received honorary degrees from Drexel University in recognition of their civic leadership. University founder A.J.


Drexel formed the Drexel Collection, out of which the Drexel Historic Costume Collection was later formed, in the late 1890s to serve as an educational resource for the students. Through the remarkable generosity of donors, the collection has become one of the finest research collections in the United States. The mission


of the collection is to edu- cate and inspire, while pro- viding a significant resource for an ever-expanding com- munity of historians, schol- ars, artists and designers. In January 2013, the col- lection was relocated into new facilities in the West- phal College’s new URBN Center, which has greatly improved the accessibility and visibility of the col- lection while preserving it for future generations of researchers and admirers. The Fox donation ensures the future growth and pres- ervation of the collection


and will support efforts for greater accessibility and educational outreach. Plans are already under- way for a full survey exhibi- tion of the collection in fall 2015, including a detailed catalog and an academic symposium. Clare Sauro, curator of the collection, joined Drexel in 2008 and has more than 15 years of experience in the field of historic costume and museum environments. She previously served as an associate curator for the historic collection at New York’s Fashion Institute


of Technology. During her tenure at Drexel, Sauro has contributed to the exhibi- tions “Rest Your Feet” (2008) and “A Legacy of Art, Science & Industry: High- lights from the Collections” (2013.) In 2011, she curated the exhibition “Brave New World: Fashion & Freedom, 1911-1919,” in conjunction with the Philadelphia Inter- national Festival of the Arts (PIFA). Sauro is a frequent lec-


turer on the history of fash- ion and research collections, and is regularly interviewed and consulted by journalists

few slots are still available in the Uni- versity City Arts


League Summer Arts Camp that runs from June 30 to August 29. The camp that is open to children 5 to 10 will explore the natural world through art and explore the great outdoors. There will be four two-week ses- sions; the last session start- ing August 25 will be one week long. The theme of the session is “Art in the Big, Green World.” All classes are led by artists who are graduates of the country’s finest arts schools, according to Nor- een Shanfelter, executive


director, including Penn- sylvania Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA), Moore College of Art, Tyler School of Art and Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). They are also experienced arts teach- ers, according to Shanfelter. “Campers will work in a variety of artistic media and enjoy making work in the Arts League’s full-equipped pottery studio,” she said. Two arts lessons per day, daily outside play and a special trip once during each of the five sessions are offered along with free lunch and an afternoon snack each day. Camp runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day with optional before care (8 to 9 a.m.) and after


care (4:00 to 5:30 p.m.). Costs for the full two-week sessions are $450. A 5% dis- count is available for those who sign up for more than one session and for siblings. At the Woodlands Cem- etery where campers will be going on field trips for two different sessions, they will learn about the animals and birds at this historic site in the first session and later learn about rocks, whether they be the beautiful stone monuments or the historic mansion.


At the Dirt Factory at the University City District’s community compost center, campers will learn about composting and its benefits for plants and gardens.


At Bartram’s Gardens, campers will discover the history & science of the Schuylkill River Watershed and learn about John Bar- tram’s legacy of discovery, gardening and art. The University City Arts League is a community not- for-profit organization that has been serving the community for 45 years through some 60 different classes for adults and children, including an active pottery studio, an art gallery, and outreach in the commu- nity. The Arts League after school arts program serves close to 225 children each week and summer camp more than 100 campers.
