By Ivy Gilbert or those unfamiliar with high-end craft culture, the term “craft” can conjure up images of wince-inducing crocheted photo album covers or tacky chair cushions in dull fabrics with over-exuberant ruffles. Be forewarned: The 30th Annual Germantown Friends School Craft Show is entirely different, and the crafts featured are created by real artisans. And, for the first time in its 30-year history, the GFS Craft Show will feature a designer who uses 3-D printing to make much of her jewelry. Philadelphia-based Maria Eife is one of the Emerging Local Artists in this year’s show, and she will display an array of jewelry, including rings, bracelets and necklaces, made using a 3-D printer. Her contemporary designs are geometric elements combined into transcendent architectural pieces. Some form symmetrical patterns; other versions break out of obedient geometric forms into more unexpected swirls. Eife’s silver Cage Ring, for example, harnesses the curves of simple circles, combining
F
these with straight silver post supports to produce a ring with the feel of an airy, arched truss bridge. Soaring and sculptural, her work would be at home in any serious Art Museum shop or gallery. Quilted rice bowl by Marne Ryan will be featured, along with the work of 73 other craft artisans, at the 30th Annual Germantown Friends School Juried Craft Show on February 28, March 1& 2. The most popular items within Eife’s line are her earrings—made when she’s not in the room, via a 3-D printer. “It’s a very strange and wobbly line” that separates art from craft, Eife admits. She concedes that, yes, it is somewhat unorthodox within the world of fine crafts to use a CAD program combined with a 3-D machine to design and produce much of her jewelry, yet she also believes that her artistry is enabled by both her formal college education in jewelry makSee Germantown Friends School 30th Annual Craft Show on page 10

40-year Retrospective of Alan Soffer’s Art ow age 76 and an internationally exhibited artist, Alan Soffer was well into his 30s and leading a successful and satisfying career as a dentist when he first felt the stirrings of artistic awakenings. When came on, they did so with a rush and grip. Evidence of art’s abiding hold on the late-blooming Media, PA, artist may be experienced in Soffer’s celebratory 40-year retrospective, “I Never Owned TOP-QUALITY WORK A Lawnmower.” The wide ranging multi-media exhibit opens FREE ESTIMATES at the Villanova University Art Gallery on Monday, March 3.

Meet the artist March 14. located in the Connelly Center, windowconceptsii@msn.com 2nd floor. Refreshments will be served. Convenient and free on-campus parking is available. The exhibit continues to April 7. Works presented in the richly-stocked, chronologically ordered exhibit mirror Soffer’s artistic journey from its origins in ceramic and clay sculptures, to print work, representational and abstract paintings, to his more recent abstract work in the ancient heated wax process of encaustic, which combines Soffer’s favorite mediums of painting and sculpture. Works offering a folkloric look at dentistry by the graduate of the Temple University School of Dentistry are also included in the exhibit. The ancient art of dentistry will be the subject of talk Soffer will give Sunday, March 23, at 3 p.m., in the Art Gallery. The presentation is free and open to the public. In each piece he does, Soffer strives for strong impression and remembrance. “I want to leave art that matters, that has a presence; art that when you pass by it, you’re compelled GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO REACH THE COMMUNITY!

That’s not where Soffer felt his work stood in the mid-1980s, some 13 years after launching himself as a sculptor/painter. Self-taught, he felt he had taken painting “about as far as I could by the seat of my pants.” Then came a life-changing encounter with the writings and ROMOTE OUR USINESS VERY EEK IN ITY UBURBAN EWS teachings of the great mythologist Joseph Campbell and his thesis that self discovery is Call 610-667-6623 for Great Rates and Advertising Ideas to Help Your Business! life’s most important journey. Launching himself in that pursuit, Soffer took courses at several leading art institutions, among them the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. During that process, he came across a course in encaustic, signed up and fell in love with the process. With creative expression increasing its demands on his time, energy and focus, Soffer found it increasingly difficult to continue as a dentist: “I had loved dentistry, but I needed to get out of the office.

N EW L EAF C LUB P RESENTS “T HE A NONYMOUS P EOPLE ” S CREENING he New Leaf Club, 1225 Montrose Avenue, Rosemont will screen the powerful movie, “The Anonymous People,” on Sunday, March 2 at 5 p.m. Doors will open at 4:30 p.m. The screening is free and open to the public, though donations to the New Leaf Club are greatly appreciated. “The Anonymous People” is a feature documentary film about the 23.5 million Americans living in long-term recovery from addiction to alcohol and other drugs. Deeply entrenched social stigma and discrimination have kept recovery voices silent and faces hidden for decades. The vacuum created by this silence has been filled by sensational mass media depictions of people in active addiction that continue to perpetuate a lurid public fascination with the dysfunctional side of what is a preventable and treatable health condition. Just like women with breast cancer, or people with HIV/AIDS, courageous addiction recovery advocates are starting to come out of the shadows to tell their true stories. The moving story of “The Anonymous People” is told through the faces and voices of the leaders, volunteers, corporate executives, and celebrities who are laying it all on the line to save the lives of others just like them. This passionate new public recovery movement is fueling a changing conversation that aims to transform public opinion, and finally shift problematic policy toward lasting recovery solutions. The New Leaf Club is a not for profit community center dedicated to provide a place for individuals to recover and discover themselves through education, enlightenment and entertainment. Located in Rosemont, the New Leaf Club offers a diverse yoga program, open mic events for performers of all ages, free monthly lectures on topics of community interests, a full service cafe with free wi-fi and programs aimed at advancing the well-being of the entire community. For more information about “The Anonymous People” and/or the New Leaf Club, visit in person at 1225 Montrose Avenue in Rosemont; or online at www.newleafclub.org or call 610-525-1711.

Children’s Art Blooms at the Philadelphia Flower Show resh Artists, an award-winning nonprofit delivering art supplies and innovative programming to underfunded public schools, reveals two new projects at the Philadelphia Flower Show that involve the work of hundreds of Philadelphia and Chester public school children. Keeping with the 2014 theme, “Articulture,” the projects engaged children in grades K-12 and will be on display throughout the Flower Show, March 1 - 9, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Horticultural Society’s Flower Show is the world’s largest and longest-running indoor horticultural exhibition. Fresh Artists Selected by Veteran Exhibitor Children’s art is boldly integrated into Flowers by David’s exhibit, “Out on a Limb.” Through a partnership with the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Fresh Artists engaged 240 seventh graders from six Philadelphia middle schools to create enormous flower-filled graphics that flow into the flower display. Under the design direction of Flowers by David’s Robin and David Heller and PHS Chief of Shows & Events, Sam Lemheney, the children created six large banners using floral and botanical motifs drawn from the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Philadelphia public schools represented in this Jenks Elementary School 5th grader, Kayla, with her half-finished interpretation of Hobson Pittman’s “Poppies on a Windowsill,” from the Pennsylvania project Academy of the Fine Arts. a re A M Y Northwest, Blaine Academics Plus School, Juniata Park Academy Middle School, Mastery Charter School, Middle Years Alternative School, and Russell Byers Charter School. Flowers by David has been an award-winning Flower Show exhibitor for nearly two decades. SEPTA Mobile Museum Features Fresh Artists’ Mini-Masterpieces A city bus becomes a temporary art museum outside of the Flower Show in an unprecedented partnership between SEPTA, Fresh Artists and the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. “Fresh Flowers,” an exhibit inside the SEPTA/Fresh Artists Mobile Museum, features 33 works by public school children from Philadelphia and Chester. More than 340 students sent in their interpretations of floral still lifes by Cezanne, Peale, Matisse, Gauguin, van Gogh and others from the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Woodmere Art Museum, The Barnes Foundation and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. The strongest pieces were selected to appear in the SEPTA/Fresh Artists Mobile Museum, and wrapped around the exterior of the bus, which will travel in-service around the City throughout the year. All of the students’ work will be featured in an extension of “Fresh Flowers” at the SEPTA’s Market East Regional Rail Station during Flower Show week. Founded in 2008, Fresh Artists is an award-winning Philadelphia nonprofit that empowers young lives through art by engaging children as partners in philanthropy, by exhibiting children’s artwork in highly visible places, and by providing art supplies and art programs to under-resourced public schools. Fresh Artists invites young artists to donate artwork, and then provides corporate or individual donors with gifts of high-resolution reproductions in exchange for financial contributions. High-quality reproductions have been installed in 250 facilities from Washington DC, to Oregon, including SAP, Yahoo’s NYC headquarters, Comcast Corporation, Independence Blue Cross, Harvard School of Education, World Café Live, Yale University Children’s Hospital, Drexel University, and filled more than 35 homeless and emergency shelters, soup kitchens and child abuse clinics with healing, hopeful children’s art.

MCCC L AUNCHES M USTANGS S UMMER D AY C AMP on2tgomery County Community College has announced the launch “Mustangs Summer Day Camp,” a new summer camp program to take place at the College’s Blue Bell campus. Organized through the Department of Athletics, the camp will be open to children entering grades one through nine, and focus on promoting an active and healthy lifestyle. Based on the best practices from a variety of different educational approaches, the Mustangs Summer Day Camp has been designed to be an engaging environment that will encourage children to develop a love of fitness and active play. During each day of camp, every child will have multiple opportunities to play sports and learn about fitness. Simple games like frisbee or four square will teach children how to work with others to achieve goals, while more complex team sports like basketball and soccer will teach children the value of fair play and sportsmanship. “Because children ‘learn by doing,’ our program emphasizes participation and engagement in new active experiences. This philosophy, combined with positive reinforcement from our fully trained staff of camp counselors, lends itself the development of a healthy relationship with fitness and recreation.” says Mustangs Academic Success Coach Amanda Rogers. The Mustangs Summer Day Camp is divided into a Juniors Camp and a Seniors Camp. Juniors Camp is for campers entering grades 1 - 5. Campers will participate in fitness, sports and activities that are age appropriate, non-competitive and focused on fun. Seniors Camp is for campers entering grades 6 - 9 and will focus on activities that are recreational, instructional and, at times, competitive. All campers will have access to the amenities at Montgomery County Community College’s serene Blue Bell campus. Open Monday through Friday, except July 4, camp will run 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. from June 23, 2014 through August 22, 2014. Families will have the option to register for the full nineweek summer program or on a week-by-week basis. There are also specialty sports training sessions available for campers interested in honing their skills in specific sports. Weeklong specialty sessions will be offered in baseball, basketball, soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, tennis, volleyball and softball. For children ages 2 - 5, Montgomery County Community College’s Children’s Center will continue to offer Preschool Camp. Families can contact the College to learn more about registering siblings in both camp programs. Camp registration runs through June 22, with a late registration fee taking effect after June 6. “We are excited to bring this great new summer camp option to the community,” says Director of Athletics Bruce Bach. More information, including the registration brochure, can be found at www.MustangsAthletics.com/Camps. Families are invited to contact the College to learn more about the program by email at MustangsSportsCamps@mc3.edu or by phone at 215-619-7346.

T HE J EWISH P ERSPECTIVE ON E CONOMIC I NEQUALITY S ERIES he Jewish Social Policy Action Network (JSPAN) and the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College (RRC), with the support of several local Conservative and Reform congregations, will be conducting a series of programs examining Jewish perspectives on economic inequality. “Judaism has a great deal to teach us about a society’s responsibility regarding economic justice and meeting the needs of all,” said Rabbi George Stern, JSPAN’s president. “We intend to better understand that tradition as well as how we reached the current situation in which there is a shrinking middle class, more real poverty among the poor, and ever increasing wealth held by 1% of our population.” The programs will be held Sunday, March 2 (part 1) and Sunday, March 9 (part 2), at 7:30 p.m. at Germantown Jewish Centre, 400 W. Ellet Street (at Lincoln Drive), Philadelphia. March 2 will kick off with a screening of the outstanding documentary film “Inequality For All,” featuring economist Robert Reich. As the director Jacob Kornbluth has said about this film, “Every choice – from letting Reich’s humor show through to approaching interview subjects as people rather than victims – was designed to help show the argument and the economy in human terms that people could wrap their heads around.” On March 9, Rabbi Mordechai Liebling, Director of the Social Justice Organizing Program at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, and Dr. Benjamin Peck, Federal Affairs Manager for Demos, a progressive public policy organization in Washington, DC, will discuss Jewish and social policy perspectives on inequality. Additional programs regarding how economic inequality impacts health care, pre-college and higher education, employment, housing, women and minorities, and even the justice system are being planned for later in the year. The program is free and open to the public; however, seating is limited and reservations are requested. For info, call 215-292-9575 or email jspan@jspan.org.

ing and her many years of crafting jewelry by hand. Eife believes that the finesse of her earrings “comes from the experience of building something in real life. Because I’ve made it in real life, I know how things fit on the body. I have experience doing that in the actual world, and that helps me a lot in the virtual world.” Eife is one of 22 new craft artists accepted to this year’s GFS Show; nearly a third of the show’s 71 craft artisans from across the country are new. She joins artists producing fine crafts in categories including wood, glass, wearable fabrics, decorative fabrics, and mixed media, but the categories belie the diversity of goods. There is everything in between: bull hide and ostrich leather ottomans and bags; jackets made from hand-dyed silk yarn; wood purses; modern barstools with seats that appear to float above the stool; chrome and wood pens; felt cloches, and much more. Visitors will also find jewelry for every specific taste: earrings, necklaces and bracelets in styles chunky, bold, and modern to demure and dainty. The show, which Eife touts as “locally, one of the best” with “lots of high-caliber artists” – many of whom also exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s Craft Show in the fall – has something for everyone. The Germantown Friends School’s Annual Juried Craft Show benefits the GFS Community Scholars Program and the General Scholarship Fund. Hours: Friday, February 28, Preview Party, 6 - 9 p.m. ($40 in advance, $45 at the door); Saturday, March 1, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.; and Sunday, March 2, 12 - 5 p.m. The entrance fee for adults (Friday & Saturday) is $10 per person; students 18 years of age and younger are free. The show is held in the Scattergood and Field House gyms on the campus of Germantown Friends School, 31 W. Coulter Street, Philadelphia, PA 19144.

Pennsylvania Alzheimer’s Association Chapters Applaud Creation of Commonwealth’s First Alzheimer’s Disease Plan he two Alzheimer’s Association Chapters that serve Pennsylvania welcome the recommended strategy to care for Pennsylvanians living with Alzheimer’s or a related disorder that Pennsylvania Department of Aging Secretary, Brian Duke recently presented to Governor Tom Corbett. Duke is Chair of the Pennsylvania Alzheimer’s Disease Planning Committee, which designed the Plan. Gov. Corbett signed an executive order February 7, 2013 creating the 26-member Committee and mandating it submit a Plan one year later. “We are extremely grateful to the governor, Secretary Duke and every member of the Pennsylvania Alzheimer’s Disease Planning Committee for their commitment to develop this comprehensive Alzheimer’s Disease plan that addresses the public health crisis of this century for Pennsylvania,” said Wendy Campbell, President & CEO, Alzheimer’s Association Delaware Valley Chapter, which serves Southeastern Pennsylvania, as well as Delaware and South Jersey. Gail Roddie-Hamlin, president and CEO of the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Pennsylvania Chapter, which serves the remaining 59 counties in the state, explained it was crucial for the Commonwealth to have its own plan, adding, “With over 400,000 Pennsylvanians suffering from Alzheimer’s and related disorders, we must be unrelenting in our pursuit to help these individuals and their caregivers, and this plan is essential to accomplishing that.” The plan’s recommendations include: • Improve awareness, knowledge, and sense of urgency about medical, social and financial implications of Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders (ADRD) across the commonwealth. • Due to the magnitude of the ADRD epidemic, identify, and where possible, expand financial resources to implement this plan through federal, state, foundation, private and other innovative funding mechanisms and partnerships. • Promote brain health and cognitive fitness across the life cycle from birth onward. • Provide a comprehensive continuum of ethical care and support that responds to social and cultural diversity, with services and supports ranging from early detection and diagnosis through end of life care. • Enhance support for family and non-professional care-
T
givers and those living with ADRD. • Build and retain a competent, knowledgeable, ethical, and caring workforce. • Promote and support novel and ongoing research to find better and effective cures, treatments, and preventive strategies for ADRD. Some of the Pennsylvania Alzheimer’s Disease Planning Committee members have a personal connection to Alzheimer’s. Kevin Tucker, a member of the Pennsylvania Alzheimer’s Disease Planning Committee, and Chair of the Alzheimer’s Association’s Pennsylvania Public Policy Coalition described how that helped inform the plan’s creation. “The committee received input from hundreds of people impacted personally and professionally from across the Commonwealth. That and my own family’s experience provided not only valuable evidence for the committee’s consideration as the recommendations were crafted, but it also provided the motivation and sense of urgency for the need for this plan,” said Tucker. Pennsylvania Alzheimer’s Disease Planning Committee member Bob Marino is Co-Chair of the Alzheimer’s Association’s Pennsylvania Public Policy Coalition and a member of the Delaware Valley Chapter’s Board of Directors. “It was a tremendous privilege—an opportunity to honor my parents’ memory and our families across Pennsylvania,” said Marino, who also praised state officials’ and one lawmaker’s efforts to develop the state plan. “Pennsylvania now joins the ranks of 33 other states with a published State Plan ‘blueprint’ for further action, thanks to the far-sighted leadership of State Rep. Kathy Watson (R-144, Bucks) who authored the original legislation in 2012, Governor Corbett and the personal commitment of Department of Aging Secretary Duke, who, too, is a former Alzheimer’s caregiver. It’s a great moment for our Commonwealth.” The entire plan is available and downloadable on the Department of Aging’s website at: www.aging.state.pa.us/. For information about Alzheimer’s disease and available resources, visit the Alzheimer’s Association Delaware Valley Chapter at www.alz.org/desjsepa, the Greater Pennsylvania Chapter at www.alz.org/pa, or call the Chapters’ 24/7 Helpline at 800-272-3900.

Join The Renegade Company, a Philadelphia-based theatrical group, as they explore the themes of soldier life and effects of war mentioned in Kevin Powers’ novel with a staged reading of Irwin Shaw’s 1936 drama, “Bury the Dead.” Set in the “second year of a war that is to begin tomorrow,” the dead on a battlefield refuse burial and enlist the living to resist the generals in this harrowing anti-war drama. Renegade will be co-presenting the reading with Laurel Hill Cemetery for an immersive audience experience. The backdrop of the cemetery and the opportunity to view the show amongst the stones provides a fitting setting for this examination of life, death and everything in between. After the performance there will be a Q & A with the Cemetery, Renegade staff, and a Veteran’s Organization to discuss the relevance of Shaw’s drama and soldier life. “Bury The Dead” is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Ser vice, Inc., New York and is part of the One Book, One Philadelphia program. Two performances of “Bury the Dead” are scheduled at Laurel Hill Cemetery: Saturday, March 15 and Sunday, March 16. All performances begin at 3 p.m. Ticket holders can check in at Laurel Hill Cemetery’s Gatehouse entrance, 3822 Ridge Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19132. Free parking is located in the lot directly across the street from the Gatehouse. Bring your own blankets, beach chairs, snacks and/ or beverages. The cost for the program is $20/person general admission. Advance reservations are requested. Tickets can be purchased at the door, or online at www.thelaurelhillcemetery.org.

he American Heart Association held its 57th annual Philadelphia Heart Ball on Saturday, February 15 at the Philadelphia Downtown Marriott in Center City. The inclement weather could not keep away the more than 700 guests that gathered to celebrate the contributions of the two honorees: George V. Hager Jr., CEO, Genesis HealthCare, who received the Heart of Philadelphia Award and Dr. Morris Kotler, Chairman Emeritus, Division of Cardiovascular Disease, Einstein
Medical Center, who received the Edward S. Cooper, MD Award. Guests also heard the testimony of Derek Fitzgerald, who battled non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, only then to struggle with heart disease – dilated cardiomyopathy – after his remission. Fitzgerald, who is now an Iron Man Triathlete, says he lives every day “like his [heart] donor is watching.” The Philadelphia Heart Ball benefit raised more than $1.7M for local heart disease and stroke research and education.
