Release: Fall 2004
The Window: Calcutta House
On September 18th and 19th, Kat Reilly, owner of Katseye Studio &
Gallery, opened her doors to the city for an art show and benefit in the
gallery that was a former rug factory built in 1885 in the Port Richmond
section of the city. The Art Show included a horse and carriage ride,
hors d’ouevres, live musical entertainment and featured some of
Philadelphia’s finest painters, sculptors and photographers. About
500 guests attended. Twenty-percent of the proceeds from the open studio
exhibition benefitted Calcutta House. Several residents from Calcutta
House also included their work in the gallery show. Kat Reilly contacted
Calcutta House about a year ago and had a desire to help us in our efforts
to raise both funds and awareness about the impact of AIDS in our community.
Her spirit of compassion and commitment is very closely knit with the
mission of Calcutta House. Our residents are particularly excited since
she has also graciously offered her time and talent to teach them photography
and photo development in her studio.
We look forward to working
with Kat in the future as she will be hosting other shows during the year.
The next show is scheduled for Saturday, December 4th from 6pm till midnight
with a wine and cheese reception and musical entertainment, and Sunday,
December 5th, with an open house, from 1pm to 6pm. 10% of the proceeds
will benefit Calcutta House. Please visit her website at www.katseyestudio.net
or call 215-426-6200 to keep updated on upcoming art shows and other events
at the studio
