Paradigm Gallery to Host Streets Dept Birthday Show

Work by Amberella | Photo by Conrad Benner

This months marks the fifth anniversary of Conrad Benner’s terrific photo bog, Streets Dept, which he’s used to document and celebrate Philadelphia’s street art. Benner is celebrating the anniversary with a show at Paradigm Gallery, where he will be featuring the work of 10 of his favorite artists.

Wednesday, Benner announced who those artists will be: Nosego, Kid Hazo, Old Broads, Ishknits, Joe Boruchow, Bines, Harlequinade, CERA, Amberella, and NDA.

“Each artist will be taking over five feet of the gallery’s walls,” Benner said, “and I’ll also be selling a handful of photo-prints of my photography.”

A reception for the show is 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Jan. 22.  RSVP to the Facebook event page here. The #StreetsDeptTurns5 show runs from Jan. 22 to Feb. 20. Paradigm Gallery is located at 746 S. 4th St.
