FLY A KITE! Presented by DVAA at Penn Treaty Park

Have you ever flown a kite? Here’s your chance!

I’m hosting a FREE kite-flying event at PENN TREATY PARK on Sunday, May 7, 2023, (2pm - 4pm) presented by Da Vinci Art Alliance with support from Penn Treaty Special Services District. We will hand out small paper kites inspired by a traditional Vietnamese kite on a first-come first-served basis. I designed a special set of images for these kites (an example is pictured here). They were lovingly screen-printed in a workshop at Second State Press this past weekend.

Bringing your own kite is welcome and encouraged!!

Connecting Through the Metaverse: An NFT Art Exhibition

Connecting Through the Metaverse: An NFT Art Exhibition

I am grateful to learn about NFTs through this workshop series and virtual group exhibition during Philly Tech Week!

The University City Science Center partnered with the Department of Decision and Systems Science at St. Joe’s University to launch a blockchain collaboration between Philadelphia artists and high school students. Artists attended a workshop series explaining how to mint their own NFTs and explore the world of non-fungible tokens in the art world. Each artist was then partnered with a team of high school students, who minted an NFT of their artwork and used this process as a data set to investigate. As a result, students created visualizations from that data and presented their findings at the First Annual High School Analytics and Data Visualization Competition. This virtual exhibition, held in Agora World, will showcase the NFT artwork created through this collaboration, as well as highlight the visualizations by the top three student groups in the competition. The opening reception event will take place on Thursday May 12th, in a hybrid setting at a Venture Café Thursday Gathering and Agora World. Visitors will be able to visit the virtual gallery through the end of May.

On a personal note, I’ve received my first shot of the Pfizer covid-19 vaccine and I’m looking forward to full protection after my second dose in mid-April. Maybe I’ll be able to hug some of my friends and family in May. I’m grateful for the great work going on at the Philadelphia Convention Center’s FEMA vaccination site and I hope we can approach this spring and summer with the spirit of recovery and rediscovery. Wishing everyone a sweet year.
