ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
The goal behind this collaboration was to explore how two institutions working together can create exponentially more reach for individual artists—allowing them to be published and in an exhibition simultaneously. Relationships formed amongst artists in a deeply fractured and unsettled society have become more precious than ever, which is why “On Community and Collaboration” is not only an exhibition of photographic work, but also an example of what can happen when artists and institutions actively support one another symbiotically. The exhibition reflects the importance of local creative ecosystems, where artists can share resources, opportunities, encouragement, and ideas in ways that strengthen both individual artistic practice and collective cultural life.

“I started FRAME/SEQUENCE for two reasons: because I wanted to make publishing accessible to artists, and because I wanted to showcase the work of photographers and writers in the Philadelphia area. I believe this collaboration between F/S and DVAA will help provide more visibility and accessibility to Philadelphia artists,” said Lily Colman about the exhibition.
