If anyone wants to come volunteer today and help us tie crystals to the garden fencing at Martha’s Community Farm in Audobon across the street from St. Gabe’s we would ♥️ to see you!!!
Look what we just had delivered!! Beautiful k9 crystals over 400 of them. An anonymous donor donated the funding needed to order these beautiful pieces that are going to be installed as an art installation by @mmaneos for Martha’s Community Farm which was part of the old St. Gabriel’s place for wayward teens back in the day, located in Audobon,Pa. We will post more images of the install next week after we tie all the crystals to the community garden fencing. It is an experiment in light and growth. The crystal prisms will separate the UV lights from the ☀️ onto the plants so they can collect more of the spectrum of lights they need to grow bigger and better. 🤞🏼This fine art project is also a nod to the past students and residents of St. Gabe’s who were bright lights of hope for positivity and growth. ![]()

#Volunteers are urgently needed for the #gardening season to help with a wide range of activities. Those who volunteer will have the opportunity to participate with people across all walks of life who are coming together to make #connections and heal from trauma within a climate of mutual respect and understanding. ❤️ Another way to support the #Farm is through making a donation. ![]()

Brush With the Law will be collaborating with Martha’s farm over the course of the summer and is undertaking several ongoing projects to support this staple in the community as well as exploring the connection between the natural world and art. We plan to also help make meditative spaces for community members to use to center themselves and enjoy the calming environment of the outdoors. Keep an eye out for updates on this awesome #collab!
Painting with @fpcambleryouth on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. This wonderful church @fpcambler helped make this mural possible with a donation to help pay for the printing of our design onto #polytab fabric. Printing done by @benvolta and his #philadelphia printing company - Mural Provisions. ![]()

The fpc youth group and its leader Bree along with our talented youth artist @soph.keaser and dear friend @amber.nickels.1 made painting together a family like experience. The mural is to be installed in Ambler so the youth participating in the actual making of the mural helps give ownership to them and the neighborhood. Think of 10 years from now and them looking back upon this experience with the actual mural in place. A huge #communitybuilder experience. 🤩![]()
