SUMMARY:Fleisher From a Distance: Portrait Painting
DESCRIPTION:If you haven’t taken Santiago Galeas’ very popular classes while he was one of our teaching artists\, this is your chance to experience his wonderful teaching style. Santiago will demonstrate and explain how to add a second\, more detailed layer to a loosely painted portrait. Discussion topics will also include painting a subject with indirect light\, composing a portrait painting\, recognizing facial structure\, and mixing. \nSantiago Galeas is an emerging artist currently working in New York. Born and raised in Silver Spring\, MD\, Galeas moved to Philadelphia to seek an education at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts\, and then remained to then pursue a career as a figurative painter. Galeas has exhibited in numerous group and solo shows\, including Art Basel Miami 2016\, and has upcoming exhibitions in Denver and a solo in Philadelphia’s A Seed on Diamond Gallery. Aside from exhibiting\, publications have recently been showcasing his work including The Huffington Post\, the cover of Poets and Artists Magazine\, and several local newspaper sources. He has also recently completed a month-long residency with 360 Xochi Quetzal\, residing and working in Chapala\, Jalisco\, Mexico. \nSpecializing in figurative oil paintings\, he has a diverse range of subjects that address varying portraiture concepts. He has utilized his atelier style training and relied heavily on anatomy and structure\, though reinterpreted in a personal style. With strong influences from both traditional Alla Prima portrait painters and the Abstract Expressionist era\, this distorted imagery often results in a covenant between representation and abstraction. Galeas’ paintings serve as a link between subject and viewer: an encounter that is often confrontational and often face to face. \nThis event is open to the public with a suggested donation of $10 but is limited to a maximum number of 100 participants. Advanced registration is required. The event will be hosted through Zoom\, which can be accessed on desktop and laptop computers\, as well as mobile devices. We highly recommend downloading the Zoom app to your device in advance. You will receive a URL to join the event after you complete the registration process.

SUMMARY:Fleisher From a Distance: Experimental Photography
DESCRIPTION:Fleisher teaching artist Ahmed Salvador has been collaborating with artist Scott McMahon on a fascinating photography project for over a decade. The artists live in different states and mostly collaborate through the good old-fashioned postal service. They send each other pieces of film and photographic paper\, exposing them in some fashion over time and distance. The work also involves the destruction of the film and paper as an elegy for the fading art of traditional wet process photography. Destruction specifically by burning or puncturing the film or paper. Join us in conversation with these two accomplished photographers as we talk about their work\, the joys and challenges of collaborating\, and the state of analog photography today. \nAhmed Salvador received his MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills\, MI\, and his BFA from The University of the Arts. He is currently an exhibitions coordinator at the Philadelphia International Airport’s Art and Exhibitions Program and a photography instructor at Fleisher Art Memorial. Ahmed has shown his work in various solo and collaborative shows\, namely at the Halide Project\, Bridgette Mayer Gallery\, the Philadelphia Art Alliance\, Space 1026\, and the Sol Mednick Gallery in Philadelphia\, at Columbia College’s Hardwick Gallery in Columbia\, MO\, and at the Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe. \nScott McMahon grew up in Connecticut and now resides in Columbia Missouri where he is an Associate Professor of Art at Columbia College. He received his MFA from Massachusetts College of Art & Design in Boston and his BFA from The University of the Arts. \nThis event is open to the public with a suggested donation of $10 but is limited to a maximum number of 100 participants. Advanced registration is required. The event will be hosted through Zoom\, which can be accessed on desktop and laptop computers\, as well as mobile devices. We highly recommend downloading the Zoom app to your device in advance. You will receive a URL to join the event after you complete the registration process.

SUMMARY:Social Activism Through Art: Jewelry Settings
DESCRIPTION:In this Zoom Event\, Kathryn Kelly will share with us her journey from Philadelphia artist\, architect\, woodworker\, and former Fleisher student to Central Saint Martins in London\, a mecca for design.

SUMMARY:Fleisher From a Distance - A Day Ends / A Day Begins: Technology as a Language for Empathy
DESCRIPTION:During this interactive\, cross-disciplinary event\, learn about The Fabric Workshop and Museum’s current exhibition\, Samara Golden: Upstairs at Steve’s. Led by museum tour manager Katie Parry and University of Pennsylvania computer and information science doctoral student Ajay Patel\, this event will examine a defining characteristic of our current cultural moment: an overwhelming feeling of isolation coupled with a pervasive\, wired connectivity. Katie will give a short presentation about Samara Golden’s collaboration with FWM that coincided with the unsteadiness 2020 presented\, inviting us to wonder: how can we reflect on our days? How can we understand this moment with empathy? Can technology help us? The events of 2020 impacted the installation of Golden’s work and called for FWM staff to imagine new ways to connect to the public using technology as a tool and a companion. Ajay Patel will discuss the creative process of developing an interactive artificial intelligence platform in response to Golden’s work and its potential to generate empathy\, inspire action\, and conjure hope. \nAjay Patel is currently a Ph.D. student in machine learning at the University of Pennsylvania and the founder of Plasticity\, an AI startup. Recently\, Ajay helped build an AI project for Samara Golden’s exhibit at The Fabric Workshop and Museum. \nKatie Parry is a practicing artist with 20 years of experience in arts education. In her current role as museum tour manager at she imagines tours\, workshops\, and programs to engage all ages. She works in the community to build partnerships that become bridges—connecting contemporary art to all ages. Parry believes that art can serve as a mirror in which concepts such as identity\, loss\, violence\, injustice\, nature\, and love can be reflected within ourselves while we are looking and creating. As an educator\, Parry works towards holding these mirrors up to the light. \nThis event is open to the public with a suggested donation of $10 but is limited to a maximum number of 100 participants. Advanced registration is required. The event will be hosted through Zoom\, which can be accessed on desktop and laptop computers\, as well as mobile devices. We highly recommend downloading the Zoom app to your device in advance. You will receive a URL to join the event after you complete the registration process.

SUMMARY:Havana Time: a Conversation with Dara Haskins & James Claiborne
DESCRIPTION:Philadelphia-based curator and cultural worker James Claiborne is joined by visual artist Dara Haskins for a conversation exploring Haskins’ 2019 series of paintings\, entitled Havana Time. This dialogue centers on time both Haskins and Claiborne separately spent in Havana\, Cuba\, and looks to explore issues of normalcy\, visibility\, and community. Produced as a meditation on Haskins’ 2019 residency in Havana\, this series of paintings continues Haskins’ exploration of the Black Queer body\, and is inspired by Afro-Cuban religion and culture\, the stunning backdrop of the city of Havana\, and the community and connections held there by both Haskins and Claiborne. \nThis event is part of Fleisher’s Social Activism Through Art series. It is open to the public with a suggested donation of $10 but is limited to maximum number of 100 participants. Advanced registration is required. This event will be hosted through Zoom\, which can be accessed on desktop and laptop computers\, as well as mobile devices. We highly recommend downloading the Zoom app to your device in advance. You will receive a URL to join the discussion after you complete the registration process. \nDara Haskins artist statement:\nMy work has been impacted by the surroundings of living in Vedado and Old Havana Cuba. Originating from an important part of my painting process that lies between connecting historical content to the contemporary spaces\, and how that relationship coexists. Havana Time is my complete reflection of the month I lived there. It is inspired by the Afro-Cuban religion\, African art\, location\, and music. This series explores a reflected story of intimacy\, color\, joy\, and Afro-Cuban culture. From Photographs and sketches\, I composed 16-20 small to large scale oil paintings of surrounding people\, places\, and objects I navigated daily. Throughout history\, the gay black body has been a reflection of racism\, underrepresentation\, and hardship. I am to challenge that reflection by capturing the essence of what day to day may or may not look like manifesting normalcy and transparency in domestic spaces. I challenge the memory of my work by exaggerating color and structure to create an atmosphere as well as physical elements of figures or objects as being seen or not seen that reflect and question identity. \nDara Haskins (b.1992 Baltimore) Has rooted her practice in Philadelphia working primarily in painting oil portraits and figurative oil and mixed media paintings. Addressing the ways the black body has been represented and looked at throughout history\, she challenges the identity of being seen and unseen connecting historical content to contemporary spaces and how that relationship coexists. She is currently working on a series of paintings called quarantine series 2020. It reflects isolation\, relationships\, and intimacy throughout figurative oil self-portrait paintings in areas in her home and bedroom. Transferring from Anne Arundel community college in 2017 Haskins received her BFA at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2019. Winning the Franklin C. Watkins Memorial Grant for gifted painters in (2019) and The J Henry Scheidt Memorial Travel Scholarship to Cuba in (2019). She currently lives and works in Philadelphia. \nJames Claiborne is the Public Programming Manager for the African American Museum in Philadelphia. Prior to his current position at AAMP\, James served as the Community Engagement Manager for the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance\, Program Manager with First Person Arts\, and the Editor for Visit Philadelphia’s Philly 360 campaign. Currently\, he serves on the Board of Directors for the Philadelphia Cultural Fund\, a non-profit that distributes over $2 million in city funding to the region’s arts organizations. As an independent curator\, James founded the gallery program at Art Sanctuary\, and has presented exhibitions by a range of artists\, including Deborah Willis\, James Dupree\, Amber Arts\, Richard Watson and Barkley Hendricks.
