Escape the frenzy of the holiday season (overplayed holiday music, screaming children waiting in line for Santa, anxiety about family gatherings, etc.) and treat your senses to an artistic indulgence at 222gallery in Old City. This exhibition, sarcastically titled, Group Show, “plays off the pretentious nature of the group show, which over time has grown to be ubiquitous, all encompassing, prolific, and ever-striving to be bigger and better with every manifestation.” However, they are not exaggerating one bit when claiming it will be a “group” show, as the exhibit will feature over 60 artists, half of which are based in Philadelphia. Established and emerging artists featured in the show, include Diana Meaker, Ryan Beck, Todd St. John, John Freeborn, Jeffrey Stockbridge, Maureen Duffy, Damien Correll, Emily Erb, Trā Sipple and many more. And if your legs get a bit tired from standing while viewing an endless amount of artwork, then take a seat in the screening room to catch a glimpse of a digital short by Philip Otto.

Group Show will be exhibiting from December 19th until January 30th, but you could be one of the first to feast your eyes on this creative smorgasbord at the opening reception (Friday, December 19th 6pm). And if you’re still a bit anxious about postponing your holiday errands, keep in mind that 222gallery will be selling prints from past shows, apparel, lomo cameras and books, which are perfect gifts for the creative person on your list. Holiday gift shopping and a night of culture. Two birds. one (creative) stone.
