NET Nights at Moore - Opportunities and Options for Emerging Artists / Sept 18, 2009

On September 18 a group of artists, directors and artist collective members got together to talk about the multitude of opportunities and resources available for emerging artists in Philadelphia such as: artist residences and grants, collectives & self-organizing options, exhibition opportunities & competitions, and support & resource services.

Touching on everything from NYFA resources to the Philadelphia Exhibitions Initiative to grassroots collectives, the conversation opened an array of options readily available to artists in Philadelphia. In the end, it all came down to one point - Philadelphia is teeming with opportunities for those artists that are willing to take initiative, stay true to who they are and go after what they want.

The conversation involved Adam Natale, Director of Member Services at Fractured Atlas, a non-profit support and resource service for visual and performing artists based in New York City; Warren Angle, Exhibitions Curator at the Samuel S. Fleischer Art Memorial in Philadelphia; Nadia Hironaka, a local artist and co-founder of Screening, Philadelphia’s first gallery dedicated to the presentation of works on video and film located just inside of Vox Populi Gallery; Sam Belkowitz and Martha Savery, members of the artist-run collective Little Berlin in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia ; and Aubrie Costello, a member of The Other Woman, a ladies art collective.

Following the event, the panel participants were interviewed by students in Moore's BSA program, revealing in more detail their own career path and affiliations. Each interview is listed above.
