ART: Please join us for a very special and long anticipated art experience featuring “The Goodlands Project”, young photographers inspiring hope in North Philadelphia.  Centro Nueva Creacion is the community center where children get to spend time connecting with their creative selves through various disciplines in art, literacy, and technology.  The consciousness that the center promotes shows that positive things happen in North Philly amidst the drugs and violence.  “The Goodlands Project” is a reaction to what is commonly called, “The Badlands.”  The project has shown in various spaces around Philadelphia, from coffee shops to Museums.  We are very excited to show these photos at Fringe in South Philly! Photos will be for sale.

ARTISAN: “Off The Chain Designs” designer, Rachel Turanski, is hot on the scene!   She makes “funky and fresh” out of crocheting….definitely not your grandma’s style!   From earrings to necklaces to hair accessories, she got it goin’ on in many colors for all you cutting edge urbanites!

MUSIC: Fringe will be having 2 musical guests doing 2 very different but also compatible sound experiences.  Andrew Nelson, bassist  and composer for the famed “Martha Graham Cracker Cabaret” (every third Thurs at L’Etage, 6th and Bainbridge) will be unleashing a very unusual sound beast of sorts involving a dissected pipe organ played by several people, creating a very obscure pipe orchestra.  In between Andrew’s sets Abby Galooza will become his new sound creation, called “The Programmers Weirding Module Soundsystem,” which involves musical and non-musical sound sources daisy-chained together through effects for a “weird” and cool sound experience.  We don’t want to miss a drop of this unique happening, so Fringe will be recording the session, and will be posting the night on our website! Be a part of it!

This chapter of art at Fringe will be fun, colorful, and whimsical…..right in line with the sunshine drenched joy of Spring! Come out and support 2nd Saturdays in your hood! 6-10pm.
