MOTOWN
PHILLYBACK
AGAIN
by Meg Farmer
Space 1026 has been host to some of the east
coast’s most surprising art shows and creative
concepts, while spawning numerous solid art
careers for those who dare to become involved.
Including Adam Wallacavage, who was around in
the onset of Space 1026—although he did take a
backseat in finding the space.
“Basically I let them do the dirty work while I hung
around like the Armchair General that I am,”
laughs Wallacavage.
Space 1026 emerged in 1997 as a “10 year
experiment” at 1026 Arch Street in Philadelphia.
The unassuming structure hosts one of the
longest running art communities that is both
funded, and run by artists. The founding members
never really thought it would make it this far—but,
it’s 12 years strong and still going, so kudos are
due to the handful of founding members.
