Sage Gallery

SOUTH PHILLY

The acronym for S.A.G.E. stands for Studio Art Group Engaged. What is this group of artists engaged in? The group originally came together over a year ago for informal studio visits to critique work in progress, exchange information and discuss current events.

The number of members has grown slowly over the past year and is limited only by the number of people that can fi t into an average studio space. In the future, S.A.G.E. plans to pursue other public art events that may include alternative venues for exhibitions, open studios and other special activities.

SAGE Projects
Because of the dire economic situation a number of stores have become vacant on South Street in Philadelphia. Arts groups from around the area are taking empty storefronts and repurposing them to showcase their work and bring new energy to the area.

The space at 333 South Street is our fi rst effort outside of the studio visits. Although similar to a traditional gallery, we approach things differently, both in the type of exhibitions we present and the way we are organized.

In the Project Space on the street level we will be presenting thematic exhibitions with a wide range of works including video, assemblage, sculpture and installation art, while on the second level we will be showing primarily painting and sculpture.

There will be live music and other special events: possibly fi lm presentations, auctions and artists from other disciplines like dance and poetry.

When you visit the Sage Projects one of the artist members will always be there. Please fell free to ask them any questions concerning te work or our group.
