Upcoming dates:

Thursday, November 6: Law Blank
Mixed Media

Law Blank is a mixed-media artist who reimagines comic book heroes as cultural relics and mythic figures. Using glitter, resin, and layered textures, his work explores themes of identity, transformation, and nostalgia. Each piece blends iconic imagery with dimensional surfaces, inviting viewers to reflect on the emotional weight superheroes carry across generations. Based in Malvern, Pennsylvania, Law’s comic-inspired series has earned acclaim for its bold style and narrative depth.

Thursday, November 20: Anthony Folks
Cultural Art

Anthony Folks is a multidisciplinary artist and dedicated museum educator whose work bridges the gap between art creation and community education. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) and a Master's degree in Art Education from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). As an artist and educator, his practice is deeply rooted in ethnography and anthropology, responding to research and his immediate surroundings. Anthony identifies as a "material culture maker," creating art that is informed by cultural contexts. This methodology allows him to use human-crafted objects and environments as tools for understanding and exploration through art- based research. Currently, Anthony serves as the Teen Engagement Coordinator at the Fabric Workshop and Museum, where he passionately works to inspire and mentor young artists. His role involves developing innovative programs that foster creativity, critical thinking, and a deep appreciation for the arts among teenagers.
