SUMMARY:No Country for Mothers Screening
DESCRIPTION:True statement: In Pennsylvania\, it is illegal to separate a puppy from its mother before 8 weeks of age. Yet 1 in 4 women return to work within just 10 days of giving birth because they can’t afford not to. \nJoin us for an evening featuring excerpts from the new documentary No Country for Mothers\, followed by a live conversation with Reshma Saujani (lawyer\, bestselling author\, activist\, and founder of Girls Who Code and Moms First.) \nTogether\, we’ll explore the culture wars surrounding American motherhood and why so many families lack the support they need. The film reveals that what many women experience isn’t personal failure – it’s the result of systems that were never designed to support families. \nThe evening concludes with a conversation led by The Fund for Women and Girls\, connecting the film’s themes to what’s happening locally and exploring opportunities for change. \nCome join us\, share your experience and be part of the solution. \nThis event is free and open to everyone. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:3rd Biennial Exhibition: THE PEACE OF WILD THINGS
DESCRIPTION:Artessa Alliance is excited to announce its 3rd Biennial Exhibition\, “THE PEACE OF WILD THINGS”\, at the renowned Cheltenham Center for the Arts\, September 15 – October 10\, 2025. An Opening Reception will be held on Thursday\, September 18\, 2025\, 6-8pm. \nInspired by Wendell Berry’s poem of the same name\, “The Peace of Wild Things” explores the intersection of nature\, tranquility\, and the human spirit. The exhibition showcases a diverse and vibrant collection of works by members of Artessa Alliance\, a collaborative of Philadelphia women artists. \nHighlights of the exhibition include a meditative installation focused on resilience and transformation\, as well as works inspired by the captivating forms of human life and the natural world—encompassing animals\, plants\, and non-living elements of ecosystems and the environment —that encourage viewers to take a closer look at the world around them. Discover introspective and innovative approaches to photography\, mixed and emerging media\, alongside traditional works that enhance the appeal of this diverse exhibition. Each piece invites viewers to reflect on the restorative power of both explicit and imagined wild places\, as well as the sense of calm they offer amid life’s chaos. \nThe Opening Reception is free and open to the public\, offering attendees the opportunity to meet the artists\, enjoy light refreshments\, and experience an evening that promises an inspiring atmosphere for art lovers\, collectors\, and anyone seeking a moment of peace through the creative process. We hope this exhibition provides visitors with a space to pause and rediscover the solace found in the wild.

SUMMARY:Opening Art Exhibtion: Untitled
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition\nUntitled\nSept 8–26\, 2025 \nOpening Reception:\nSept 11 2025\, 5–7pm \nChester County Art Association\n100 N Bradford Ave\nWest Chester\, PA 19382\nDoes an artwork’s title provide a lens that shapes how the viewer will see the work? \nDoes a title provide context\, narrative\, and emotional essence\, hinting at what the artist wants us to feel\, or does it impede the viewer’s interpretation? \nDepending on the artist you ask\, the task of titling work can be an opportunity to take stock of their creation\, or a nebulous exercise in seeking to honor the work and speak to the viewer. \nPhiladelphia CollageWork’s Untitled exhibition invites viewers into the artwork titling process. Based on their observations\, imagination\, and interactions with the work\, viewers will have the opportunity to create a title for each piece in the exhibition. \nWe look forward to a collaborative engagement with the viewers and hope guests will revisit the show to see all the proposed titles.
