The MMS Gallery is a new project that aims to showcase creativity provided by everyday people, whether they consider themselves actual artists or not.
And they’re doing it initially with more than 1,000 photo submissions taken with cell phone cameras.
The Gallery’s Mission:
“Perceptions of art are evolving. We believe in making art attainable.
As mobile technology continues to evolve, so does the medium’s relevance in the art world. Some would consider it a travesty to consider the mobile phone as a means to create art. We celebrate it.
Moments that were once overlooked or bypassed because a person didn’t have a camera, can now be captured and shared because of emergence of phone technology. It’s these moments that nurture relevance regardless of whether the person who captured it considers themselves to be an artist.”
MMS Gallery is hosting an opening party tonight, sponsored by Sly Fox and Di Bruno Bros.
You can preview some of the submissions on their Flickr page.

The gang with LOVE Park's "Key to Golden Love" Phanatic statue.
In what has to be — without a doubt — the coolest, photo-documented Phanatic Around Town adventure we’ve seen to date, this past Saturday Phillies super fan Amanda and some of her closest friends went on a marathon, 18-stop tour to pose with each Phanatic Around Town statue while en route to the baseball game that night to watch the Fightin’ Phils shut out the Cincinnati Reds at Citizens Bank Park.
Selected outtakes from the day are below.
The Franklin Insititute's "Ben Phranklin" statue.
The Free Library's "P. Phanatic Star Voyager" statue.
The Kimmel Center's "Music Phanatic" statue.
Jumping for joy with Rittenhouse Square's "All-Starry Night" Phanatic statue.
Click through to see the group’s ultimate prize when they had the chance to get up close and personal with the real live Phillie Phanatic inside Citizens Bank Park. (And we also included some outtakes from the awesome Rittenhouse Square “All-Starry Night” jump shot just for fun…)

Capogiro's new With Love, Philadelphia XOXO® Philly Cheesecake Flavor (Photos GPTMC)
It’s time for another delicious With Love, Philadelphia XOXO® collaboration, this time with Capogiro Gelato Artisans.
You already know about Victory Summer Love Ale, our With Love, Philadelphia XOXO® beer, made by our friends at Victory Brewing Company.
Well, now we’d like to introduce you to the new With Love, Philadelphia XOXO® gelato flavor, made by our friends at Capogiro: Philly Cheesecake swirled with luscious Amarino cherries.
The totally original new gelato flavor — one of more than 375 flavors produced by Capogiro since they first opened in 2002 — is crafted from scratch in small batches each morning using the most fresh, natural and seasonal ingredients.
To stay true to the artisan method of traditional Italian gelato, Capogiro remains devoted to using local hand-picked produce and milk from grass-fed, rbST-free cows.
Bonus: authentic gelato is infinitely richer and creamier than ice cream, while containing about half the fat and calories.
So indulge away!
The With Love, Philadelphia XOXO® Philly Cheesecake gelato flavor will be available at all four Capogiro locations on a rotating basis — Rittenhouse, Midtown Village, East Passyunk and Penn’s Campus.
You can check Capogiro’s website daily to see what flavors are available at what location that day.
And remember: if you’re craving a little something sweet to top off your summer evening, check out one of Capogiro’s Center City locations, open until midnight on weekends, for a scoop of artisanal gelato or sorbet made from Lancaster County fruit and herbs. And look out for the With Love, Philadelphia XOXO® Philly Cheesecake flavor.
You’ll be happy you did!
