Does Brookes Britcher ever sleep?

NWAA Member Daniel Mahlman

4 NWAA members were mentioned on the artblog today-- we all have Brookes Britcher to thank--the guy is tireless. When he's not shopping for Lee Walton, he's simultaneously curating exhibitions in Chestnut Hill, Pittsburgh, and Wilmington. Through all of this he still manages to build shit out of garbage!

Here's the best line from the review:

“One piece that absolutely knocked me out, was ‘High Definition’ by Michael Kalmbach.”- Clarissa Shanahan

MICHAEL KALMBACH at the DELAWARE DIAMONDMAN TRIATHALON


Many members of the Wilmington & Philadelphia communities had the opportunity to swing at his best fastball in the streets of Wilmington during the May exhibition, The Rules for Staying Young. Over 3 hours and 250+ pitches later, he was still "dealing" to local youths as the streetlights on Market Street began to buzz in the fading evening light. Yet again, Michael Kalmbach is pushing his body to the limit with the arts in his heart.

Launching Active for the Arts, NWAA Director Michael Kalmbach will be competing in the Delaware DiamondMan Triathalon in Bear, De - Sunday September 12th, 2010.

An active Wilmington hockey player, Michael will swim 0.6 miles, bike 16.0 miles and run 2.0 miles in a rigorous personal effort to raise funds and awareness for the NWAA and its members.

The NWAA is currently accepting donations in any amount through Active for the Arts to sponsor Mr. Kalmbach at the Delaware DiamondMan Triathalon. All sponsorship directly contributes to continuing the activities of the New Wilmington Art Association (NWAA).
