INTRODUCTIONS
Welcome Ashley Fry! Our new intern and honorary WCA member.
Hello. My name's Ashley Fry, and I [am interested] in conducting ethnographic research on the Women's Caucus for Art. I'm an Anthropology major at Temple University, and for my Sociocultural capstone course we are to do ethnographic research on any group or subculture of our choice. I'm intrigued with the idea of studying a women's art group, and finding out how the establishment of such art groups give voice to various women’s experiences and educate the public. I would love to meet with members of the group and to hear their stories and inspirations. When and how often do members get together, and would I be permitted to join these meetings? Are you currently curating an exhibition or organizing any activism work? Any information on the group's activities in or around Philadelphia, and where I should go and whom I should speak with to get involved would be really appreciated! Thank you!
Ashley would look forward to the opportunity to meet with and interview any WCA member who is interested in helping her with her research. Please email her at: tue59370@temple.edu
Welcome Suzanne Knodle, manager of Plaza art supply. We are proud to
announce our new partnership with Plaza!
Bonnie and Suzanne met a few weeks ago at the Plastics Club. Bonnie invited Suzanne to meet with the group to discuss a partership with WCA. Suzanne offered to host a show of WCA member work at Plaza at supply!
Fun Facts!
The Plastics Club was first founded by women.
Where does that name come from?
Painting is one of the plastic arts classical mythology.
Check out their website! http://www.plasticclub.org/ (especiallly Emily)
The moving model Saturday mornings! Looks like a fun group event idea for us.
Suzanne used to manage Utrecht at 20th & Chesnut
Plaza is the 13th store, they have locations in DC, Maryland, Nashville, Cinncinati Would like to partner with us. Yay!
They have LOTS of wall space.
Want to put together an art show in the store in May.
Did we mention the Huge wall space?
“Lets show in May. Not too controversial. No nudity. Toned. Tame. No graphic imagery. Work that should be viewed by any age audience.”
We will be meeting at Plaza on April 6 at 2PM to discuss details about this show. You should definitely come if you are interested in showing too see the space available.
Hey teachers Plaza accepts school purchase orders! Need to post to this to AENJ site.
