Peter Hanley and South Philly

I really enjoyed  lecture on September 14, 2010. Peter Haley made some compelling points: art isn't where you make it, it all is made in your head! and more specifically it's not the tools you use( computer, paint, pencil.....) it's how you use them. I checkout his website after the lecture, I have to say his work it pretty cool.

I feel like art events don't have to be a structured thing. I consider a large group of artist getting together to hang out as an art event, the conversation always goes to: art, what they're working on, art they like and so on. I have been friends, who make various types of art(film, painting, dance, acting...)  and we have gotten into some pretty heated arguments on art. Being in the art world is about networking. It's exciting meeting new people, seeing what they do, and learning what their latest endeavors are. Anyways....I went to south Philadelphia and met some awesome art people with cool innovative ideas at a social gathering in the UArts area.
