About Us

Grizzly Grizzly is an artist collective in Philadelphia, PA. We are all practicing artists who also curate exhibitions, performances, and alternative programming. Using the creative problem-solving skills needed in our daily studio practices, we create a meeting-ground for dialog and a space for innovative work without the constraints of institutional agendas or commercial interests.

We are a collective of sharp edges, committed to frank discussion and unexpected pairings. We do not strive for consensus; we do not show our own work in the space. We are artists curating other artists, supporting a community of makers from within.

Grizzly Grizzly's ongoing mission is to blur organizational lines, promote community, and–above all–take risks. In our intimate exhibition space, we build new connections between artists, curators, and our greater community, here in Philadelphia and beyond.

Grizzly Grizzly began in 2009 and is currently under the stewardship of artists Erin Boyle, Jo Cordasco, Amy Hicks, Diedra Krieger, Giulia Livi, Paige L. Morris, Guava Rhee, Maddie Jones Rodriguez, Jayne Struble, and Ari Zuaro.

Former Stewards: Connor Longo, Tony (Gene) Holt, Phillip Scarpone, Roksana Filipowska, Angela McQuillan, Ruth Scott Blackson, Talia Greene, Amy Hicks, Michael Konrad, Jacque Liu, Jed Morfit, Maggie Mills, Ephraim Russell, Cindy Stockton Moore, Marianna Williams, Dennis Matthews, Mike Ellyson, Mary Smull, Josh Weiss, Matthew Alden Price.
