About the Gallery
Rebekah Templeton Contemporary Art is the brainchild of independent curators and artists Sarah Eberle and Ben Will. Eberle and Will worked together on a number of underground curatorial projects. Sarah Eberle has an extensive background in visual art. After graduating from University of California at Berkeley, she worked for Worth Ryder Gallery and Kala Art Institute in Berkeley, CA. Upon arriving in Philadelphia in 2002, she worked as the Gallery Store Manager for The Print Center and played a major role in the founding of Falling Cow Gallery as the inaugural Director.

Ben Will worked as an independent curator in London and Philadelphia, as well as working for a variety of arts organizations including Artistsspace in New York City. The two met while co-curating an exhibition, Squat, displayed at Tower Investments in Northern Liberties, now known as The Jenny Jaskey Gallery. Discovering a mutual love for contemporary art, Eberle and Will decided to open a gallery together. They bought a run down row home on the corner of Girard Avenue and Second Street in South Kensington, the heart of Philadelphia’s newest art neighborhood.
