2023 THE YEAR IN REVIEW

While moving things around at iMPeRFeCT Gallery recently, we came across our very first signing book from 2012. We couldn’t NOT browse through it! The first pages totally melted our hearts, reading lovely wishes and sentiments from friends and neighbors, sent us down memory lane… and we thought of our first exhibitions, our first Last Suppers, poetry readings, Rumbas etc. and the hunger/enthusiasm of the community that welcomed us with open arms.  We couldn’t help but feel proud of how much we have done since then, with the support of our thriving artistic community in our beautiful thriving Germantown. We wanted to build a safe place for artists to speak to the world, a place where you could push the envelope, a place for people to connect to each other. And you know what?? We did all of that, and with your help, we’re STILL doing it!! While reviewing this year’s photos we realized just how far all those wishes and sentiments went, how they fueled us, and somehow, against all odds we are still here! 

iMPeRFeCT Gallery was started in our own little corner of the world, just trying to fill a void in our area. Now, in our 12th year, good things are still happening, we got a couple of write ups on The ArtBlog, we held our first outdoor film screening in collaboration with the Philadelphia Latino Film Festival, the Full Moon outdoor concerts are going strong and our Friday Night Rumbas got us named as a place to experience latino arts & culture in The Philadelphia Inquirer. We are still doing what we set out to do, except now, it feels like we are making a broader impact. We are also very excited about new projects and collaborations with other institutions on the horizon. 

At the end of the month, we will close 2023’s last exhibition, the walls will be bare, they will be a blank canvas again and we are giddy for what the future might bring, the possibilities are endless!!! This has been a magical wild ride, if you would like to be a part of this journey and give iMPeRFeCT more staying power, please contribute what you can to help us reach the $20,000 goal of our End of Year campaign, any amount is good, collectively it goes a long way.  Thank you!

Imperfectly yours,

Renny & Rocio
