Rebekah Templeton
Contemporary Art Gallery
FISHTOWN
Rebekah Templeton Contemporary Art is the brainchild of independent
curators and artists Sarah Eberle and Ben Will. Eberle and Will
have worked together on a number of underground curatorial projects.
Sarah Eberle has an extensive background in visual art. After graduating
from University of California at Berkeley, she worked for Worth
Ryder Gallery and Kala Art Institute in Berkeley, CA. Upon arriving
in Philadelphia in 2002, she worked as the Gallery Store Manager
for The Print Center and played a major role in the founding of
Falling Cow Gallery as the inaugural Director. Ben Will has worked
as an independent curator in London and Philadelphia, as well as
working for a variety of arts organizations including Artistsspace
in New York City.
The two met while co-curating an exhibition, “Squat,” displayed
at Tower Investments in Northern Liberties, now known as Tower
Gallery. Discovering a mutual love for contemporary art, they decided
to open a gallery together. They bought a run down Row Home on
the corner of Girard Ave. and Second St. in South Kensington, the
heart of Philadelphia’s newest art neighborhood. After almost
two years of renovations and a grant from the American Street Financial
Services Center, Rebekah Templeton Contemporary Art is ready to
open.
