PJ Clarke's Launches New Art Initiative In Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Raw Nerve and PJ Clarke's Philadelphia is pleased to announce the opening of a new solo show by multi-talented painter and poet, Sophie Brenneman. Called "Running Through Honey in the Dreamworld," the show opens at PJ Clarke's in the Curtis, Philadelphia, on 'First Friday' April 3^rd, 2020 at 5.30pm.

Curated on behalf of PJ Clarke's, Raw Nerve Presents is a series of Arts events that will provide a showcase for emerging artists with ties to Philadelphia. 

Thea Scotti, Director of Member Services at PJ Clarke's, explains the rationale for the company's involvement: "Philadelphia has a long-standing tradition of training fine artists, dating back to 1805 with the foundation of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA). There's an incredible pool of young artistic talent here in the City thanks to Art Academies such as PAFA, The Moore College of Art, Tyler, the University of the Arts and Fleisher. Wherever we operate, we try to give back to the local community; we want young talent like Sophie to be successful. PJ Clarke's can help provide a showcase for Art in an unstuffy, casual setting. We're shaking things up."  

"Running Through Honey in the Dreamworld" opens April 3^rd  and runs to June 10^th, 2020. Works for sale will include oversized charcoal drawings, charcoal miniatures and sculpture by the artist. 

PJ Clarke's Philadelphia is located in the Curtis Building at 601 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, adjacent to the Liberty Bell. The Curtis Building houses the national treasure, "The Dream Garden", one of the largest glass mural mosaics in the US. Designed by PAFA alumni Maxfield Parrish and executed in Tiffany favrile glass in 1916, "The Dream Garden" draws admirers from around the world.
