BID IT UP

Support InLiquid, an Internet hub showcasing the region's galleries and artists, by attending its 12th annual fundraiser and silent auction. As always, art of all media - paintings, photos, clayware and more - will be displayed. The silent auction includes work from over 150 artists, including photographer Judy Gelles' "Boss" (a woman sneering into the camera wearing a feminine pink head scarf) and Darla Jackson's sculpture "It Started at a Young Age" (a bunny-crow hybrid). Refreshments come courtesy of Fork, the Philadelphia Brewing Company and more.
