We are honored to work with these two artists and are looking forward to introducing their work to the community on Saturday, January 10th, 2026.
Main Space:
Libby Rosa (b. 1993, Pittsburgh, PA) is an artist, curator, and teacher working in Philadelphia, PA. Rosa works in painting, sculpture, and site-specific installation art characterized by shape-shifting and embedded imagery. Her work challenges the limitations of walls and framing devices, pushing the boundaries of built environments. She received her BFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2015) and her MFA from Cornell University (2019). She’s been featured in Whitehot Magazine, Canvas Rebel, Artblog, David Zwirner’s Platform Gallerist Interview: One Day, New American Paintings, Maake Magazine, and Inertia. She’s had solo exhibitions in Philadelphia at Bertrand Productions and Blah Blah gallery. She participated in SPRING/BREAK Art Show and group shows including MUSKEG with Mother-In-Law + Field Projects for Upstate Art Weekend (Germantown, NY), Hide and Seek (Portland, OR), MASS Gallery (Austin, TX), Hexum (Montpelier, VT), Big Ramp (Philadelphia, PA), blip blip blip (Moscow, Russia), and Marquee Projects (Bellport, NY). Rosa has attended residencies at Tongue River Residency (Dayton, WY), Trestle Art Space (NYC, NY), ASMBLY Session #1 (NYC, NY), and VCU SSP (Richmond, VA). She founded Peep Projects, a gallery space in Philadelphia, PA, in 2020, and curates installations along the Philadelphia waterfront through DRWC. She teaches painting, visual thinking, and drawing at Fordham University.
The Skirt:
Anya Klepikov (b. 1980, Sevastopol, Ukraine) is a scenic and costume designer for live performance. Her designs for theater, opera and dance have been seen nationally at venues including the Baryshnikov Arts Center, the New York Public Library, and Off-Broadway, Baltimore Center Stage, the Yale Repertory Theater, Chicago Opera Theater, Fort Worth Opera, Glimmerglass Festival, Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth, and Florida Grand Opera. For Miami City Ballet she designed the scenery and costumes for the acclaimed new production of Stravinsky and Balanchine’s Firebird ballet, now part of their repertory since 2020. During her artist residency at the I-Park Foundation she created the award-winning site-responsive installation “An Instrument for Introspection: the Nun’s Bed”. Anya’s original work invites viewers into dramatic environments and offers opportunities to interact with objects, playing with the distinction between audience and performer. A reluctance to throw things away has often been an impulse to transform a familiar object into something that deserves new attention. Anya holds a BA in the Humanities from the University of Chicago and an MFA in Design from the Yale School of Drama. As of 2025 she is Assistant Professor of Theatre at Williams College.
