    Sarah McEneaney: A Particular Place in the World

    Sarah McEneaney’s art is singular and unique in its focus on the everyday existence of the artist. Living in the middle of the very busy and complicated city of Philadelphia, she has created a lifestyle of almost monastic discipline as an artist. McEneaney is also an activist and community leader including the formation of the Callowhill Neighborhood Association in 2001, and the co-founding of the Reading Viaduct Project in 2003. She works mostly in egg tempera, and her work is raw and direct, a slow moving autobiographic investigation of the nature of her life, and our life. In that way her paintings are very universal and profound.  She has shown her work in major galleries and museums for the last 40 years, including an extensive retrospective in 2004 at the Institute of Contemporary Art at the university of Pennsylvania. She is included in major collections including Philadelphia Museum of Art,[2] Mills College Art Museum,[3] the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts,[4] Rhode Island School of Design Museum, Woodmere Art Museum  in Philadelphia.

    Judith Schaechter: A Sensous and Cruel Material

    Judith Schaechter:  Stain glass artist that has redefined the scope of contemporary art in both materials and subject matter. She has created a startling body of work, using hi-tech and low tech, if not centuries-old techniques. She has chosen for her subject matter an equally archaic focus that seems to bring the suffering and story telling of ancient religious iconography into the 21st century. Her work can be seen all over the world in major museums and galleries including:  Smithsonian Institution, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Schaechter's Bigtop Flophouse Bedspins appeared in the 2002 Whitney Biennial. She has artwork in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Hermitage Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art,

She has written, recorded, and performed her own material as well, creating the 2004 lyrical masterwork, “I Used to Be.” Originally from West Philadelphia, Dorsey, at the age of 22, moved to London to pursue her musical career, where she was in a musical collaboration with many bands, including her first high-profile job as a guest vocalist in the original lineup of The Charlie Watts Big Band and its 1985 premiere at London's famous West End jazz club.
