Part 2 of longtime MAP muralist, Ann Northrup’s article: An Outsider on the Inside at Riverside Correctional Facility is featured on artblog today (Part 1 was featured Monday) and we are proud.
Please check out her piece and take some time to peruse artblog if you are unfamiliar. Roberta, Libby and their fine crew work diligently to craft Philadelphia’s most innovative and definitive voice in contemporary art.
Ann also highlights Commonwealth Gallery’s current show and sale of prisoner art OUTSIDER Art from INSIDE, ongoing until March 26. A post containing all of the artwork still available for sale will be up later today as a resource for those interested in purchasing something.
Also, featured today in the Daily News, is MAP muralist Dave McShane’s current project with WXPN‘s program “Kids Corner” and students from Penn Alexander School. It’s obviously not the front page material of yesterday’s bombshell about the PMA budget cuts, (of which MAP is no stranger to) but it’s nice to see some reporting on the good news.
