Talk & Tour
with Shelley Spector

NextFab Studio
3711 Market Street
Philadelphia

Please join us for a special evening event: Breadboard Artist-in- Resident, Shelley Spector, will discuss her work and give a personal tour of her working space at NextFab Studio.

Shelley is a versatile and creative force in the Philadelphia art community. Tangential to her own art practice, she is also the creative protagonist behind Artjaw.com (a curated collection of first person stories from Philadelphia’s beloved art community) and Spector Projects. Mathew Singer wrote a great ESSAY on all that is SPECTOR, inluding a breif account of her seminal Philadelphia gallery (1999-2006) that showcased local and emerging artists and garnered national and international accliam.

A graduate of Philadelphia’s University of the Arts, Spector’s sculptures, paintings, and works on paper are part of many private and public collections, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, HBO in New York, Human Rights Campaign in Washington, and the Philadelphia Museum of Jewish Art. She is a recipient of grants from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the Independence Foundation.

 I’ve been picked to be the new Breadboard resident artist, at NextFab Studio here in Philadelphia. NextFab is a brand new, state of the art facility packed with equipment that any machine loving, tool geek like me would love to get their hands on. I’ll be there this spring and summer, taking classes and using the technology to make new work.

Shelley will be blogging about her Breadboard residency and her first post can be viewed here.

Please join us for an evening with Shelley Spector on June 22.  Space is limited so RSVP soon.
