Sharing this sneak preview of @caldergardens that I got today! I was deeply impressed by the space, the gardens, the art, the architecture. And I think you will be too. Calder Gardens opens this weekend!
As Iâve talked about many timesâ I even wrote an op-ed about this for The Philadelphia Inquirer some years agoâOld City First Fridays is where my interest in art blossomed in my early 20s! And itâs always what I recommend folks check out, if you donât know where to start exploring Phillyâs art world.
You really canât go wrong with any of the galleries, but hereâs four to add to your list next time you visit: @lbcaphilapa@musegalleryphila@pentimentigallery@museumforartinwood !
On May 28th, come honor the freedom practices of Ona Judge and Dominique Remâmie Fells and the rivers that connect their histories which encircle Philadelphia.
âSail Through This to Thatâ is a powerful waterfront art installation and community celebration presented in partnership with @delawareriverwaterfront and @artphilly2026 . Free and open to the public.
The procession, outlined in this video, takes place on May 28th starting at 4:30 PM at Independence Mall (6th and Market Streets), then walking to Spruce Street Harbor Park, led by indira allegra, @notorious_v_a_n , @vshaynef , and others. Donât miss it, yâall!
Longtime followers will know I donât create these kind of series too often, but this is such a natural collaboration! Canât wait to share these stories with you. @delawareriverwaterfront
As the saying goes, knowledge is power. And while our cityâs budget and revenue streams are fairly complex, thereâs a place you can go in Love Park right now to learn more and get empowered. Visit the @peoplesbudgetoffice before June 5!
For a couple more weeks, Philly is home to a billboard created by a local author thatâs pushing back at the prevalence of GLP-1 ads and exploring the mystery of being a person and what it means to have a body. Enjoy this thoughtful interview with @frumpenberg ! You can find the billboard at 119 Fairmount Avenue. (Billboard created with photography from @ddadolyphoto )
