PAST EVENTS & ADVENTURES

DECEMBER 2021
December 2021 Artist at the Market project: After seeing the shift in morale during and after covid in my food service bakery job in Reading Terminal Market, I reached out to the higher staff offering solutions to brighten up the space for customers and employees alike with a mural proposal for the indoor seating area the market had to construct so customers could safely dine inside during COVID protocols. Although my original proposal for the indoor seating was not accepted due to the changes in mandates, the manager and marketing associate met with me to propose a holiday window mural for 2021. Aside from constructing the window mural alongside 12th street, we gathered Philly artists and makers to vend at the market.
2023
- Slutty Poems Night at Tattooed Mom! After our first rendition back in 2019, we wanted to revisit our first official hosted event through Out Of Practice, "Slutty Poems Night" to create space to share sultry poetry while keeping it light hearted with comical content, an open mic and an anonymous submission box. We post it as a free event but we do encourage donations for a particular space or mutual aid opportunity we try raise funds for. In the past we've donated funds to Project SAFE. We've hosted 3 more recent SPN events through Tattooed Mom and we can't wait to keep up the great work!
MAY 2022
- We participated at JAWNAROO Festival 2022 in Mullica Hill, NJ on Saturday May 21st with a booth incorporating some collaborative Out of Practice activities side by side with my Perpetual Sketch artwork and Out of Practice merch. Our set up not only included a "Make your own Gelli print station" but an artist affirmations gum ball machine. This all ages event was full of some incredible local artists, food vendors and musicians! We can't wait to tag along for any more of their future events.
- We always love joining in on Chris Davis' event You Can't Fail at Tattooed Mom! On Wednesday, May 25th, we were so excited to be involved in another incredible variety show that always includes visual art, poetry, comedy and more! 21+ plus event.

Along with our behind your phone interactions, we were attending and creating our own in-person events pre-pandemic. Most of our crew participated in events at Front Street Dive, Tattooed Mom and other Philly spots, showing visual art and reading poetry. Below are some photos of past adventures we've had! All of us at Out Of Practice Arts hope to see you a part of them someday soon.
