Congratulations Virginia!

Last night artist and Sphere College student Virginia Stewart was awarded a $200 grant for her proposal to Sunday Soup Phoenixville. I invite you to take a moment to read her proposal to use the funds to frame some of her artwork for exhibition in the Phoenixville area. The Sunday Soup concept is a fabulous idea and I would like to thank Emma Peabody for bringing it to our community. I also wish to thank Markels of The Diving Cat Studio for providing a location for the Sunday Soup dinner.

Please join me in congratulating Virginia on the beautiful and inspiring work she is doing and on winning the grant!

A Successful Evening!

Last night we celebrated two years of Sphere College! We sponsored the film Amélie at the Colonial Theatre and had a very nice crowd in attendance. People heard about it through an article in the Pottstown Mercury, a couple of spots I did at WPAZ 1370AM (I learned last night who won the tickets by calling in to WPAZ!), on Facebook, and by word of mouth. Before the film, Frank Wolfe, poet, artist, entertainer and student in Sphere College performed a well-received opening monologue introducing the audience to him as a person and as a student. After the show a group of attendees went across the street to Artisan’s Gallery and Cafe for a discussion of the film. What a pleasure it was to celebrate two years of Sphere College!
