Keep 'The Gross Clinic' in Philadelphia! December 17, 2006

PMA, Sunday, 17 December, 11AM-Noon. Stop by and say hello to the "Button Brigade."
Once again, thanks to everyone for coming out and supporting the Philadelphia regional arts community efforts to keep Eakins's "The Gross Clinic" here in Philadelphia. To this end we are dedicated to making the general public aware of the magnitude of this masterpiece and how crucial that it remains here. Philadelphia continues to be a city with a long and noble tradition in being "an artist's town."
Let's meet next week, Sunday 17th December, at The Philadelphia Art Museum at the base of the stairs across from the Eakins Oval at 11 AM-Noon. Afterwards, go visit the museum, enjoy their fine collections, housed in that gorgeous building, including the Eakins Collection of paintings and sculptures.
