Kathryn Pannepacker and Leslie Sudock Open an Arts Street Textile Studio: Handmade by the Homeless on South Street

Kathryn Pannepacker (WOO ’04) and Leslie Sudock will host an opening reception for their Leslie Sudock: handmade by the homeless at 626 South Street, Philadelphia, PA on Friday September 24, 2010 from 5:00 to 8:00PM.

Continuing the exciting studio via the Finding Home mural project that Kathryn and Leslie have had this past year as a collective of artists and artisans (with/home & home/less), the goal for the studio/gallery space at 626 South Street is to make, exhibit and sell fine art and craft items. The space is a studio, gallery & boutique showcasing the works of individuals who identify as artists and artisans, and some, sometimes stigmatized because of being homeless or in a challenging situation. The aim to bring visibility and dignity for all. For those who want to come and create in the studio space during the day and learn new skills, a nominal daily payment of  one dollar will be charged and a ‘no non-sense’ respectful, professional approach is equally applied to all.
