TERRI SAULIN: UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS

It’s officially my favorite time of year!

I just dropped these sparkle babes @theclaystudiophl for Small Favors 2024! The show runs Apr 11th - Jun 2nd, 2024. The beloved annual exhibition where artists at all levels can exhibit together. Hundreds of precious works of art will be on display in 4 inch cubes. I love this show so much. It makes me experiment wildly and gives me so many ideas for other works. Most of the pieces are couples, marinating in my experience of pop songs and other pieces of music and literature. Some of these petite partners below and a gaggle of others will be on their way to the lovely new Alumni exhibition space @moorecollegeart @theartshopatmoore @thegalleriesatmoore this Fall!
I am so looking forward to developing this body of work over the Summer.

No. 5 Butchie Alley is an outgrowth of Terri Saulin's home studio. Saulin is celebrating the third year of programming. She hopes to continue growing and creating a welcoming space, that invites generous conversations, a place to exchange ideas and to build community in the city of Philadelphia. Exhibitions rotate approximately every two months. During the run of each exhibition, the exhibiting artists or Saulin herself offer workshops relating to their studio practice or relating to something currently happening in the community. Check the shop for details about each workshop offered.

Regular hours are Saturday and Sunday, 12 p.m. - 4 p.m. and by appointment.

The gallery is located on an easement directly behind 1175 S 13th Street. Enter Butchie Alley from Federal Street, just before 13th. Look for the Isaiah Zagar mosaic mural.

What a treat to talk with our Friends at CraftNOW for the December First Friday Preview!

This program is co-organized by CraftNOW and Heather Moqtaderi, Director of Past Present Projects.

Visual artist and political organizer Tabitha Arnold will present weavings created as 2021 Artist-in-Residence at Glen Foerd. Her meticulous, tactile images speak to the radical past and ongoing struggle that threads all working people together.

Sculptor Marguerita Hagan will speak about two current exhibitions that feature her contemporary ceramic work. Hagan’s sculpture Flourish is on view at the Academy of Natural Sciences’ exhibition Invisible World of Water. At No. 5 Butchie Alley, Hagan and gallery owner Terri Saulin present The Gift, a special winter holiday exhibition and pit-firing workshop.

Laura Igoe, Chief Curator at Michener Art Museum, will present on Daring Design: The Impact of Three Women on Wharton Esherick’s Craft, an exhibition that explores the significant impact of three women—Helene Fischer, Hanna Weil, and Marjorie Content—on the artistic development and career of sculptor and studio craftsman Wharton Esherick. Artist Miriam Carpenter will join Igoe to speak about her current exhibition, Miriam Carpenter: Shaping the Ethereal, also currently on view at the Michener.

Pam McLean-Parker, Exhibition and Program Coordinator at the Wayne Art Center, will share CraftForms 2021, the 26th International Juried Exhibition of Contemporary Fine Craft showcasing works in basketry, ceramics, decorative fiber, furniture, glass, jewelry, metal, mixed media, paper, wearable art, and wood. Also on display as this year’s CraftForms Companion Show, The Process of Becoming: The Jewelry Collection of Carolyn L.E.

I am eternally grateful to John R. Thornton for this video about my 2017 solo exhibition, that which requires no battle, at Tiger Strikes Asteroid. It is also a happy record of the musical gifts of my treasured friend Murray Savar who recently passed. Murray was a constant inspiration, truest and loving and supportive friend. His memory will be a blessing always.

Catch a brief discussion about how “Small Favors” has impacted my daily studio practice below!

The land upon which we gather is part of the traditional territory of the Lenni-Lenape, called “Lenapehoking.” As part of this dialogue, We recognize the forced diaspora of the Leni Lenape people and hope to work together to dismantle the walls of dismissive cultural lifeways, by leaning into inclusion and equity, and to create a dialogue around Indigenous rights and cultural equity, creating mutual acts of perpetual peace and friendship. We acknowledge the Lenni-Lenape as the original people of this land and their continuing relationship with their territory. In our acknowledgment of the continued presence of Lenape people in their homeland, we affirm the aspiration of the great Lenape Chief Tamanend, that there be harmony between the indigenous people of this land and the descendants of the immigrants to this land, “as long as the rivers and creeks flow, and the sun, moon, and stars shine.”
