en years ago, Sara McCorriston and Jason Chen weren’t exactly sure what the Paradigm Gallery and Studio would eventually become. Over time, the little art gallery at 4th and Fitzwater streets in Queen Village has emerged as a friendly showcase for large and local talent, and as a beacon for newer artists attempting to catch a break. At the young, but established age of 10, Paradigm has become many things to many people. “We started it 10 years ago without any definite plan in mind,” McCorriston said. “We just knew a lot of talented people, and their artwork deserves to be seen. It came from that place of just loving their artwork and being excited about it. And I’m still excited about it.” Paradigm is celebrating its milestone with a comprehensive group exhibition, which features the work of more than 125 artists who have contributed artwork to the gallery during the last decade. Appropriately called “TEN,” the new exhibition coincides with the anniversary, and spans across several mediums, including painting, drawing, sculpture, fibers, craft and mixed media. The exhibition opened on Feb. 28 and will continue through March 21 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from noon to 6 p.m. TEN will also preview the work of several solo exhibitions coming up in the 2020 season at Paradigm. Collingswood resident Jedediah Morfit’s solo exhibition is right around the corner, See PARADIGM, page 10>>
