2015 Wind Challenge Artist
Theresa Rose is an an artist, educator and arts organizer who earned a BA in Art Education from Tyler School of Art, Temple University and MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Her passion for the city fuels the content of her studio and curatorial practice. Rose's mixed-media works on paper pay tribute to the complex beauty found in the urban environment. From elevating the status of a closed down public school to bringing into relief urban intimacies of sports fanatics and public pools, her watercolor and photo-collage works present a layered depiction of a city very much in transition. Rose is also the founder of Philly Stake (2011- 2016), a micro-granting dinner event that funded creative, community-engaged projects.
