Bridgette Mayer Gallery


Bridgette Mayer Gallery

709 Walnut Street.

Benefit Exhibition for BalletX

Great show that just opened in this delightful little gallery.  The show contains more than 200 artists and has about 400 works on display.  The show benefits The Philadelphia Dance Company BalletX.  Each artist was given two 10” x 10” square panels and can create what ever the artist would like and interpret the panel however they feel appropriate.  The panels are each valued at $500 or $1000.  The way the pieces are displayed was very stimulating to the eye.  It definitely took a few laps around the gallery to view the works and try to process every work. 
I found this show to be particularly exciting because of the idea to benefit an organization; also I had a chance to talk with the gallery director, Bridgette Mayer.  Listening to here story about how she started this gallery was very inspiring.  I strongly suggest checking out this exhibition and if you are looking to invest in a piece of art then this is a good show to start.
