Hi, lots of exciting news and things to see coming soon. Personally I’m excited to have the chance to see a suspected Vermeer at the Philadelphia Museum of art. Paradigm Gallery is opening three collaborative shows this week with Space 1026, the Woodmere Annual Juried exhibition is also set to open this week. Find an opportunity to exhibit your personal zine and bookmaking work at Second State Press. Lots more fun and interesting things to see and do, enjoy!
