Below is Ryan's bio...

Ryan Berley is a native of Media, Pennsylvania, his parents having been married at the Old Mill in Rose Valley. When the family wasn't traveling the country visiting antique markets and museums, they were living above their antiques shop on Baltimore Avenue, The Saturday Evening Experience. Ryan graduated from Washington & Jefferson College with dual degree in History and Entrepreneurship. Following college, he worked as an auction specialist at Samuel T. Freeman & Company, heading the 20th Century Design Department for 5+ years. In 2004, Ryan and his brother Eric opened The Franklin Fountain, a turn-of-the-century soda fountain ice cream parlor in Old City, Philadelphia that has received international acclaim. In 2011, the Berley Brothers purchased and preserved nearby Shane Confectionery, the oldest candy shop in America and continue to hand-craft sweets onsite in the old world tradition. They have been featured in Smithsonian Magazine, The New York Times, Food & Wine and received preservation awards for their work. Ryan has curated and lectured on craftsmanship, history, base-ball and confectionery at local and international institutions.

Since 2015, Ryan has been a board member of the Rose Valley Museum & Historical Society. Since its opening in 2017 he has been Curator of the Rose Valley Museum at Thunderbird Lodge, a 1904 masterwork of architect William L. Price. He has traveled to Arts & Crafts sites in England, Europe and the United States and attended a variety of Arts & Crafts conferences. In February of 2020, Ryan was a speaker at the 33rd Annual Arts & Crafts Conference in Asheville, North Carolina where he exhibited and lectured on “Trench Arts & Crafts in World War One.”

Ryan and his partner Lizzie Reed live in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania and are members of the Darby Friends Meeting.

NCAC ISA chapter meeting 5/4/2020

NCAC is inviting you to our first scheduled Zoom meeting.

This is our last monthly meeting until we reconvene in September.

It will be a brief meeting to update and familiarize our members with our new meeting application.

Don't fear ZOOM ! If you haven't done so already, you may go to their website for an easy tutorial. You will feel like you are on the opening clip of The Brady Bunch, with all participants shown. Bad hair day ? You may turn off your selfie camera and still participate. You will see two yellow links below- one is the meeting ID and the other is a password. These change for all future meetings and you will get an emailed invitation every month with new links. You may just copy/ paste them in the correct box to Join A Meeting.

Our future monthly meetings will be in this online format which will allow our chapter members to attend without having to travel far and drive at night.

We still will try to plan some field trips, a holiday party and other live get-togethers. This will also allow members who live far away to attend and get ISA education credits for your re-qualification.

Zoom works on computers, smart phones and smart pads in both Apple and Android operating systems.

Please go to ZOOM.US to get started.

Some helpful ZOOM guidelines:

*BE ON TIME - This will be a shorter meeting, and following meeting will be about an hour long with 30 minutes early to socialize

*RAISE YOUR HAND if you want to be recognized by moderator. Current speakers box will light up on the screen

* WE CAN SEE YOU, so please no PJs ( Fred Winer).

* BYOB ;-)

 NCAC ISA Virtual Meeting

 Mon, Mar 9, 2020 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM (EDT)

When it's not a Masterpiece: Appraising Fine Art in the Middle Market

Steve Roach, JD, ISA CAPP

Steve will present specific examples of European and American works of art that have sold at auction over the past several years as case studies to illustrate understand factors to consider when selecting comparables for works valued at $5,000 to $150,000. We'll explore how a work's condition, quality, subject matter and overall desirability can be viewed through the lens of the art market to help you support a value conclusion. We'll also consider how to present this analysis in plain language so that an intended user can understand your reasoning and hopefully, call you again to help with the "nice painting over the fireplace."

Steve is a co-instructor of ISA's Fine Arts course and an instructor of 7-hour and 15-hour USPAP classes.

This meeting will be held on the Go To Meeting format. Please respond to the email I sent around to the members for more information on how to attend.
