SUMMARY:March Philly Fixers Guild Repair Fair
DESCRIPTION:Why replace it when you can repair it? In these popup Repair Fairs\, the volunteers of the Philly Fixers Guild will help you fix your stuff\, free of charge\, and they’re ready for the challenge. Got tangled jewelry\, IKEA furniture that needs assembling\, or a vacuum cleaner that’s on the fritz? Sit down with one of their volunteers and they’ll help you hands-on with fixing it. While they do have some limits\, they encourage a read of their ground rules before bringing in your items. \nThis independent collective of talented volunteers from differing technical backgrounds is committed to the idea of “repair rather than replace.” These volunteer Fixers do not simply fix items for people but rather work with them to teach the troubleshooting and repair process. Ultimately\, our community will benefit from less waste and improved economic conservation. \nSign up for a slot here. \n\nTours of NextFab will be available\, and light drinks and refreshments will be served. \n\n\nWhat are Second Thursdays? \nFor 17 years\, the Crane Arts Building has hosted monthly art exhibitions\, performances\, and openings on the Second Thursday of every month. Similar to First Fridays in Old City\, but not wanting to compete\, Second Thursdays were created to highlight the creative community of the North Philadelphia neighborhood – and well it stuck! \nAmerican St. is becoming a booming street for artists\, makers\, and creatives of all types\, and we invite you to come out to be a part of this. Between the Crane Arts Building and the Clay Studio\, the NextFab building at 1800 North houses eight businesses that will also be opening their doors on the second Thursday of every month. At 1800 N. American St. the creative work ranges from restoring historic neon\, sourcing salvaged materials\, empowering artists\, building bicycles\, supporting artisan businesses\, a gorgeous floral market\, and a restaurant mixing up amazing cocktails. All are welcome to this open house-style event! \nWhile at the 1800 N. American St. building be sure to check out our neighbors:\n\nThe Resource Exchange\nSor Ynez\nKeystone Bicycle Co\nBeaty American Salvage\nCenter for Creative Works

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk with Museum for Art in Wood Winter Residency Fellow Adam Atkinson
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Talk with Winter Residency Fellow Adam Atkinson | NextFab 1800 North American Street | Fri. March 15\, 2024 | 6:30 pm EST | Hybrid Event\nClick HERE to RSVP\nGuests may join us either at NextFab North or via Zoom. \nJoin us for a gallery talk with the 2024 Winter Residency Fellow Adam Atkinson. The residency is designed for artists in Greater Philadelphia who work in the medium of wood and is a collaboration between the Museum for Art in Wood and NextFab. An exhibition of the work created over the two-month-long program will be presented at the NextFab North Philadelphia location. \nABOUT ADAM ATKINSON\n \n \nPortrait of Adam Atkinson by Myles Pettengill @myles_standis \n\nAdam Atkinson (he/they) is a Philadelphia-based metalsmith\, curator\, and educator. They received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Studio Practices from Boise State University in 2013 and a Master of Fine Arts in Metal Design from East Carolina University in 2019. Atkinson’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally\, including at the Metal Museum in Memphis\, Tennessee\, Blowing Rock Museum of Art and History in Blowing Rock\, North Carolina\, and Nagoya Zokei University in Japan. \nAtkinson uses a variety of techniques and materials to explore different narratives in their artistic practice. In their The Orifice Series\, they explored the link between the body and nature using metal and wood juxtapositions. Each piece draws upon organic\, bodily imagery and fur textures overlaid on carved cherry wood; all carefully handcrafted using repousse\, an ancient technique of forming sheet metal\, woodcarving\, and burning. Atkinson also interrogated the role traditional Ancient Roman busts played as historical markers for powerful figures in his Wood Bust Series. With these works\, they questioned the legacies of the figures who have been memorialized through busts\, what marks a great achievement in our society\, and the role the form and function play in visualizing social structures. \n ABOUT NEXTFAB \n\nNextFab is a network of membership-based makerspaces that provide access to tools\, technology\, education\, events\, and services for makers and creatives. They offer a variety of education and startup programs\, as well as professional design\, production\, and placemaking services for whatever your fabrication needs. \nABOUT THE MUSEUM FOR ART IN WOOD \nThe Museum for Art in Wood is a museum of contemporary art\, craft\, and design in the material of wood. The Museum presents the work of emerging and established artists from the United States and abroad and offers thought-provoking exhibitions\, a permanent collection of over 1\,100 objects and works of art\, publications and documentation\, events and workshops\, and a library with over 26\,000 artist files\, books\, and documents that span the history of craft. The Museum also brings artists and researchers from around the world to Philadelphia every year to attend its unique Windgate Artist Residency Program. \nIf you have questions\, please contact Katie Sorenson\, Director of Outreach and Communications at katie@museumforartinwood.org.
