This Wednesday, June 10th at 12:30pm EST, the Portside will be holding the second artist talk as a part of their "Artists at Lunch" virtual series. Portside's "Artists at Lunch" series is a biweekly virtual artist talk being offered to the Portside community and beyond! During each of these 30 minute artist talks that occur every other Wednesday from 12:30-1pm EST, a new artist will be introduced.

This upcoming "Artists at Lunch" will feature Jeffro Kilpatrick, a Philadelphia-based cartoonist and art teacher. He co-founded the Philadelphia Cartoonist Society in 1997 and is a longtime member of the Meathaus Comics Collective. In 2015, Jeffro won a SEED grant (Supporting Entrepreneurship in Education), an annual event presented by PhillyCORE Leaders for his Philly Artrepreneurs program. Jeffro also co-designed a community mural in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia with the Mural Arts Program. During his artist talk, Jeffro will be sharing completed works of art as well as works in progress with viewers, and will hold a 10 minute Q&A session at the end of the talk where viewers will be able to ask questions.

Although the Portside has sadly been unable to provide in person classes for adults and kids at the center during these past few months, we have been able to take advantage of and experiment with virtual programming for kids and adults, and adults. "Artists at Lunch" was created to engage and connect with other artists and people interested in the conversation, in Philadelphia and around the country.  Because this is a virtual program, we have gotten sign ups from people all over the country to participate this Wednesday!

In addition to spreading inspiration and sharing their knowledge, the artists featured as well as the Portside ask for donations from viewers to help sustain the Portside during this time. With these donations which will go to the children's scholarship fund, we will be able to continue "Empowering the Artists of Tomorrow," and right now, art is more important than ever!
