Enjoy fine art

As a lover of fine art, it was such a pleasure to read the report by Mark Zimmaro on the partial rescue of a once-doomed mural by Philadelphia Magic Gardens ("Magic Gardens displaying Zagar mural masterpiece," Jan. 8).

Basically, a special team of art preservationists rescued parts of a 7,000-square-foot exterior mural by artist Isaiah Zagar at the former Painted Bride Art Center on Vine Street. The recovered pieces will now be on display indoors at Philadelphia Magic Gardens at 1020 South St. from Jan. 17 to March 23. They are naming the exhibit "Lost Landscapes: The Skin of the Bride."

Obviously a great deal of effort and expense went into preserving this unique outdoor work of art. According to Zimmaro, it took five years of appeals to obtain the right to rescue at least part of Zagar's original mural. What a tragic waste it would have been if this masterpiece were completely lost once the Painted Bride building is demolished.

Roxanna is a 4-year-old, 80-pound pit bull mix with a heart as big as her goofy personality. Rescued just in time from being euthanized at a shelter, this peach-fuzzed beauty is ready to find her forever home.

Roxanna is full of energy and would love an active family who enjoys daily walks, hikes or backyard zoomies. She’s a certified snuggle expert, perfect for keeping you warm during those chilly nights.

Roxanna has a soft spot for squeaky toys and will happily pull out her whole collection for a play session.

Roxanna is making great strides with house training, leash manners and even crate time (up to three hours like a champ). She has happily played with both male and female dog foster siblings. With a little patience and another dog to show her the ropes, she’ll thrive in her social skills.

Roxanna needs a family with kids 15-plus who can guide her puppy-like tendencies (she’s still learning not to get mouthy during play).

Families recently enjoyed a joyful day of sunshine, food and ice skating at the Independence Blue Cross River Rink, 101 S. Columbus Blvd., where Children’s Scholarship Fund Philadelphia awarded scholarships to help fund their children’s private education.

The Dec. 8 event brought exciting news to many parents.

“I was overwhelmed with emotion,” said Kenya Epps, upon learning that her 4-year-old daughter, Ladybug, had received a scholarship to attend Jubilee School, in West Philadelphia.

Ladybug is excited to start kindergarten at Jubilee next year.

“This experience will take her so far, and she is so deserving of it,” Epps said.

CSFP provides need-based scholarships through a lottery system to help families cover tuition for kindergarten through eighth grade, supporting up to three children per household.
