Pretty Colors

The Little Friends arrived the day before their opening and created a colorful and inviting show that will be sorely missed once it comes down. Many folk from the Philly printmaking community payed their respects. Yay printmaking! All the best Little Friends.

Do Projectors Walk When We Aren't Looking?

Here a peak at the work behind the 'scene' of one of the Motion Graphic Paintings by Chris Garvin. The opening was a great success! Check out more photos HERE.

Gregor at Work: Polaroids

Gregor was a super hard worker, he spent three nights in the gallery so that he made sure the mural was ready well before 7pm on opening night. The Philadelphia community is responding quite well to Gregor's representation of our own N. 2nd Street.

Good thing we have a sofa that can function as a bed. No cardboard boxes for you my friend!! If you haven't already please come by and check out the show. It will be up through February 7th. Thanks to those who already visited.

Oh! and we finally have reliable internet! So credit cards are now EASILY accepted. whoopie!

OPENING OF WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM

Come by and see WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM by ROSI DISPENSA up through January 3RD. It was a great opening, and we saw some old friends. Check out more photos on the FLICKR account.

Painting Party

It is time for a painting party! This is what the wall looked like before we coated it with heavy duty paint that was pretty toxic to breath in. We had to take multiple breaks because it was too cold to have the door open. It was a nostalgic evening. Some of the pieces themselves did not want to be removed. But the wall that was left behind was pretty beautiful. All good things have to come to an end, but hopefully they will come again.

Thanks Will and Dave!

Farewell Witch Wagon!

Amble really misses these two. Their show, Witch Wagon, is coming down on Saturday. Anyone who has missed it, please come by tomorrow through Saturday for your last chance to see it. Everything they created, they made on the spot. I am not fooling around here folks, it is a great show. For more, less gallery type pictures check out Growing Down. It is my personal blog with some of the more humorous events of Witch Wagon posted.

Remember we are now open Thursday and Friday 3PM-8PM, Saturday 12PM-8PM and Sunday 1PM-5PM.

Cheers all!!!!

OPENING NIGHT!!!

Opening night was a whirlwind. We did not expect the response we received. It was amazing. Thank you to everyone who made it out, to Pee Wee Martini and Kristen, David Kasper for the PBR, and all of those who participated in making all of the wonderful (and humorous) work that kicked off Amble's grand opening with a smash hit.
