Come visit us!
Midwives Gallery
1241 Carpenter St., 2nd floor, suite 2
Philadelphia, PA 19147

Our current show, Organic Machines, is up through October 4th. It features incredible works by recent Moore graduates Lauren Albert, Torie Senseny an Catherine Badger. This is a show full of color, texture, psychdelia and playfulness expressed through sculpture, painting, drawing, printing, video animation and an on-site drawing installation by all three artists.

Celebrate these young up-and-coming artists in our new gallery space. If you'd been to our old space at 733 Sansom, then you'll agree that 1241 Carpenter is greatly improved!
See you there!

Midwives Collective's mini-gallery

Hello all! In addition to us running a space and searching out talented and up-and-coming artists, we Midwives are each artists in our own right. For each show we present in our big gallery space, we will be featuring a small collection of our own pieces in our "mini-gallery" in our office. The door is always open and often the works there will coordinate with the main attraction. So next time you visit us, take a moment to look at what we've been up to in our individual endeavors and get to know us as artists as well!

Thank you!

We are thrilled to announce that in May 2008 we moved into our spacious new gallery in South Philadelphia!
Lauren, Torie and Catherine are '08 graduates of Philadelphia's Moore College of Art & Design. They are the first recipients of the first-annual Midwives Collective & Gallery Exhibition Award. Organic Machines will be our premier exhibition to help celebrate our Grand Opening in September.

Through painting, drawing, video animation and sculpture, these three artists have created their own self-contained worlds that are burdended with the mechanics of their own existences. However, through discovering relationships between nature and machine as well as encountering rhythmic images, the viewer can find solace through the feel of organic movement.
