joseph Torsella, his meeting Mattleman and Goode changed his life’s trajectory.

“It was Wilson Goode who gave me my fi rst big career break,” Torsella said of his involvement in Goode’s campaign as a college sophomore. “I met Marciene on my fi rst week when she told me everything I was doing was wrong,” Torsella said, ex-plaining, the meeting was “followed by encourage-ment and years of feeding me, mentoring me, pushing me, very frequently pushing me. She expanded my hori-zons in every possible way as a peer and as someone with more potential than I’d ever imagined for myself.”

Torsella, who also in-terned for Mattleman ex-plained, “I learned more in those years than I did in any classroom. I learned the diff erence between the mil-lions of great ideas out there and the few that actually happen…I learned that one person, through sheer force of will, can change the entire direction of literacy.

When I used to say I worked for her,” Torsella continued, “she said, ‘no. You work with me. And we’re colleagues.’”

Mattleman also changed the course of Blakely Coo-per’s life. As a 38-year-old businessman, Cooper shared memories of Mattle-man, who mentored him through high school, col-lege, his career, marriage, fatherhood and battle with cancer. Good-humoredly, Cooper explained that Mattleman called to ask him what she always had before the ceremony, “What are you going to wear? What are you going to say? And are going to show up on time?”

True to form, Mattleman didn’t just bask in the glow of accolades.

At last week’s ceremony she asked a staff er to discuss the Marciene Mattleman Founder’s Fund, which is in the process of raising $500,00 for the 5,000 kids ASAP serves each year. ASAP, for those who know, has a robust chess program.

Mayor Nutter had some-thing to say on the subject of playing chess with kids dur-ing ASAP tournaments. And that’s humility. “I lost every time,” Nutter said, noting that the Democratic candi-date for Mayor, Jim Kenney, who attended last week’s ceremony “should get used to losing.”

when it issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) to fi nd vendors to move school property to other locations across the district. Wright, who at the time, was a Manager of Small Business Development, used her po-sition to make sure a vendor and related subcontractors – all friends and family – were paid with the public’s funds.

“Priscilla Wright used her employment at the School District of Philadelphia to not only position herself as the ‘ringleader’, but she steered a lucrative contract to her friends and family and stayed involved with the contract to make sure that everyone she wanted got paid as schools closed across the city,” said District Attorney Seth Williams. “Ms. Wright and her fam-ily are a perfect example of why we need to never stop reviewing and overseeing how the public’s money is spent, because once we remove the checks and bal-ances, the fox all too often raids the henhouse.”

Shortly before the bid deadline, Wright placed a

call from her school district desk phone to Sam and Ser-ena Murphy to encourage them to apply. Sam and Ser-ena are a husband and wife team who own and operate Murphy’s Transporting Ser-vices, an entity that had pre-viously done work for the SDP and the Philadelphia Housing Authority.

Once Wright convinced the Murphys to apply, she began “putting together a team” who would operate under the “Murphy’s Trans-porting Services” name and give Wright the ability to steer public funds to those of her choosing. Specifi cally, Kia Steave and Angel Hack-ney, who acted as agents for Wright; “anonymous” partners who were Wright’s own son (John Nelson Brown posing as Tatoe Con-struction) and Wright’s sis-ter (Laverne Rodney posing as Boost Enterprises); and other family members who shared in the project’s pro-ceeds. Those family mem-bers were Wright’s sister Veronica Wright, Wright’s daughter Brittany Davis and Wright’s nephew Gregory Wright.

Wright’s family members were placed in positions of profi t and control. Some family members were in-

City Controller Alan Butkovitz recently released an economic analysis of the proposed Market East Gal-lery mall renovation that indicates as much as $194 million in new tax revenue would be generated over 20 years, if the City approved a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) plan for the develop-ers.

By allowing the develop-ers, the Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust and Macerich, to enter into a TIF, it would allow them to revamp the mall, creat-ing more jobs and boosting overall economic growth. The TIF acts as a loan that is repaid by projected future tax increases, which the City is not liable for even if the payments do not meet pro-jections.

In return, the City would gain new revenues from Sales, Wage, Use and Oc-cupancy and Liquor tax-es. “This plan would grow our local economy and it makes economic sense for the taxpayers of Philadel-phia,” said Butkovitz. “It would provide much-need-ed additional revenues for our schools and help reduce

our pension liability.”According to the Phila-

delphia Industrial Devel-opment Corporation, the Gallery mall renovation is expected to increase occu-pancy rates from the current 60 percent to 93 percent. If the City continued to main-tain the Gallery mall at its current level and provided no TIF for the renovation, it would generate $56 million in tax revenues over the 20 years, instead of $250 mil-lion with the TIF.

“This is a zero-risk in-vestment for the City that could generate $194 million in new tax revenues,” said Butkovitz. “Similar financ-ing projects in Philadelphia have all generated more tax revenue after the TIF than before it.”

In addition, the renovated mall would create 3,950 permanent jobs, which 1,400 will be new jobs. There will be a commitment to 25 to 30 percent minority-owned inclusion among tenants of the new mall. However, the current TIF proposal does not address the City’s requirement that recipients of City financial assistance adhere to minimum wage and benefit standards, as long as they employ at least 25 workers.

“City Council needs to insist on including language in the proposal that would uphold the City Code relat-ing to job quality,” said But-kovitz. “It is important that this proposed development provide not only new em-ployment opportunities but offer good paying jobs.”

pact Statement – Proposed Market East Tax Incre-ment Financing District”, visit www.philadelphiacon-troller.org

Following the announce-ment that the U.S. Depart-ment of Justice has reached a settlement with the Cleveland Police Depart-ment over officer conduct, state Rep. Vanessa Lowery Brown, D-Phila., Chair-woman of the Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus, and its membership ex-pressed optimism on behalf of the city, its residents, and the family and friends of the victims.

The results of the settle-ment are expected to be announced sometime this week and come just days after a Cleveland police of-ficer was found not guilty in the 2012 fatal shooting of two unarmed, black oc-cupants inside a car. The acquittal prompted protests in the city.

"While the judge’s ruling went for the police officer, which outraged many peo-ple in the city of Cleveland, we all must remember that all lives matter," Brown said. "The PLBC emphasizes its faith and optimism in hearing the results of the settlement and that the is-sues with the Cleveland Police Department will be addressed by the DOJ with its decree.

"The PLBC truly remains committed to finding real solutions to the issues that plague our cities and minor-ity populations. With the many injustices that have occurred across the nation involving law enforcement, we must take a proactive approach to prevent similar incidents from happening in Pennsylvania. It is impor-tant and necessary that we build a bridge between the public and law enforcement to create a level of trust

that has been lacking to the west of us in Cleveland, to the south of us in Baltimore and other areas marked by unrest."

Our neighborhood quality of life is get-ting worse and worse,

we need immediate atten-tion from Leadership!

If the next Mayor and newly elected City Council don’t seriously do some-

thing about License and In-spections and neighborhood quality of life, I don’t know what I am going to do over here in Southwest Philly. The absolute worst run depart-ment in the City. No Excuses anymore!

Now when you call Philly 311 for a neighborhood nui-sance quality of life issue i.e., overgrown grass, illegal boarding homes, construc-tion without a permit, they have to transfer you over to L&I. I am on hold now and the phone has now rung 45 rings and no answer?

We need to have a way to protect long time home-owners and the neighbor-hood nuisances we are over-whelmed with over here. I can’t give up because I can’t afford to move out of this City. I literally don’t know what to do. You all should see Woodland Avenue and the surrounding blocks of trash everywhere. Where is SWEEP? Who do we call

when good neighbors have to suffer under 3rd World conditions?

Wow after 95 rings some-one finally picked up. I described the issue here is the reference #09200753. I already know what the out-come is going to be; “un-founded” or it will be erased from the system like there never was a report. This has happened on numerous oc-casions to me.

serted directly into a profi t share agreement. And oth-ers were placed in adminis-trative functions for profi t. For example, she forced out the Murphy’s own accoun-tant and replaced him with her sister Veronica Wright, concentrating the contract’s payroll and bookkeeping functions.

When Priscilla Wright came before the grand jury, she denied that she took any action during the project. Her testimony was contra-

dicted by her actions, other witnesses and the emails she sent from her SDP email account. In a notable instance, Priscilla Wright claimed she never reviewed the documents that became the basis of the subcontract. She also claimed that she was not involved in the subcontract or any project management. Those claims, under oath, were found to be demonstrably false by the grand jury.

Priscilla Wright (date of birth: 12/3/64) turned herself in and was arrested today. She has resigned from her employment with the SDP.

Hello and welcome to the 84th Annual June Rittenhouse Square

Fine Art Show. On behalf of the board of directors of the Rittenhouse Square Fine Arts Association (RSFAA) and the participating artists, we hope you en-joy all of the artwork and maybe find that one special piece or maybe a few that speak to you and you can’t live without.

For 22 years, I have associated with this organization and the Rittenhouse Square art shows. I remember jury-ing into the 63rd Rittenhouse Square Fine Arts Annual, held in 1994. It’s hard to believe so many years have passed since that year’s June event. I knew the competition for the coveted spaces would be tough and remem-ber thinking how fortunate I was to have been accepted and given the opportunity to participate in the area’s most prestigious art show. At that time, artists could only apply from 3 states: Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. Now, as I look back and am looking forward to the 84th edition of the Annual Rittenhouse Square Fine Art Show, I can’t help but reflect on aspects of the show that have changed and the things that re-mained constant or unchanged.

Held each year on the first Friday through Sunday in June, this special event, because of its uniqueness and consistent high quality of art, has be-

come one of the most respected and prestigious art shows in the entire country. From all corners of the Unit-ed States and Canada, professional artists converge on downtown Phil-adelphia, to this park called Ritten-house Square. This historic, beautiful and award winning park is clearly the jewel of the Fairmount Park system and has been the setting for the lon-gest running outdoor show of original artwork in the entire nation.

Organized by the Rittenhouse Square Fine Arts Association (RS-FAA), this non-profit organization plans, organizes, and holds the June show and another, in September, each year. In the many years since the first year show, the organizers have steered the planning of the shows through some hard times and have made some changes to the look and scope of the show, but through it all, one goal has remained constant: To organize the best quality art event possible for participating artists to ex-hibit their work and to give the people of Philadelphia and nearby places to come an event to come to for the purpose of enjoying and buying top quality original artwork.

Started shortly after the Great De-pression, the June show has not only managed to stay alive, but has been able to prosper for all those decades. It was June 1932, when a small group of Philadelphia art students first came to Rittenhouse Square to hang their work on clotheslines strung between the trees and light poles. As these students grew older and the show became more popu-lar, the “Clothesline Show,” as it was called, evolved to include profes-sional artists, as well as students. The popularity grew even more, and more artists came to exhibit in the

park. Consequently, the reputation of the show began to grow as well. Eventually, artists from surrounding states were invited to submit appli-cations. Finally, the show welcomed artists from anywhere in the US and Canada. Of the 143 professional art-ists in this 84th show, there are artists coming from 27 separate states and Canada for the purpose of exhibiting and selling their original art on the sidewalk surrounding the Square. In addition, as it was in that first 1932 show, there are several motivated full-time art students displaying and selling their art in the center of the park. Currently, in the United States, in any given year, there are hundreds of art shows, which try to provide art-ists with a good venue to exhibit and sell their work. Consistently ranked in the Top 100, the 2014 show ranked 39th in the entire nation, which is quite an honor and acknowledgment to the quality of the show.

So what is it that makes these two Rittenhouse Square Fine Art Shows so unique, special and distinctive?

THE ART SMART PUBLIC: First and maybe foremost…. Clearly, the most important aspect of these shows that has allowed these fine art shows to be successful, for so many years, is the support of the people who visit the show and support the artists by knowing good art and purchasing it. So many components have to exist for an art show to become prosper-ous and enjoy the longevity we have experienced. We are very fortunate to find ourselves doing shows in a city like Philadelphia and neighbor-hood such as Rittenhouse Square. So many times and for many years I have heard from artists who travel all over the country on the “circuit”, how

Think positive! Being creative and having an active imagination is generally considered a requirement for any artist. A healthy

by-product of this imagination is creative problem solving, possibility thinking and a “can do” attitude. Below is a story

written by Bernard Zalon (Booth 15), describing how one day, several years ago, he put his imagination to work, by turning a chance moment in time into an opportunity to take action that

could lead to incredible possibilities. – Steve Oliver

Imagine That!By Bernard Zalon

This happened sometime in the late Seventies. I had an appoint-ment with the drawing curator at the Museum of Modern Art. I

brought a bunch of prints of my work in a big portfolio to show her. She wasn’t very impressed, which made me kind of depressed so I went outside and sat on the steps of St. Thomas’s Church on 5th Avenue to watch the crowds walk by. Right away I saw George Takei from Star Trek and thought, “This must be my day to see celebrities.”

I got on the bus and headed downtown. I’m sitting in the back and at about 17th Street, when I see John and Yoko standing on the corner waiting for the light to change. I think, “Holy shit, John Lennon!” I jump off the bus at the next stop and start running up-town to catch them. I have a big black portfolio and brand new Frye boots on, which are killing me. I stop and think, what I’ll do when I find them. I grab a print out of said portfolio to give them.

I catch up to them at 23rd Street. I run up and hand the picture to Yoko, and say, “Here’s a present.” She jumps back, startled, but takes it. John leans over and says, “Nice!” He sounded exactly like John Lennon (Liverpool accent and everything). I walk away and look back once, Yoko’s got the picture in one hand, holding John’s hand with the other, and he’s hailing a cab.

I’m in heaven. I go home and play all my old Beatles records. I call all my friends. For the next year, I’m fantasizing about where the picture is. Maybe it’s in their white house in London. Maybe in the Dakota. Maybe they’re trying to contact me to do an album cover. I start looking for cryptic messages in the back of the Village Voice.

About a year later, I’m doing an art show on the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. Three ladies with baby carriages walk by and glance over at my stuff. They make a beeline for the same print that I gave to John, and start talking very excitedly in hushed tones. I go, “What’s up?” One of them says, “John Lennon bought this picture and gave it to my husband as a present.” I go, “Huh? Whaddya whaddya, etc.” Anyway, I’m thinking maybe her hus-band is a big shot in the record business or something and I can salvage something out of this. So I ask her what he does for a living. She says, “Well, at the time he was a cab driver..!”

By Steve Oliver, Executive Director

Student participation is a very important part of each Ritten-

house Square Fine Art Show and the process of becoming student exhibitor is an easy process. All that is required is filling out a short ap-plication and sending a $50 appli-cation fee.

Throughout the years, the residents of Philadelphia and visitors to Rit-tenhouse Square Park have seen many art shows and many chang-es in the look and size of those shows. However, there is a long tradition that has never changed and remains even now 84 years since the beginning. Started in 1932, the first “Clothesline Show” was planned and held after a small group of students conjured up the idea of exhibiting and selling their art in this beautiful and historic park. Now, so many years later, the organizing group has become the Rittenhouse Square Fine Arts As-

sociation (RSFAA). While the RS-FAA has grown into from those few students doing a local events to an organization planning two shows each year (one in June, the other in September), has grown to include over 140 professional artists from all over the United States and Canada.

Never forgetting its roots and hum-ble beginnings, the professional artists who organize these presti-gious shows send out the invitation to local art schools and universities. Any full-time art student, interested in participating and exhibiting their work in one of these shows is con-sidered. It would be hard to express and articulate the benefits and positive impact this might have on a young artist looking to step into the interesting and very personal business of creating art. Each of these students is given the oppor-tunity to exhibit their work in one of the most well known shows in the country, while surrounded being

over 140 diverse and successful, professional artists. They are not only given the chance to sell their work, but they also have the oppor-tunity to discuss their art and hear comments from show visitors and patrons. The experience can build confidence for some and in some cases can even be life changing.

Each and every year, since 1932, any full-time art student who has been adventuresome enough has been given the space to display and sell their work. It’s important and something that’ll never change.

To further explain how this expe-rience can benefit emerging art students, I refer to the comments made by John Dowell, a former teacher at Tyler School of Art and friend of the Rittenhouse Square Shows.

John Dowell: I have been teach-ing a career course at Tyler since 1975, attempting to provide a foun-

dation for choice, as to how; they (the students our emerging artists of the future), will pursue their des-tiny. The Rittenhouse Fine Art show has been and continues to be an outstanding experience. For most students, this is their first major en-counter dealing with the public in large public space. While exhibiting at these shows, they get a chance to interact with individuals, who are responding to their art, without be-ing in a controlled classroom. They must present themselves profes-sionally and begin to accept the responsibility of moving toward a professional status. It is challenging to experience the required organi-zation and the clear communica-tion of ideas, while responding to a vast array of the population makes quite an impression. In addition, al-most all receive the joy of having their work purchased and gaining positive encouragement.

Let’s not forget that they meet and

converse with this large, varied group of professional artist, who give them a lot of information on how they are surviving. That, I feel is the most important part of the ex-perience.

If you are an interested student or know of someone who might be interested in the rewards of partic-ipating in a nationally recognized show, please visit our information tent or go to RittenhouseSquareArt.com for information on how to ap-ply. Just click “STUDENT” for the student application, information and video explaining more abut the show.

Please take the time to visit and talk to all of our participating stu-dents exhibiting in the center of the park. You won’t be disappointed. All of the displays in the center of the Square will showcase emerging, talented and creative young artists. Enjoy!

@PAFAcademy

distinctively art intelligent or savvy the people who visit the Ritten-house Square shows are. Repeat-edly, I’ve been told how refreshing it is to come to a place like Phila-delphia for that reason alone.

QUALITY: By developing a suc-cessful jury system for selecting only artists who create only the highest quality work. RSFAA has been able to consistently choose an eclectic and qualified group of artists each year for each of their shows. While its true that there are artists who return every year, each show hosts from 30 to 35 new art-ists each show as well. Using artists’ submission of 4 images of their work and a booth image, the jury consists of qualified artists and peers who re-view and select artists who will par-ticipate in the coming shows.

ORIGINALS ONLY: Anoth-er very important characteristic, which sets our shows apart from

others, is to include only original fine art. As you walk around the park, you will see notice there are no reproductions displayed by any artist here. If you see numbered prints in a booth, they will be orig-inal hand-pulled prints such as etchings, lithographs, serigraphs, and mono-prints. This show also includes no functional art of any kind.

STUDENTS: Each and every year, we offer to full-time art stu-dents from local arts schools, col-lege and universities the opportu-nity to participate and show their work in our nationally recognized shows. We give them this oppor-tunity, because these shows were started by art students so long ago. Student participation remains one of RSFAA’s most important mis-sions. By taking advantage of this opportunity, art students can learn to show and talk about their work. At the same time, it lets the RS-

FAA introduce some very talented emerging artists to the visitors of the show.

CATEGORIES: There are six categories of art considered for acceptance in the shows. They are: Acrylic/Oil Paintings, Draw-ings/Pastels, Watercolors, Sculp-ture, Graphic Arts (printing) and Mixed Media. The basic guideline is to consider, and only accept art, which can’t be classified as craft or functional art. There are clearly some burred lines at times, but lim-iting the types of art is a necessity to make these shows unique.

ARTIST–RUN: This organiza-tion is completely run by artists. The Board of Directors is made up of working artists, some who par-ticipate in many of the most other prestigious shows in the country. The RSFAA board feels that this gives us a sensibility for the plan-ning of the shows and handling

of situations as they arise. Most art show organizations consist of members who are business people and not artists. These shows were begun by a group of artists and continue to be run by artists, 84 years later.

RITTENHOUSE SQUARE: This historic and beautiful park is a very special place. It was one hun-dred two years ago, that the young architect, Paul Cret, was contracted to redesign Rittenhouse Square to make it the jewel of the Fairmount Park system. It was at that time, that the park became more of a destination and favorite place for residents of the area and visitors as well. We, the Rittenhouse Square Fine Art Association, are very for-tunate to have this location as the setting for our annual events.

PARTNERSHIPS: Our part-nerships with area businesses and have added so much to our

events each year and helped us be prosperous and successful. We need to acknowledge everyone involved with the Saturday morn-ing Farmer’s Market to the three local restaurants who make up the Outdoor Café. We also receive the support the Philadelphia Art Alli-ance, the Ethical Humanist Society of Philadelphia and especially the Friends of Rittenhouse Square.

In conclusion, as you walk around the show, please stop and take note of the beauty the park has to offer and the uniqueness of this outdoor art show and see why “The Tra-dition Continues” some 84 years later. As one of the finest outdoor art shows in the entire country, we hope you “Circle the Square” and find a special piece of art and meet your new favorite artist.

Enjoy the show!

Learning Through Photography at Moore, in collaboration with students from Kensington High School for the Creative and Performing

Arts, present What’s Your Story?, a neighborhood public art installation.

What’s Your Story? is a public art installa-tion consisting of large-scale banners

created by students from the Kensington High School for Creative and Performing Arts (KCAPA), featuring photography and writ-ing created in partnership with the Learning Through Photography (LTP) program at The Galleries at Moore College of Art & Design.

The vinyl banners feature photographic por-traits of the participating students, along with

their personal writings and will be installed at eight outdoor locations throughout the Kens-ington neighborhood. This project is inspired by the work of artist and educator Wendy Ewald, who completed a similar project in 2004 with students at George Washington Carver Elementary School in Richmond, VA. The banners will be on display June 5, 2015 through June 5, 2016

The Public Debut with Walking Tour and Pub-lication will launch on Friday, June 5, 10 am and the walk will start at Kensington High School of Creative and Performing Arts, lo-cated at 1901 N. Front St. Students will lead participants on a tour through the Kensington neighborhood, stopping at each of the eight

locations where the banners are installed. The event should take between 1 and 2 hours.

Learning Through Photography at Moore (LTP) is an outreach program focusing on collaboration, community engagement and the impact of art education on learning in Philadelphia schools.

Learning Through Photography at Moore receives generous support from Moore Col-lege of Art & Design and is made possible by grants from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Thomas Skelton

Harrison Foundation, the Dolfinger-McMa-hon Foundation, The Elsie Lee Garthwaite Memorial Foundation and the Hamilton Family Foundation. Founding support for the program was provided by The William Penn Foundation. This project is also made possi-ble through the support of Berry and Homer Printing, Ed Silvers and The Norris Square Civic Association.

JILL BANKSPainting Rittenhouse Square

in OilsJill paints in oils, capturing impressions of everyday life while standing right smack dab in the middle of it. She enjoys changes, challenges, visitors, wit-nessing a scene that hasn’t appeared before and won’t since. When she’s ready, someone will oc-cupy the bench prepared for him or her on canvas. Other subjects will help her out, maybe positioned farther away or backwards, but still willing pieces of the puzzle that is her painting. Viewers are invited in. To feel the breeze, hear the sounds, settle in, enjoy the show.

Following the lead of French Impressionists, Jill’s paintings are often created en plein air (outside, in the open air) in towns and cities all across the country, in Europe and close to home. Recently Jill returned from almost a month working daily at her easel in Madrid, Spain and Monterey, California. Mid-May found her painting the streets and farms of Wayne and Philadelphia in Wayne Plein Air.

During Jill’s demonstration, she’ll show you how she selects a subject and navigates her way to create an urban landscape in oils in Rittenhouse Square. Find yourself in a painting. Perhaps she’ll choose one or two of you to hang out in her scene. Are you willing?

DOUG DELINDClay Made Hand

Doug’s work is in clay and the figurative sculptures he creates are inspired by ancient and basic civilizations from around the world. He is intrigued by the way dif-ferent peoples abstract the human face and figure. In his work, he also uses many contemporary objects to press into the clay to make impressions, so he refers to my work as 21st century totems.

In Doug’s demonstration, he will create a 21st century totem, while showing and explaining his hand forming techniques with clay. Starting with 25# of clay, he will create hands, a head and feet. At the beginning, these will be very course forms, but as they dry, the clay can support itself better and the rough surfaces of the sculptures will be smoothed. Although the rough surfaces have a vitality to them reminiscent of the work of Rodin, smooth surfaces highlight the dramatic glaze effects of the Raku firing process.

All of his work is Raku fired, because it is a very ac-tive and exciting way to complete the creative pro-cess. Raku firing originated in Japan and is now widely practiced by pyromaniacs around the world. Although he cannot demonstrate the Raku fire, Doug will explain it and show how he glazes his work. He will invite you to touch the clay and if your timing is right, you can use an object to make an impression in the 21st century totem we will create in Philadelphia.

JIM LEMYREPainting Transparent Objects

with OilsWorking in oil, with meticulous attention to detail, we paint landscapes of the imagination on canvas and gessoed masonite panel. The painting becomes a meeting place, a threshold between the worlds of imagination and reality, dream and conscious-ness, the individual and the collective. Incongruent combinations, dual imagery and unlikely scenarios create moments of visual poetry and reveal hidden meanings.

We invite the viewer to engage with the imagery to discover their own interpretation and to share it with us. It is art as dialogue rather than monologue, a fab-ric of conversation in which everyone is welcome to participate.

Primo Perino!

Dana Marie Perino was born in Evanston, Wyoming on May 9, 1972, where she grew up herd-ing cattle at the crack of dawn on a cattle ranch. In college, she moonlighted as a country music DJ while majoring in Mass Com-munications. After graduating from Colorado State University at Pueb-lo, she went on to earn a Master’s in Public Affairs Reporting from the University of Illinois at Springfield.

Dana made history as the first Re-publican female to serve as White House Press Secretary. After seven years in the George W. Bush ad-ministration, she was recruited by the Fox News Network to co-host a new show, The Five, which has be-come one of the most highly-rated programs on cable TV.

Christians in word and deed, Dana and her husband, Peter, devote considerable time to philanthropic

causes, traveling to Africa on nu-merous occasions to volunteer with charities ranging from Living Hope to Mercy Ships. The former is a faith-based organization working with AIDS victims, while the latter is a state-of-the-art floating hospital which sails down the Congo River to bring free medical care to des-perate people living in some of the poorest countries in the world.

Here she talks about her life and career, including the time spent as President Bush’s official spokes-person.

Kam Williams: Hi Dana, thanks for the interview. How are you?

Dana Perino: I’m pretty good, thank you.

KW: You know, I feel like I already know you, from seeing you on The Five everyday.

DP: That’s one of the favorite things

I hear a lot on the book tour. I think that’s a huge compliment to The Five.

KW: Even though I’m very liberal, I still enjoy the show, especially be-cause you and Greg Gutfeld aren’t predictable in terms of your political stances.

DP: I know what you mean. Bill Shine, an executive at Fox, once said, “Who would’ve ever thought that it’d be Dana Perino always de-fending the unions and the TSA?”

KW: Or coming to the defense of Obama administration White House Press Secretaries. What were your expectations, when you agreed to do The Five?

DP: When we first started, we didn’t think it was going to be a perma-nent show, based on the way it was pitched to us. They said it was only going to run for six weeks. I said okay, because I didn’t really have

anything to lose. And I didn’t want to have an act, since all I know how to be is myself. The good news for me is that Fox has let me be that person. It’s been great for me, ac-tually.

KW: I think the show has really humanized you and allowed you to blossom. Most people probably

had you pigeonholed very nar-rowly, after only seeing you as the mouthpiece for the Bush adminis-tration.

DP: And who knew the show was going to be so much fun?

KW: It reminds me a lot of The Mc-Laughlin Group.

DP: You’re not alone in that. Gutfeld says our show’s like The McLaugh-lin Group.

KW: I’m going to be mixing in read-ers’ questions with my own.

DP: Oh, good!

KW: Editor/Legist Patricia Turnier asks: What is the primary message you want people to take away from your book?

DP: That you don’t have to have at-tended fancy prep schools growing up, or gotten an Ivy League educa-

Not every artist attends art school, or becomes

a full time studio artist, but all are impacted by others in their lives. Not every art stu-dent becomes a practicing artist. We asked the ques-tion: “What makes a good

art teacher?” Can you de-scribe the qualities of those art teachers or THAT teacher that made an impact on your life? We asked a variety of people; some artists, some not. Here’s what they shared:

‘They pushed me to do more, to go bigger, and to

keep moving forward.’ – Art Educator, Angela Capuzzi

‘The art teacher that inspired me most and that I con-nected with was able to be honest and at the same time encouraging. He critiqued to a high standard, but also had a sense of humor. An-

What Makes a Good Art Teacher? Reflections Shared – and a Challenge Given

other thing that impressed me about him was that he always had some work in progress of his own. He did not make a big deal about it, but it was in the classroom and if you asked him about it, he would love to share it with you. ‘ – Retired Medical Technician, Rhonda Rea

‘They didn’t give up on me, even when I gave up on my-self.’ – Art Educator, Lauren Stichter

‘A good art teacher is one who recognizes your own person-al strengths and encourag-es that. A good teacher also raises the bar to challenge you while having fun at the same time. My teachers held us accountable, encouraged individuality and occasional-ly threw free art supplies to starving college students.’ – RSFAA Artist, Kerry Sacco

‘My art teacher gave me hope. She is the reason I went to college.’ – Elementa-ry Educator, Jennifer Ayling

‘I liked my art teacher and she

really helped me. She said I had no talent and recom-mended I find my niche in the math/science field.’ – Nucle-ar Engineer, Galen Smith

‘A good art teacher has a sense of humor, is free and comfortable with giving praise and positive reinforce-ment not only for good art but where it is needed, is a rebel and a fighter who can raise hell if necessary for the good of art, is a lifelong learn-er, is a money seeker, a suc-cessful grant writer, learns from failures, is fearless in lesson planning, can create one beautiful, atmospheric art room--different from any room in the building. knows when and how to say NO, dresses different from any other teacher--lives and breathes art, gets involved, is energetic and above all--loves what he/she does and it shows..Nothing is impossi-ble... ‘ – Retired Art Educa-tor, Artist, John Skrabalak

‘For me my art teacher learned who I was and was then able to work within my skill set. She always found something great in what I did and made sure I under-stood and why. She was and still is a true inspiration since the most important thing I learned was to be bold!’ – Lighting Designer, Kathy Abernathy

My teacher said, “Learn to see with your eyes, do not believe your brain as mem-ory gets in the way, and draw with your heart”. ‘He also said the best art always makes you think about it the next moment.’ – Theatre Professor, Chris Abernathy

Kathy and Chris shared that “Both of these teachers managed to say things to us that stayed with us for the last 32 plus years, learning to feel free in your thoughts made all the difference.”

‘All good art teachers are committed and care about seeing their students grow and learn. Art takes hours,

days, weeks, months, even years to finish. There may be failure, but the teacher forces them to see their potential. I don’t think any other type of teacher has quite the same bond as art students do with their art teachers.’ – College art student, Kym Talarico

‘My most memorable ex-perience as a student at the Hussian School of Art was how well the teachers taught. I can still feel the experience twenty-five years later as I work in my own studio. When I run into a problem with any given piece that I am working on, I think back to the times of standing at the easel during class and hearing the voices of Virgil Sova or Louise Clement-Hoff guiding me through the process. Back in the ear-ly 2000’s, I was asked to teach a pastel course at the Rehoboth Art League. I didn’t know anything more about teaching than performing brain surgery. The only thing that I could think of to calm my nerves on the first night of class was to teach my lesson the same way I was taught. I imagined myself back at Hussian and began the lesson the same way my instructors did.

Since then I teach on a reg-ular basis. Just like painting, teaching requires dedication, practice, thorough knowledge of your subject, passion, and most importantly…the ability to communicate the totality of the experience.’ – RSFAA Artist, Nick Serratore

‘The qualities of THOSE GREAT art teachers are: Skill, knowledge, passion, curiosity… always learning, full of joy, able to keep some structure in the midst of cha-os, with the ability to be a good listener who can guide the student to articulate their own personal vision. One who says “Yes!”.’ – RSFAA Artist, HS Art Teacher, Diane Wilkin

Kerry Sacco

‘Let’s see...always explor-ing new territory so you can bring new aspects of the arts and the creative process to your students. Treating stu-dents with respect while also providing some limits (not to

their art, but to their conduct). Recognizing the difference in skills, abilities, and interest of each student. Providing new and interesting outlets for the arts (like Empty Bowls). Teaching Art in the context of

the rest of the world/culture rather than in a vacuum (see Empty Bowls again). OK. I will stop now. But I can’t promise that I won’t be back later.’ – Special Education Teacher, Sue Aptaker

The impact of the art teach-ers mentioned has borne fruit over a life time for many of those quoted above. The student, however, has a role to play in the educational process as well and Art Pro-fessor, Klaus Ebeling speaks to that: “I am not the teacher of the class, although I can serve as one. YOU are your teacher, even if you don’t want the job. You are also the only person who can appoint any teacher for you. In other words: books and the web are full of potential teachers – if you accept them. Every person you meet, every ob-

What Makes a Good Art Teacher? continued from page R12

ject, book, image, animal and plant can be your teacher – if you accept information, skills and wisdom from them.” The student must be open and willing to learn from the teacher.

‘Klaus gave me a great gift…the gift of confidence, which allowed me to do my art with-out criticism and feel com-fortable in my own skin. For me, I think a good art teacher is the one who encourages

students to approach life as a sponge, for the purpose of experiencing as much art and life as possible. By doing this, the art teacher prepares students to form their own self-image, which they can be comfortable with, thus giving them the confidence to do the kinds of art they feel inspired to create.’ – Artist, RSFAA Director, Steve Oliver

The impact of a good teacher lasts a lifetime. Ask yourself the question: How would you describe THOSE teachers that you still carry with you in your head and heart today? If you can, reach out and let them know how they influ-enced you. They paid that commitment and caring for-ward in the classroom. Take a moment to pay it back. Who knows, you might even learn something new?

tion, or have your life completely planned and mapped out to enjoy a great deal of personal and profes-sional success.

KW: Patricia also says: You be-came the second female at your former position at the White House. She’d like to know what advice you have for women trying to break the glass ceiling, given that there have been so few females, historically, in such government positions as White House Press Secretary, At-torney General and Supreme Court Justice. She’s wondering if you think some obligatory measures should be taken ensuring parity between the genders?

DP: I don’t. I think I was the right Press Secretary at the right time. I know that I was chosen because President Bush felt I was the best person for the job. I’m also very encouraged by developments in Washington, D.C., a place where women in government can ad-vance even more than in private corporations.

If you look at the number of fe-males who have been chiefs of staff and undersecretaries under the past two administrations, the chances of a woman succeeding there are very good, and I think that corporate America is trying to catch up. And that’s happening not just in

terms of political positions, like the one I held, but with the bureaucra-cy as well.

KW: Scott McClellan, the White House Press Secretary who hired you, wrote a book which was a scathing indictment of the Bush ad-ministration after he resigned from the post. Did his memoir make your job even harder, and how did that betrayal affect you emotionally?

DP: One of my favorite passages in the book is where I recount the les-son in forgiveness I was re-taught by President Bush.

KW: I was astonished to read that

President Bush had urged you to forgive him.

DP: That’s how President Bush lives his life. One of the reasons I wanted to write the book was to explain what I saw: he was focused on his job and he lived his faith. One way to succeed is to make sure you’re forgiving of little things… even big things. Certainly, that was a betrayal by Scott McClellan. And it made my job harder for about a week. But, at that point, when the President heard that I was still tied up in knots over it, he called me into the Oval Office at 6:40 in the morning and asked me to try to forgive Scott. That just took the

weight off of my shoulders. But what really helped me continue to do my job well the most occurred later that day as I was leaving the White House, when President Bush said, “By the way, I don’t think you’d ever do this to me.” So, he was a good enough manager to know that I was tied up in knots because I was concerned about his press coverage, and about how I was going to deal with the briefing. But then I was also worried about my special relationship with him, and that the closeness and access I needed in order to do my job well was going to be curtailed. So, what

he was doing was taking the time to assure me that that access was not going to be curtailed, and it cer-tainly wasn’t.

KW: What’s your best memory of the late Tony Snow, your immedi-ate predecessor as White House Press Secretary?

DP: He was a giant of a Press Secretary. One of the best pieces of advice I ever received in my life was from him on his last day at the White House. I was very nervous, because I’d be taking over the next day, and he’d been so popular and so great at the job. I didn’t know how I was going to measure up. He was

6’5” and I’m only 5’ tall. He made me stand up, and he put a hand on my shoulder, tilted my chin up, and said, “You are better at this than you think you are.” I sort of made light of it at that moment. But it did hit me, after getting through two weeks of briefings and finding my rhythm. I thought, “Oh, that’s what he meant. I don’t have to be like him in order to be good at this job. I just have to be myself.”

That’s a theme that recurred throughout my career in Washing-ton, and was also true with Roger Ailes at Fox News. I wasn’t really ready, but he gave me enough time to come out of my shell.

KW: Speaking of your height, how do you feel about the way Greg al-ways teases you about being tiny whenever he does the intro to the show?

DP: I love it. One of my favor-ites was when he said, “She uses toothpicks for ski poles.”

KW: Finally, Patricia says: As an executive at Random House, what would you say helps distinguish a great book from an unknown writer?

DP: I think trust between the editor and the writer, and a belief in the project. Word of mouth helps as well.

KW: What inspired you to get in-volved with the Mercy Ships, and doing so much volunteer work in Africa?

DP: Initially, it was when President and Mrs. Bush launched the Pres-ident’s Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief. So, I knew of the program for a long time, and I was familiar with the statistics, but I had never been to Africa until I went with them in February of 2008. I was really touched by the whole experience. I told my husband that I’d like to go back to Africa for six months after leaving the White House. He whit-tled that down a little and we went for six weeks. Volunteering and

advocating for poverty alleviation, maternal health and early child development on a global scale are very important to me. Later, when I learned about Mercy Ships, I decid-ed I’d like to see it for myself. And Peter, ever the trooper, came with me to the Congo. While we were there, we shot a video that reached millions and millions of people, let-ting them know about Mercy Ships. I was so proud of that.

KW: I think a lot of people were very impressed by your doing that, especially since so many Demo-crats are convinced that Republi-

cans only care about the rich.

DP: That’s a shame! It surprises me that people might think that, because when they publish the charitable donations each year you see that, across the board, conser-vatives give more. The AIDS relief program was started by President Bush, in part, because of encour-agement from Evangelical Chris-tians who felt a moral obligation to save a continent that was about to lose an entire generation of people. And now Bono starts his concerts by asking everyone in the audience to thank President Bush for saving ten million lives.

KW: Documentary filmmaker Kev-in Williams says: It seems like the past several White House Press Secretaries since you left the job have been much more combative and antagonistic towards reporters asking tough questions. Do you think that’s the result of the recent

jobholders’ nerves wearing thin or of a fundamental change in the role of the White House Press Secre-tary?

DP: I would say that there was a great deal of tension between the press and my two predecessors as well. But I don’t necessarily need to comment on other people’s styles. I would just say that I didn’t feel that it was very productive or helpful to the people of America for the White House Press Secretary and the press to be at each other’s throats every day. That wasn’t how I want-ed to live my life. They had a job to do; and I knew it was an import-ant one. And I had a job to do, too. So I tried to meet them halfway. I saw 50% of my job as advocating and defending the United States of America through the eyes of the Bush administration. I saw the other 50% of my job was defend-ing and advocating for the press so it could maintain its access to the

President. I don’t understand the antagonism we see today, or why this administration has cut off some access, like they did with photog-raphers. President Obama is so handsome, he never takes a bad picture. So, they didn’t need to an-tagonize the press with that piece. In Chapter Six, I write about how swallowing sarcasm and carrying yourself with dignity and grace will make you more effective as a com-municator than fighting all the time.

KW: Kevin has a follow-up: Is it fair for people to see an unhealthy rela-tionship between the political class and the press at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner? Did you enjoy the so-called Nerd Prom?

DP: Hate’s a strong word, but I hate the Nerd Prom and I have not been back since 2008. Big group events don’t suit me well. I’m not impressed by meeting celebrities. And one of the things that disap-

points me about the dinner is that it is meant to celebrate the young people who are being awarded scholarships. Yet, the guests sitting at the tables won’t shut up long enough to allow the young people to enjoy their moment to shine.

KW: Harriet Pakula-Teweles asks: What would be the most important piece of advice you’d give to an in-coming Presidential Press Secre-tary?

DP: I think I would pay forward the advice I got from Chief of Staff Andy Card, to say a little prayer of thanks every morning before the Marine opens the door to the West Wing for you, and it will set your day off on a better foot.

KW: Children’s book author Irene Smalls asks: What is the toughest challenge you faced at the White House?

DP: I’d say the accumulation of

stress and intensity, and the over-whelming amount of work we had to do. If I got to go back and do it over again, I would have taken bet-ter care of my health, because I re-ally let things spiral out of control, and I think I would’ve been a better Press Secretary if I’d focused on taking better care of myself.

KW: As Press Secretary your hair was short. Now it’s long. Which is your preference?

DP: I had long hair for a long, long time prior to the White House. Now, I have the benefit of professional help in getting ready to appear on The Five. But I loooooove to wear a ponytail.

KW: Irene also asks: What are your hopes for the country?

DP: That we would recognize that we are so blessed to have been born here, and that we are an ex-

ceptional nation with a great deal of responsibility in the world which we need to take seriously. And that we need to live our lives with joy, be-cause that’s what was in-tended. And that we would come together and recog-nize that our problems are solvable. We sometimes just lack the will to solve them.

KW: Is there any question no one ever asks you, that you wish someone would?

DP: [Chuckles] I’d just like to share my favorite piece of advice from the book: Choosing to be loved is not a career-limiting decision. My marriage has helped me in my career more than per-haps anything else I could’ve done, despite leaving an en-viable career-track in Wash-ington, DC when we had nothing.

KW: What was the last book you read?

DP: I’m almost finished read-ing All the Light We Cannot See, which is a novel about World War II. I’m also read-ing Munich Airport by Greg

Baxter. Another book by him I loved was The Apartment.

KW: What is the last song you listened to?

DP: Last night, I listened to the new soundtrack from the TV series “Nashville,” a show which is like a combina-tion of “Dallas” and “Fame.” [Laughs]

KW: What is your favorite dish to cook?

DP: My husband and I love steak with some sort of veg-etables. But I’m also very good at making a dish I call Blue Cheese Heaven, which is stir-fried vegetables with blue cheese crumble melted, served over sourdough toast with horseradish spread.

KW: Who is your favorite clothes designer?

DP: I didn’t really learn a lot about fashion growing up in Wyoming, so I’m a little in-timidated in Washington and New York at times. I’m lucky that I found a young design-er named Bradley Scott who takes such great care of me.

Whenever I have a special occasion, I pull out one of his dresses.

KW: When you look in the mirror what do you see?

DP: An older version of my-self. [Laughs] I have found a way to be joyously content. I don’t see myself as worried, or stressed or fearful any-more, like I used to. I also used to see a very hard-edged person when I worked in the White House, although that wasn’t the kind of Press Secretary President Bush wanted me to be. And it wasn’t good for my marriage either, so I tried to be the way I believe God intended my life to be, which is a little more joyous.

KW: I suppose that position forces you to be a little hard-er-edged.

DP: I think it’s very hard to leave those arguments in the Briefing Room. But I was very much supported by President Bush and the White house.

KW: If you could have one

wish instantly granted, what would that be for?

DP: I would like the feeling of serenity to be shared by more people in the world.

KW: The Ling-Ju Yen ques-tion: What is your earliest childhood memory?

DP: My earliest childhood political memory was watch-ing the inauguration of Ron-ald Reagan. My earliest memory was riding a pony my grandfather bought me, named Sally, at the ranch. I loved that pony.

KW: Would you mind giving me a Dana Perino question I can ask everybody I inter-view?

DP: Sure: What keeps you up at night? President Bush used to ask that of other world leaders because it would help him understand what their anxieties were so he could work better with them.

KW: Excellent! Thanks. The Melissa Harris-Perry ques-





Pigeons come in seven different colors.

How many have you seen today?

Look around, and you’ll probably see a pigeon. Have you ever seen a royal blue Victoria crowned pigeon? Did you know they can fly 50 miles per hour?

tion: How did your first big heartbreak impact who you are as a person?

DP: I remember very well when I was dumped in col-lege by this guy I’d dated for two and a half years. All of a sudden he failed to show up one Friday night; and I never saw him again. I got the flu and was feeling sor-ry for myself until my friend Andrea said, “We gotta get you up and outta here.” And we started going to these country music bars in Pueb-lo. We’d danced with every guy but go home with no one. She and I are still such good friends. That experi-ence taught me that you can survive a broken heart.

KW: What is the biggest dif-ference between who you are at home and the person we see on TV?

DP: I think I’m quieter at home. I need time to think and I need time to read, which isn’t an indulgence but part of my job, since I get a lot of galleys.

KW: The Judyth Piazza

question: What key quality do you believe all successful people share?

DP: I actually believe it is optimism: not the unrealistic, Pollyanna sort, but the type that enables you to keep striving to achieve in the face of adversity.

KW: The Tavis Smiley ques-tion: How do you want to be remembered?

DP: As kind.

KW: Finally, what’s in your wallet?

DP: Some credit cards and an I.D. And you know what I carried around in my wal-let for five years? A scrap of paper with my sketch of an outline for this book I want-ed to write. For some rea-son, I never threw it away, even after the first publisher I approached said the book would never sell. When I showed it to the one who did end up publishing the book, he said, “Leave this with me.” And he even wrote my pro-posal, because he believed in it so much.

KW: Wow! And it’s been #1 on Amazon’s best-seller list for several weeks straight.

DP: Would you believe it? I loved talking with you, Kam.

KW: Same here, Dana. It’s been an honor. Like I said, I love you on the show be-

cause you’re not a pre-dictable, hack Republican spouting the party line, but a very sensitive and intelligent person who obviously thinks for herself.

DP: Thank you, Kam, you made my day!

EKG Exhibit explores human relationship with earthThe Usable Earth, a

group exhibition ex-ploring the role of ecol-

ogy in society, will open at the University City Science Center’s Esther Klein Gallery (EKG) on June 12, 2015 and run through July 24th. The exhibit focuses on the multi-faceted relationship between humans and the earth. EKG is located at 3600 Market St in Philadelphia.

Exhibitors include art-ists as well as architects, filmmakers, scholars, and authors are convened at The Usable Earth to expand on the diverse perspectives in telling the stories of the human relationship with nature.

One of the works on display will be a video by Eteam titled The Backup Tapes Of Moon and Mars, where the NYC-based artists visit Mars, PA and Moon, PA. The video portrays each respective town as a simu-lated environment for living life on Mars and the moon, revealing the cyclical tenden-cies of human behavior. In another artwork, the Swed-ish architecture firm, Vision Division, illustrate a stacked ecosystem, part urban farm and part cafe, inspired by the architecture of the Romanian

Haystack and the mud huts of Burkina Faso.

Other exhibitors include Nate Ricciuto, Allen Craw-ford, TJ Hunt, Carolyn Lambert, David Scott Kessler and Leila Nadir + Cary Pep-permint. The Usable Earth is curated by Kristen Neville Taylor, a Philadelphia-based artist and curator.

The opening reception for The Usable Earth will be held on Friday, June 12th from 5:00 – 7:30 p.m. at EKG. EKG is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The University City Sci-ence Center is a dynamic hub for innovation, and entrepreneurship and tech-nology development in the Greater Philadelphia region. The Science Center was the first, and remains the largest, urban research park in the United States. For more in-formation about the Science Center, go to www.science-center.org.

The Esther Klein Gallery (EKG), which opened at the Science Center in 1976, uses the creative arts as a plat-form to explore relationships between art, science and technology. http://www.Es-therkleingallery.tumblr.com
