Hi everyone! We have a lot of great things going on at Mew Gallery right now, so make sure you don’t miss out.

But before we get into all of that, I wanted to put in a good word for our friend Nikki Virbitsky. She is showing her new art work at Gleaners Cafe and Gallery. The show is called Incoming and will run from September 13-October 12, 2008. Gleaners is located at 917 S. 9th St. You can also check out Nikki’s website: Tiny Airplanes.

Ok, back to what’s going on at Mew Gallery.
This weekend will be the last couple of shows of Gas which we are hosting for the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. The play is by Anthology Project and runs for about 70 minutes. Here are the remaining showtimes:

Thurs. 9/11 - 8:00pm
Fri. 9/12 - 8:00pm & 11:00pm
Sat. 9/13 - 8:00pm

Mew Gallery and Etsy.com will also be hosting another Craftadelphia event on September 20, 2008 from 11:00am-4:00pm.

What is Craftadelphia!, you ask?
