CRAFTADELPHIA

2008-08-05T07:13:31Z

Why do all of the fun craft/art shows/flea markets that are once a month in Philly always happen on the same day? It STINKS!!! I want to go to all of them but right now my loyalty lies with mew gallery and craftadelphia!

A question...

2008-02-04T12:51:22Z

Is anyone here in the Friday 8:30 am Silkscreen class (I think Katie Baldwin is teaching it, if that helps)? I just registered for it, and am trying to figure out what supplies to buy, as well as catch up on any assignments...

Thanks!

Silkscreening Thurs.

2008-01-27T04:30:09Z

Hey all,
I'm taking silkscreening on Thurs 8:30-11:20 ... because I registered for it Tuesday and hadn't planned to previously, I couldn't get out of work and I missed the first class ...
Could anyone in that class or had Nicole Dul before let me know what I missed??
And/or what supplies are needed?
Thanks!!

Curatorial Studies?

2008-01-21T19:58:33Z

i'm having a bit of a quarter-life crisis. I am a second semester freshman at a small university in rural PA .I have always been interested in the arts, and one of my passions is Art History. Unfortunately, Art History is not offered as a major at my school, only as a minor. After some consideration I have decided that I want to tranfer schools. I saw that Moore offers both a Curatorial Studies program and an Art History program. I was wondering if anyone here is in the Curatorial Studies program and if they liked it. Thoughts/Opinion? How is it different from Art History? Has Moore enabled you to network yourself in the art world? I am most concerned with the curriculum and job opportunities.
If you respond to this I am eternally appreciative!

Hey girls,

I'm a senior in highschool and was accepted to Moore (yay)! But I was hoping to get some feedback from you all. I'm interested in the 2D fine arts program. Can anyone tell me how rigorous it is? Actually, feedback about what you consider to be the strongest major the school offers would be appreciated also! I'm also curious to the experiences associated with attending an all-girl school. I've attended public schools all my life, and I'm not really sure what to expect...

Thanks so much,
Kourtney

Hey, ladies!

Right now, I am a sophomore at Bryn Mawr College (about 20 minutes from Philly) and I am interested in transferring. Bryn Mawr is a really good school, but, after careful consideration, I am no longer interested in the programs they offer or the atmosphere here -- they offer no art classes or teaching certification in art, and now I cannot imagine doing anything else besides that. Anyway, in high school I seriously considered going to art school, but my parents weren't completely supportive of that, so I now find myself now really wanting to go to art school for art education and possibly 2d arts. I have a lot of my older artwork from high school (5 yrs worth), as well as plenty of paintings that I have been doing whenever I'm not in class. I do have a fair amount of experience with art, although I have not been able to express it through classes where I am at now. Bryn Mawr is a liberal-arts college and I hope that some of my credits completed here could be transferred to Moore for their requirements.

I am very interested in Moore because I love Philly, and I would like any advice as to what my chances of being accepted are. Also, are there any transfer students in the same position I am, especially those who have taken no art classes in college?

Could anyone offer info concerning the dorms -- is it better/cheaper to live on campus or off?

Thanks so much! :)

I know you guys don't know me but i have a favor to ask of you.not a big one. I am collecting emails for this up and coming art sight that some friends of mine have created.basically you give me your email and then i start the profile for you.then you put your art up there and proprietors(sp?) look at it and can buy it directly through the site.you don't necessarily have to sell but it's a great option. They are installing a shopping cart feature very soon.It's actually kinda cool and i think my fellow broke artists would appreciate it.haha.

so yeah ..gimme your email please :-) and no this isn't spam, I'm also a working artist out of Philadelphia looking for the same break you are. any venue is a good venue and I would never promote something I didn't beleive in. I Promise promise PROMISE you that i am not a spam bot. I have a great love for the art community but feel like part of it is dying.I think doing this could help ressurrect it a little bit.we need a place where we can come together and discuss our craft. let's make this site the place.let's make it happen.

It's very important that you set up your blog ASAP when you set up your profile because this is how people see and buy your work.

this is my profile if you would like to ad me or at least just check it out:

please tell your other art friends to do the same.

New person here

2007-08-24T08:00:47Z

Hi,

I am moving to Philadelphia in October to be part of the continuing education print media certificate program -- about a year long. Just wondering if anyone out there knows anyone or is involved in the continuing ed program. I don't know anyone in Philly and would love to know some of the good hang out places. I'm almost 24 (as of November) and am not really into the bar scene that much anymore. More off a bookstore and coffee shop girl. But someplace that is good to meet people at. Also any suggestions on grocery stores to shop at and such in the area would be lots of help! Thanks. I hope to meet some of you soon. Thanks so much!

Development Research

2007-08-16T14:12:49Z

Hello girls!

I am a student here at Moore, working over the summer (whatever is left of it at least) in the Development office. I was recently assigned a sort of research project that maybe you girls can help me with.

The development office is trying to figure out how some websites are used for students and/or alumni. So far, we've figured out the obvious ones, Facebook and Myspace. I suppose my job and what I'm asking of you is this: What other websites are out there that have communities or tools to bring together current students and/or alumni from specific schools?

Any help would be appreciated. =D

See you all in... 1 week...

boutiques??

2007-08-09T21:59:20Z

Does anybody know where there are any boutiques that carry one of a kind items anywhere in Philly? I'm looking to consign or sell wholesale. I already know about Bambi in Fishtown, Grasshopper in center city and Ella Jean closed but was in Northern Liberties.. I'm just looking for others, they've got to be around.

shitty philly landlords

2007-07-01T22:39:24Z

Hey grrrls. My friend started this bulletin on Myspace, and I thought it was an excellent idea so I decided to bring it over here. Comment with the names of d-bag landlords you've dealt with. Also, I'd advise writing down all the names you see so you never have to deal with these jerks. Here's three for starters:

1. Mark Weinerman
2. Mitch Ripken
3. Todd Joseph (just won a lawsuit against this fucker for his illegal practices)

Also, does anyone know if there is a bigger, more public version of this list that I can add to? I would really like to alert all of Philadelphia to what a slime ball my old landlord is, and I'm sure many others out there would like to as well.

Hi all!

I'm majoring in Graphic Design and currently attending a community college in NJ. I'm married and have 1 son. I'm in the middle of my first year (credit wise). I wanted to ask a few questions.

Do transfer students have a hard time getting accepted in to Moore?
Do I have to take a high credit load (i.e. 15+ credits)? I really want to go part-time. If I have to go full-time I would prefer 12-15 credits.
Are transfer students considered for scholarships? So far I have a B+ average. I'm aiming for 3.75 GPA when I graduate.
Are there commuter students? I have a family and I'm not feeling a dorm, LOL. I don't think I can afford to move to Philly either.
DH is buying me a laptop. Do anyone have the MacBook Pro? I'm interested in getting the mid-level MacBook Pro.
A portfolio question. I'm thinking about putting in 8-10 drawings and 5-6 computer art pieces. Is that O.K.? I'm in the less is more school of thought!

Thank you so much for you time!

looking for a summer sublet?

2007-03-05T17:54:42Z

My friend Sara is looking for someone to sublet her room to from May 1 (or maybe earlier) until the lease runs out August 15th.

The 411:
☛2 bedroom apartment at 12th and Ritner in South Philly
☛Roomate is a female UArts Student with a sweet dog
☛Rent is $750 plus utilities. The roomate pays less because her room is basically a small closet
☛Backyard and basement with a washer/dryer, so lots of room for storage
☛Room has big pretty windows with lots of sunlight
☛Only a few blocks from the Broad St. subway and lotsa busses
☛Nice neighborhood

This room would be awesome for a couple to split the rent (which works out great because that's what she was doing), someone moving out of the dorms looking for somewhere to stay for the summer, or maybe someone who just wants to hang out in Philly for the summer.

Get back to me or call Sara at (201)532-9415

Brain scans anyone?

2007-03-04T22:27:03Z

Hey guys and gals ...
I'm currently a senior sculpting major at Moore College of Art & Design in Philadelphia, PA ... and I have RRMS. I do a lot of projects that have to do with MS, and I came up with a new one and I was wondering if I could get some help from you.

I want to do portraits of people who have MS. Any sex, any age, any type of MS. What I would like to do is take pictures from real MRI brain or spine scans that have lesions on them and put them in various frames with labels of each person's name on them. Just scan the image of your MRI and send with your name and permission to use the image.

If you would like to participate and help me out let me know by email to SuperElizzzabeth@yahoo.com ... when I put the piece up I will be sure to take pictures and send them to everyone who donated their pics.

Thanks so much in advance!
-Liz Long

P.S. Feel free to check out some of the artwork I have posted up on my Myspace page. :)

P.S.S. If you know anyone else who has MS and would like to participate also let them know!

I recently got accepted to Moore (kind of a last minute thing) but I'm also looking at Tyler School of Art and was wondering if anyone had anything to say about the two schools since they are so close to eachother and about the city and dorms on campus.

p.s. I'm currently living in greenville s.c. going to an arts high school so I'm already familiar with foundations year, and dorm life, but how challenging is the program at Moore ( I want a challenge).
