Cheap Art Auction!
Trash? Treasure!
Friday December 7, 7:30 PM
A-Space, 4722 Baltimore Avenue
Do you want to support radical community space and independent media in Philadelphia? Do you love art, and want some of it cheap? As you may have heard, a coalition of community groups, including the
Derailleur Collective, the Defenestrator, and the Philadelphia Independent Media
Center, have just gathered their energies together to purchase a community space
at 4134 Lancaster Avenue. Our versatile, slightly run-down building will house
the varied and wonderful projects of these groups and their subsets, and
to provide space for nascent ones as they come Philly's way.
Here's where the art comes in. We now need to raise the money to buy the
space--and we're holding an auction to help us do it.
Do you have holiday presents to buy--but don't want to support [insert evil
corporate entity]'s conquest of the universe?Do you need something beautiful on
your walls, but don't have hundreds to spend in a gallery? Come to the
auction--where any number of beautiful things can be yours for pennies on your
Old City dollar.
There will be a traditional live auction, various silent auction items, all
kinds of entertainment, as well as food and drink. We want everyone to have fun
while supporting the new space! To check out our online auction catalog, visit

We're also looking for donated art! Do you have nearly-finished crafts,
almost-perfect paintings, half-baked ceramics, or really smudged drawings? Send
them along! They could help make someone's holiday, and help give independent
media a permanent home in Philadelphia.
For more information, visit the website above, drop a note to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or give Rolando
a call at +1 (215) 386-5914. We'll see you there!
