Insider Picks: Emily Smith

This week’s guest curator is Emily Smith, Executive Director of Philadelphia's Magic Gardens. A portion of the proceeds from her picks will be donated to the Emergency Relief Fund at Puentes de Salud. 100% of donations go directly to families in need, particularly undocumented residents facing unemployment in the food service and labor industries. Puentes checks in with their families and community directly to provide the most support possible.

In response to the COVID-19 crisis, Paradigm Gallery is launching a new initiative called Insider Picks, a series of guest-curated benefit virtual exhibitions. Each week, the gallery will select a fellow small business owner to curate their very own Paradigm exhibition. The guest curators will come from all backgrounds and industries and will share their unique point of view through their curatorial vision. A portion of the proceeds will go to a charity of the curator’s choice, as well as to the curator’s small business, and of course, the participating artists. Insider Picks hopes to bring awareness to the Paradigm artists, small businesses and select charities who have been affected by the pandemic. We’re all in this together!
