he public art project LOOK! on Lancaster Avenue will open on September 30 with the unveiling of 14 visual and sound art installations, which will transform storefronts and windows of vacant buildings along Lancaster Avenue through November 30. The multifaceted project also includes group art shows and public performances in existing galleries and public spaces along Lancaster Avenue, starting at 34th Street and extending westward to 41st.

The project is sponsored by Drexel University, in partner-

ship with the University City District, the People’s Emergency Center and University City community arts groups, and is funded in part by a $30,000 Philadelphia “Restore Corridors through Art” grant.

As Drexel University embarks on an extensive program of urban revitalization in Powelton and Mantua, LOOK! provides a unique opportunity for West Philadelphia residents to come together in a celebration of creativity and innovation, and promote a sense of civic pride and community spirit.

Opening Reception: 3850-3852 Lancaster Ave. The storefront windows at 3850-2852 Lancaster Ave. will

be decorated with a work by Drexel’s Paul Schultz,(see image aboce) a professor of architecture, entitled “Celebrate the Uncelebrated.” Complimentary refreshments will be available, along with detailed information about the various projects, shows and performances.

Gallery Highlights: Art on the Avenue Gallery 3808 Lancaster Ave. Blaise Tobia, a Powelton resident and professor in the Art & Art History Department at Drexel University, will curate a group exhibition “Queries.”

Projects I Gallery 3820 Lancaster Ave. Randy Dalton, artist-in-residence at West Philadelphia’s

Community Education Center (CEC), will curate a group exhibition “Discover a Dozen” and widely recognized Poweltonbased artists Carolyn Healy and John Phillips will do a sculpture/sound/video installation.

Also on display will be “Neighborhood Narratives,” featuring visual and audio portraits of Lancaster Corridor residents by the students of Hana Iverson’s course at Drexel.

People’s Emergency Center (PEC) Chaka Fattah House 4017 Lancaster Ave. Powelton artist, author and educator Bonnie MacAllister will curate a group exhibition of women artists from the Powelton, Mantua and Belmont

ty to transform and strengthen its home community, and strengthen itself in the process.

So: Can John Fry make lightning strike twice?

“I don’t think it’s really lightning striking twice,” he said. “It’s more like the concerted effort of hundreds of people working over time. What I did [at Penn] was recognize that talent and galvanize it to perform.”

There, working closely with the president who hired him, Judith Rodin, Fry oversaw a dramatic physical transformation of the campus, adding new academic and retail facilities that made both it and the adjacent University City neighborhood more attractive and lively, and stabilizing the neighborhood through housing incentives that encouraged Penn affiliates to settle there.

The results were so impressive that Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster hired him as its continued on page 4

ohn Fry, the president of Drexel University, is a man in a hurry. When he speaks, the words flow in torrents. But he is aware that he has embarked on a project that will outlast his tenure at the helm of Drexel.

Not to worry, though – he has had practice doing this. For what he is taking on as president at Drexel is the same challenge he tackled as executive vice president at Penn: Harnessing the resources of a great universi-

And it can even help prevent certain tumors and cancer cells from forming. But if not for falling leaves in 2737 B.C., the world may never have experienced the pleasure associated with drinking tea. As story has it, the Second Emperor of China, Shen Nung, was boiling drinking water over an open fire when leaves fell from a tree into the pot. Turning the water a slightly off color, Emperor Nung, known as a “divine healer,” drank the darkened water, declaring that it produced “vigor of body, contentment of mind, and determination of purpose.”

Nung’s discovery of tea seemed fated. And in a certain sense, so does Whispering Leaves: the Herb & Sip Shop, 4615 Woodland Ave. Whispering Leaves was opened in March of 2011 by Lisa Marie, a retired member of the Philadelphia Police Force. “I’d always wanted to own my own business and when my retirement drew close, I decided to put this plan into action,” Marie explained, adding, “And I have always loved tea, having people over to sit down, drink it and talk. Then there are its healing powers.” According to Marie, tea also helped relieve her son’s psoriasis.

Drexel University

Proud to serve young people...and all Philadelphians.

Drexel’s goal is to be the most civically engaged university in the nation, including creating opportunities for neighborhood and city youth. Below are just a few ways Drexel is working with young people.

Philadelphia Futures

Drexel hosts Philadelphia Futures’ Summer Institute, an intensive bridge program introducing college-bound graduates of Philadelphia public high schools to collegelevel academics through courses taught by Drexel faculty members.

WorkReady

Drexel is a proud partner in this Philadelphia Youth Network program matching 5,000-plus high school students with employment opportunities and service programs that help them build skills for careers.

Health Outreach Program

College of Medicine students and faculty clinicians provide free primary health services to Philadelphia children and adults at four sites across the city.

Holiday Toy Drive

Since 1996, Drexel and community partners have distributed more than 50,000 toys collected by students, faculty and staff and local businesses for Philadelphia children in need at the holidays.
