Exhibition Opening: To-day is Another Day, Make Art

This Saturday is the opening of To-day is Another Day, Make Art (Art in the Great Recession), curated by Steven Earl Weber at pterodactyl:

This show addresses several aspects of what it means to be a working artist during this economically difficult time that has come to be referred to as " The Great Recession." The curator and artists have taken a broad approach to the phrase, "Art in The Great Recession," references and interpretations of the theme range from elements and causes of our country's current recession, to the methods and materials artists end up using in response to their economic situation. The works included in this exhibit are all from artists living and working in the Philadelphia area and include a broad range of materials and disciplines.
