Live Painting
December 8th | 7:30 PM 8:30 PM
Hey yous — perhaps your eyes are looking a little gray from all that drab professional zooming . Forever pajama-bottomed, you are feeling bottomed-out. You are in need of a body/booty/mind/heart cleanse, yes? Well — the Turkish baths may be closed, but the art salon is open. Aim a bidet at those sodden spirits, friends, as ye rejoice in some good ol’ public access painting. Artist Eileen Echikson is inviting you to her humble, colorful studio, where she will complete one large painting — L-I-V-E, baby. Watch Eileen slather that sauce (house paint) as she creates another schmear-on-plywood beauty to accompany her collection of towering works. This edibles-sponsored artwork will be supplemented with a smattering of musics, inaudible mumbles, and a takeout break or two. Feel free to play your own cozy tunes, drop some poetry in the Twitch comments, and enjoy one night of blissful, peaceful, *chef’s kiss* programming. Hope to see yous there 🦋

Art Auction 2019
6PM Doors Open
7PM Bidding Begins
We are excited to host our annual Art Auction at 844 North Broad Street. Attendees can expect the same fun and excitement from this art community staple while celebrating the inaugural event in their new home. Think of it as a housewarming party where YOU get the presents.
Space 1026 has continued to thrive for 22 years with the support of its members past and present, as well as those within the Philadelphia community. The annual Art Auction has always been a major calendar event – donations and attendance from the auction foster our continued existence as an art collective and DIY venue in a very crucial way. In its 22nd year, Space 1026 continues to provide affordable studio spaces, house a shared silk screen facility, and offers members a chance to be part of the Philadelphia art community while serving as a supportive venue for a variety of gallery programs and workshops
The Art Auction donations contribute to Space 1026 in a multitude of ways. They help sustain the Space 1026 gallery and studio facilities. They cover the cost of repairs, equipment and materials; they enable artists to create and print promotional postcards at openings for visiting artists; they supplement continued participation in group shows, and cover other costs necessary in hosting events throughout the year. The Art Auction also provides an accessible means for new audiences to discover and own unique artwork donated by members and supporters. Not only does the auction feature work from prominent Space 1026 members like Adam Wallacavage, Andrew Jeffrey Wright, Alex Lukas, Tara Booth, and James Ulmer, but it also boats a collection of pieces from celebrated national artists like Charles Burns, Tim Kerr, Ed Templeton and Erin Riley.
As much as this is a fundraising event for us, it’s also a party for YOU, the community that has unwaveringly supported our DIY mission through all these fun and messy years. There will be food, beverages, an awesome live auctioneer, music, and overall rowdiness. As for the auctioning itself, we invite everyone to participate and enjoy. This event is a great opportunity for collectors both seasoned and just starting out, to get their hands on a piece of original artwork at an affordable price.
In some ways, this year is unlike any other for our members; in others, it is no less different – for we are fortunate to have the support of a strong community that continues to promote eclectic gallery programming and a growing network of artists, a community whose love and appreciation is sure to follow us to our new doorstep. So come celebrate with the Space 1026 family as we host the very first Art Auction to be held at 844 North Broad Street.

Forever/Siempre and the End of an Era for Space 1026
***This is the last exhibition currently scheduled at 1026 Arch Street***
Space 1026 is excited to welcome Layqa Nuna Yawar to our gallery this November for his exhibition Forever/Siempre. We hope you can join us for the opening on Friday, November 2 from 6-10pm!
Layqa Nuna Yawar’s murals can be found in public spaces around the world, monumentally inscribing silenced narratives of people of color from the Americas and from across the globe. Born in Ecuador, having migrated to the U.S. as a teenager, and now living and working in Newark, NJ, Layqa Nuna Yawar makes work that questions injustice, racism, and xenophobia while celebrating cross-cultural identity and migration. Frequently working with host communities to realize public art projects, Layqa Nuna Yawar uses his art practice to create safe spaces for imagination and identity projection.
Layqa Nuna Yawar’s artwork developed out of a traditional visual arts education, a practice of street art interventions and independent self-organization principles. His practice extends to curation, project production, mural making workshops and educational lectures. Among many other collaborations and social justice initiatives, Layqa Nuna Yawar is currently working on educational programming for an upcoming project with Mural Arts Philadelphia. He is also a fellow at Open Society Foundations, and his work in the foundation’s Moving Walls project was recently covered by the New York Times and NPR.
More about the artist can be found here: https://layqa.info and on his Instagram: @layqanunayawar
Sadly, this is our final scheduled exhibition at 1026 Arch Street after over 20 years of exhibitions, events, and non-stop art making in our unique home. Come out to the opening and help share good vibes for our relocation!
