November 2007 News
The A-Space November 2007 calendar is now available at http://the-aspace.org/thismonth.pdf
Email us at a-space@defenestrator.org if you want us to email you a copy. Print copies will be available at the A-Space, both inside and from our new folder on the outside of the door (thanks to Lovella from Poems Not Prisons for this great idea!)
There are lots of November dates still available, so contact us now to plan your winter event! You can email us, or fill out a form on our website at
http://the-aspace.org/contact (scroll to see dates)
We hope to return to using our voicemail more effectively soon, but are currently experiencing some technical difficulties with our phone system.
We need winter art shows! Contact us if you’d like to hang a show this winter—or next spring or summer!
Soon we will be kicking off our “40 Friends” Sustainability Drive. If we get 40 friends to donate 5$ each per month, we will be financially sustainable and will be able to focus our energy on providing meaningful programming, and supporting community events. To donate send a check made out to “4722 Association” with A-Space in the memo line to 4722 Baltimore Ave, Phila PA 19143 or donate online via paypal or credit card at http://the-aspace.org/Donate
Smaller (and larger) donations also warmly appreciated.

November Art
Because art is one of the few means by which prisoners are able to express themselves, and because artwork so frequently accompanies book requests, in 1999 Books Through Bars began a prisoner art project.
The Contexts Collection of Artists in Prison represents some of the realities of prison life, a reality which many of us on "the outside" rarely see or consider. This selection of the Contexts Collection is being shown in memory of Barbara Hirshkowitz, curator of the project and long-time leader in Books Through Bars, who passed away in March.
