Cerulean Arts is donating 5 percent of December sales to to save “The Gross Clinic.” The tiny gallery, in case you missed Roberta’s post, recently opened with an impressive first show.
Here’s what galleriests Michael Kowbuz and Tina Rocha wrote us:
We’ve been following the controversy over the sale of Eakins’ The Gross Clinic along with the rest of Philadelphia for the last few weeks.
Although we’re a small gallery & have just opened, we feel obligated to do something. We have such strong ties to PAFA (Mike is Director of Continuing Education, faculty member & MFA graduate & I worked there for 5 years as well) so we’re joining the campaign to save The Gross Clinic by donating 5% of our sales from December 1st thru December 24th to PMA’s Eakins Fund. …Maybe more galleries will join in!
We’ll also be holding our First Annual Holiday Party on Sunday, December 10 from 1pm-6pm. …
Right now they have an exhibit up by artist Jeffery Tritt.
