March art updates!



Anniversary Art Show at Studio 34
4522 Baltimore Ave, Philadelphia

This Friday, March 27, 7 p.m. to 10 p.m!

We begin our One Year Anniversary weekend with a very special visual art show featuring three friends of Studio 34. At the intersections of art and science, spirit and cognition, each Artist's work investigates the mysterious inner workings of human nature. Zoe Cohen's drawings of our cellular biology ask, "Where does the external become the internal?". Neuroscientist Greg Dunn's Asian-inspired paintings on hanging scrolls and gold leaf explore the beauty of the brain at the microscopic scale of neurons. Saliha Moore's sacred geometry lies somewhere between the organic and the mathematical. Come enjoy refreshments and pick the brains of these perceptive artists!

speaking of Jewish art; have you ever seen the mosaics that cover the buildings of south philly? There is a movie about the man who made them, Isiah Zagar, called In A Dream that will be playing at the Ritz Bourse theater in Old City. It is truly a wonderful story, check it out!!

Thanks Bryan! I LOVE Isaiah Zagar's work, and got to meet him and visit his house once, years ago. One of his murals features the text "Art is the center of the real world" which I find totally inspiring and revolutionary. I didn't know about the film, thanks for letting me know! I hope to be able to see it.
