Art For The Cash Poor, InLiquid’s annual art sale, is back for a ninth year. The weekend of bargain art shopping will take place June 14th & 15th, 1 to 6PM, rain or shine, at the Crane Arts Building. It’s a great chance to meet local artists and score some beautiful artwork. Photographs, paintings, screen prints, books… so much for under $200. And of course, it wouldn’t be an AFTCP event without food, drinks, and live music.

We’ll be introducing you to various artists here on the ol’ uwish over the next few weeks as AFTCP approaches. Today, meet Candy Depew, a silk screen printer. Candy will be selling fabric silk-screen prints (framed and as pillows), silk-screen panties from her moneymaker$ collection, wall decals, silk-screen prints on paper, couture china jewelry, and bone china mezuzahs.

So, tell us about your work!
As a multi-media artist working in porcelain, sculpture, installation, and silk-screen printing on fabric and paper, I draw my influences from museum collections of historical decorative objects, period style rooms, Danish modern design, Japanese textiles, color psychology, and nature. Spurred by my passion for silk-screen printing, I initiated the candycoated “studioschool” of decorative art, a project dedicated to cultivating & spreading applied and decorative art by positively enhancing the beauty that is within us and our surrounding world (founded in dear memory of George Depew (1927-2007).

Where can we see / purchase your art?
My studio, #309 at Crane Arts (and many other artist studios), Space 1026, Art Star, the Print Center, the Clay Studio, and much, much more. Inexpensive art is actually everywhere in Philly, as the prices for great art are much less here than in NYC, London, LA, or Miami due to the low cost of living and the plethora of artists here.
