Some events on our minds for this week:
Thursday, July 16
Sage Projects on South Street, one of the new temporary artist-run spaces, has an open call for your art for their unjuried show up and show exhibit Dragnet. Stuff is due in Thursday, 4-8 pm. No slides or CDs; bring the real stuff.
Here’s their philosophy for this show:
Our mission for Dragnet is to share the walls, floors and ceilings with as many artists as possible, creating an exciting, diverse survey. We place no limits on the type of artwork and accept work on a first come, first serve basis. No judges, no jury, and no commissions.
A reception for the artists will be from 6-8pm on First Friday, August 7, 2009. Show dates Sunday, July 19 through August 30, 2009.

Also Thursday, don’t forget the Richard Torchia lecture at Vox Populi at 6 pm. The gallery director of Arcadia University will be talking about the history of alternative art spaces in Philadelphia. Also free and open to the public.
And speaking of alternative spaces…
