From Jacob Hammes of Pilot + Project, who emailed us about the project:
We have a few dozen philly artists in this show and hundreds from across the globe, but the most exciting thing about it is that the work in this show is being sold for $30 each and whatever doesn’t sell here will travel with them to other cities, so we will potentially have collectors from all over the world owning work by Philly artists. That’s the part that made us want to host this event, so we’re hoping and expecting and needing a lot of people to come out.
…The works are presented in stacks on many many tables, and people will be sort of flipping through them like you would at a record store…

Good Read
January seemed to push out a lot of writing about art, some end of 2018 wrap ups. More interesting, and notable is this piece sent to me by our friend, Betty Leacraft, about how women’s and men’s career paths diverge, the role of sexism and ageism, with quotable quotes from notable women artists in mid-career like Marilyn Minter, Laurie Simmons, and Joan Semmel It’s long but a really great read by Anna Louie Sussmann at Artsy.
