The Artclash Collective is a Philadelphia-based group of artists who organize art projects and shows that aim to be fun, inclusive and participatory. With each project/show, we seek to create a welcoming forum for people to share their art and form a community. Our shows are always free, all-ages, non-juried, and non-commercial. We hope they help people embrace their creativity and serve as an inspiration for those who attend. We hope we can inspire you to make art!

Fun-a-Day shows not organized by the Artclash Collective are independently run, inspired by our example.

The elusive group known as the artclash collective is made up by an ever changing roster of enthusiastic art admirers. These are the suspected initiators of the collective:

Nick Lally “The Architect.” The original driving force who got the ball rolling.

Mike Servedio “The Invisible Hand.” Forever dedicated to the vision.

Kara Schlindwein “The Voice.” Coined the name “Fun-A-Day.”

Corey Bechelli “The Steward.” Claims to practice “Fun-A-Day Forever.”

Lest we forget:

Gina Renee Fontana “The Magician.” Unstoppable force of creative power.

Sharon Wasko “The Legend.” Also started and maintains Fun-A-Day Hudson Valley.

Morgan Andrews “The Man on the Inside.” Indefatigable supporter of the cause.

Sarah Golomb Sarah Golomb studied anthropology at Temple University, but has always kept her hands wet with creativity (sewing experiments…street furniture salvaging). She experienced Fun-A-Day Philly as an audience member- loved it and was inspired. She moved to Portland and couldn't imagine this city without it, and she needed to participate this time!

Fun-A-Day Providence is organized by a collective of talented makers, artists, and planners. From yoga instructors to technology professionals and urban farmers, the Providence Fun-A-Day organizers come from a variety of backgrounds and talents. Started in Providence by Philly native, Joanna Schwartz, the group has grown to include Catie Allard, Hong Chau, Sarah Daegling, Pnina Pressburger, Elizabeth Talbot, Natasha Brooks-Sperduti and many more.

Morgan Cahn I want to engage people and inspire them. I want everyone to feel that they are artists, and to put artistic thought into the places they spend their lives in. www.morgancahn.com
