MAAG Exhibit Features Artists Revitalizing Philadelphia Through Innovative Design12:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Sat 24
noon to 6 p.m.
Mt. Airy Art Garage
11 West Mt. Airy Ave.The Mt. Airy Art Garage, a creative center for emerging and professional artists in Northwest Philadelphia, invites you to join us for the opening of RUST3, also known as “Renewed Urban Studio Tent.” If nature was allowed to reclaim the land in the city, it would undoubtedly re-use humanity’s refuse and incorporate it into its new life. This sentiment is at the heart of RUST3. Though this multi-dimensional project, artists Andy Walker and Andy Heisey illustrate how materials found in Philadelphia can be recycled into a new structure that builds on the once-contaminated urban soil. RUST is a wigwam-like structure that was first created out of recycled materials with the help of artists and local residents on the vacant lot at 313 S. Broad Street in Philadelphia in August 2012. A month later, the structure was recycled in a second version of RUST just across the street and displayed the bones (wooden arches, living green roof, clay tiles with iron oxide prints of abandoned houses, and windows made from glass bottles) and skin (refuse mixed with slag cement creating collages) of the structure itself. The final version of this project, RUST3, will be created at the Mt. Airy Art Garage at 11 West Mt. Airy Ave. This gallery exhibition will display the work of the artists who worked inside this studio and a new version of RUST, complete with a video of the entire process of the project, as well as the special entrance and model. Admission is $10. RUST3 opens on Saturday, Nov. 10 at 6 p.m. and continues until Sunday, Dec. 9. General hours are: Thursday-Saturday, noon till 6 p.m. and Sunday, noon till 5 p.m. For further information, call 215.242.5074 or visit www.mtairyartgarage.org.

City of Brotherly Love reading with Ned Bachus5:00 pm – 6:15 pm
Saturday, Nov. 24, 2012
5 p.m.
Big Blue Marble Bookstore
551 Carpenter LaneIn City of Brotherly Love, Ned Bachus takes us to a place that gives as much as it takes, with contemporary characters as rich as Philadelphia’s history. Bakers, waitresses, pharmaceutical reps, and bass playing plumbers show us, not just what its like to be a Philadelphian, but what it means to be human. Bachus’s writing perfectly captures the intricacies and contradictions of a city in search of itself. Yet Bachus’s marvelous collection is more than just a portrait of Philadelphia. He approaches his city from so many directions, and his characters encompass so many layers of experience, that it is easy to forget that these were all the product of a single imagination. These are wise stories, beautifully crafted and full of heart.
Ned Bachus served as a counselor and as Associate Professor of English at Community College of Philadelphia from 1974 to 2012, where he received the Alana Collos Award for Teaching Excellence and the Christian and Mary Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching. His stories have appeared in various publications including The Louisville Review, Calliope, Antietam Review, Meridian Bound, Carve and The Evansville Review; he has won fellowships from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and an artist residency at Cill Rialaig Project in Ireland.5:00 pmCity of Brotherly Love reading with Ned Bachus -

T.S. Elliot’s Four Quartets at Quintessence7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Only 5 Performances – November 28 – December 2. Performances at The Sedgwick Theater, 7137 Germantown Ave. Performances are Wednesday and Thursday at 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., and Sunday at 3 p.m.
In a performance that “embodies an exquisite existential tension suspended between self and poetry,” John Farrell’s recitation of T. S.
