Leah Douglas, Director of Exhibitions at Philadelphia International Airport, is looking for people in the region who collect everyday ordinary things as a hobby or private obsession for a new show of collections at the airport. If you have a collection of small to mid-size objects you’d like to see displayed at the airport — you know, coffee mugs, teaspoons, bumper stickers, campaign buttons, postcards, etc., get in touch with Leah pronto. She’s trying to organize a show for July. The collections should be of small to mid-size objects, and around 20-50 objects per collection will be shown, she says.
Leah had a previous collections show at the airport of vintage sand pails, thimbles, christmas-themed objects, fiestaware, pez dispensers, glass tumblers and salt and pepper shaker sets so probably she doesn’t need more of those. To be considered, contact Leah by email: Leah.Douglas@phl.org and she will follow up.
