VOX IX is Vox Populi’s ninth annual juried exhibition, featuring more than 50 works by 45 artists from across the country. This year’s exhibition was juried by artist Hilary Harkness and writer Hunter Braithwaite. The exhibition will showcase new works in painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, sculpture, video, and sound.

This exhibition is always a highlight of Vox Populi’s season, and this year features artists from Rockland, Maine – to Pontiac, Michigan – to San Francisco, California, with plenty of local talent as well. The artists were chosen from a pool of 400 artists who submitted to this year’s open call.

PhilaMOCA are proud to formally announce our second annual celebration of the Eraserhood with ERASERHOOD FOREVER (AND EVER). The event will be held on Friday, July 12, 2013 and will be comprised of a David Lynch-themed art show followed by Lynch-themed entertainment featuring:

SILENCIO : Pittsburgh-based orchestral ensemble who deliberately evoke the mood and sound of the films of David Lynch. Haunting and beautiful, Badalamenti would be proud.

WEIRD HOT : Philly-based six-piece party band known for their garish grooves, happening harmonies, and creative covers. Always the strangest and most stylish weirdos at the party.
Fun fact: Weird Hot frontman Shawn Kilroy is credited with bringing the Lynch/Callowhill connection to the masses with his short film ERASERHEAD NEIGHBORHOOD.
