In a time when many galleries are closing, Artist Ruslan Khais wrote me that Philadelphia’s Cerulean Arts was expanding and that a show of almost 80 artists would inaugurate a grand new building. I guess great things can happen when people work together to make their dream a reality. It all started when a PAFA trained artist from Canada bumped into a UC Berkely educated architect a couple decades ago. Their plans for the new building includes the enhanced gallery space downstairs which was being revealed to the world on the night I arrived with my camera, and eventually, six loft spaces upstairs for artists to live and work.
