mission
The Artclash Collective is a Philadelphia-based group of artists based who organize art projects and shows that aim to be fun, inclusive and participatory. With each project/show, we seek to create a welcoming forum for people to share their art and form a community of artists. Our shows are always inclusive of anyone who wants to participate, free, all ages and we hope they serve as an inspiration for those who attend. We believe the desire to create is a fundamental human trait that we are often alienated from in modern society. We believe the act of creation can be a transformative experience that reestablishes the bond between artists and their humanity. We believe everyone is an artist and everything you make is art.
We hope we can inspire you to make art.

Sharon WaskoSharon "Quality" Wasko spends almost all of her time in West Philadelphia. She has participated in every Fun-A-Day so far and has been an official Artclash collective member since 2008. Sharon owns a pet care company (
www.PuppyUprising.com) and spends most of her time with dogs and cats, but she also draws pictures, mostly of dogs and cats. She imagines that if Artclash did not exist, she would probably never do anything cool.

She experienced Fun-A-Day Philly as an audience member- loved it and was inspired. She moved to Portland and couldn't imagine this city without it, and she needed to participate this time!
