SUMMARY:Well City Challenge Pitch Competition
DESCRIPTION:Fleisher is thrilled to share that we have been selected as a finalist in the Well City Challenge Pitch Competition. This social impact challenge addresses Philadelphia’s millennial health and mental well-being challenges. Fleisher’s team will be presenting its pitch live online on March 2\, from 5:15-6:30 p.m. \nOf the 100 ideas submitted during an open call\, 15 community solutions were chosen to participate in incubator workshops and a pitch competition. Fleisher’s pitch\, a collaboration with our friends at Juntos\, is called Mind Your Art. Our idea leverages hands-on art-making to help build connections\, reduce isolation\, and improve overall well-being for Latinx millennials and their families. We will engage our mobile art studio\, ColorWheels\, to bring socially distanced art activities led by Spanish-speaking teaching artists to parks throughout Philadelphia. \nVirtual pitch competitions are produced by the Economic League and will take place over three days. Each day will center around one of the three focus areas: community and social connection\, food and nutrition\, and mind and body. During each pitch competition\, a panel of judges will select a winner to be awarded $10\,000. The audience will select the People’s Choice Award winner\, which comes with a prize of $7\,500. All winners will move on to an accelerator to further develop their idea. \nWe hope you will participate in the community and social connection pitch competition on March 2 at 5:15 p.m. and vote for our idea to become a reality. Click here to register for the event in advance. We also encourage you to check out the other pitch competitions: \nWednesday\, March 3\, 2021: food and nutrition finalists\nThursday\, March 4\, 2021: mind and body finalists \nThank you for your consideration!

DESCRIPTION:While Fleisher’s exhibitions are on pause\, join us online on Mondays for compelling conversations with past and present Wind Challenge artists. Established in 1978\, the Wind Challenge Exhibition Series has enriched the lives of countless visitors and introduced audiences to contemporary art created by the region’s emerging artists. The Wind Challenge Exhibition Series is made possible thanks to generous support from the Dina Wind Art Foundation and Fleisher members. \nNatalie Kuenzi is a 2021 Wind Challenge artist. She is an interdisciplinary artist and educator living and working in Philadelphia\, PA.

Additionally\, Natalie is an adjunct professor and studio technician at Tyler School of Art as well as an instructor for The Clay Studio and The Claymobile of Philadelphia. \nArtist statement:\nI hope to create space for creative wonder and joy. My work is a hybrid of craft and art-making processes that incorporate elements of ceramics\, fiber\, painting\, and sculpture. Using high and low art materials\, I reimagine material and process to dismantle and repurpose fine art and craft tradition. Currently\, I am exploring new methods of art-making that celebrate the artist and viewer as agents for radical change\, interrupting the way we make and consume through reclamation and material innovation. I seek to disrupt attitudes of taking-and-wasting that permeate Western culture and present an alternative way forward\, encouraging my viewer to reimagine the world around them and celebrating the role of dreaming in the creation of a more equitable world. \nArtist website:\nnataliekuenzi.com \nThis event is open to the public with a suggested donation of $10 but is limited to a maximum number of 100 participants.
