SUMMARY:Baby Gear Group's Pop-Up Swaptacular
DESCRIPTION:Reduce\, reuse\, upcycle at Baby Gear Group’s Pop-Up Swaptacular! Out with the old\, in with the new baby clothes sizes Premie/Newborn-5T\, as well as maternity clothing/gear\, toys\, books\, and small baby gear items – no strollers\, pack-n-plays\, high chairs\, etc\, please. All clothing should be gently used to new\, and other items in working/sanitary condition. \nWe operate the swap on an honor system\, asking that families take roughly the amount of items that they brought with them. An exception to this is expecting families! Expecting families are invited to take as-needed\, especially as newborn items/clothing are so popular to pass along. \nAll leftover items are donated locally or recycled for future swaps.

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:The Historical Society of Pennsylvania Presents: Black Music as History with Dyana Williams

As a cofounder of Black Music Month and a tireless champion for artists’ rights and cultural preservation\, Williams brings a unique perspective to the intersection of music and activism. She will trace the origins of Black Music Month\, highlight the role of music in preserving African American stories across generations\, and reflect on the responsibility and urgency of archiving these cultural expressions.

All ticket reservations will include a Zoom link\, but only onsite tickets will be honored at the door. \nOnsite tickets include admission to the talk and the exhibit Voices of the Community: Local Black Preservation.

SUMMARY:Valley Talk - The Wizard of the Wissahickon: The Life and Legacy of Johannes Kelpius with Timothy Grieve-Carlson\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:In person at the Valley Green Inn or online on Zoom\nIf you’ve spent any time in Wissahickon Valley Park\, you’ve probably walked past the Cave of Kelpius and taken a moment to read the paragraph written on the weird obelisk next to it. Maybe you’ve even googled the name “Kelpius” and learned that he was the leader of the first American “doomsday cult.” Unfortunately\, most of that information is wrong.\nThis talk is going to present research from my new book\, American Aurora: Environment and Apocalypse in the Life of Johannes Kelpius\, where I dig into the history of Johannes Kelpius\, a tremendously influential but comprehensively misunderstood radical Protestant theologian from Transylvania who settled in what is now Wissahickon Valley Park in 1694. Far from being the leader of a “doomsday cult\,” Kelpius was a Christian hermit who remained socially engaged with his neighbors in Philadelphia and cultivated a unique religious interpretation of the Wissahickon Valley and the natural world.\nTimothy Grieve-Carlson\, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor and the Gibson Drinko Chair in the Department of Religion and Philosophy at Westminster College in New Wilmington\, Pennsylvania. He earned his Ph.D. in Religious Studies from Rice University in Houston\, Texas in 2022. Timothy was also a 2021-2022 Fellow at the McNeil Center for Early American Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. His research focuses on the relationship between environmental phenomena and religious practice. His book American Aurora: Environment and Apocalypse in the Life of Johannes Kelpius (Oxford University Press 2024) explores environmental knowledge and apocalyptic thought in the religion of the early modern mid-Atlantic world. His academic writing has appeared in journals like American Religion\, Journal for the Study of Religion\, Nature\, and Culture\, Correspondences: A Journal of Esotericism\, and Magic\, Ritual\, and Witchcraft.\nRegister here to attend in-person at the Valley Green Inn.\nRegister here to attend online on Zoom.\nThank you to our presenting sponsor\, Univest Financial

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.

SUMMARY:Buen Camino
DESCRIPTION:Touring from Hawaii\, Susan Edsall brings “Buen Camino\,” directed and developed by Jessica Lynn Johnson\, to the Yellow Bicycle Theatre (1435 Arch St) for the 2025 Philadelphia Fringe Festival. \nSusan has a perfect life\, a perfect love\, and perfect happiness. When she suddenly undergoes an unexpected loss\, her perfect life ends. Consumed by excruciating pain\, she finds it impossible to imagine any future worth living.\nUntil\, on an ordinary trip to the grocery store\, she hears The Voice. The trouble is\, Susan doesn’t believe in Voices. And yet\, when The Voice tells her to walk the Camino de Santiago in Spain\, she obeys despite knowing nothing about this ancient pilgrimage. \nAt rock bottom\, Susan has nothing left to lose except the stories that bind her to the past. With the help of some improbable Spiritual Guides\, a little bit of magic\, and the Camino itself\, Susan must face her past to have any hope of creating her future. \nAlone on stage\, she becomes 23 characters to take the audience on her solitary walk through 540 miles of rain\, resentment\, and redemption. “Buen Camino” is a moving story of how grief can lead to surrender and ultimately to freedom. \n“Through the vivid\, funny and at times heartbreaking story of an excruciating and intense time in her life\, she magically transfers her own metamorphoses\, from profoundly bereft widow to hopeful\, determined and inspiring human\, to us — the audience. Both the performer and the observers undoubtedly changed by art created out of tragedy.” –NoHo Arts District

SUMMARY:Houston Meadow Trail Work
DESCRIPTION:Meeting at Houston Playground (see location on Google maps here)\nRegardless of where you park\, be sure to refrain from leaving any valuables in your car.\nThere may be limited bathroom access during the service day.\nDid you know we have over 50 miles of trails weaving their way through Wissahickon Valley Park? It takes a lot of work to keep them in good shape for our many park user groups! Our trained Crew Leaders are the primary corps of volunteers to look after them\, working together in small groups of Zone Stewards in different sections of the park. This Saturday\, we’re bringing extra volunteer support to the Houston Meadow section of the park to help tend to a variety of projects.\nAll are welcome to attend\, and no experience is needed. We encourage attendees to work within their own comfort level\, and we always strive to accommodate needs on an individual basis. With that being said\, this service day may include the following activities:\n• Trail work: carrying and using long-handled tools\, moving and placing large rocks\, cutting back overgrowth\n• Invasive plant removal: bending over\, using sharp tools\n• Litter clean-up\n• Repetitive motions\nWe provide gloves\, tools\, and instruction–you just need to show up! Be sure to wear sturdy footwear and long pants\, and remember to bring water with you. Detailed information and confirmation of the meeting location will be sent by email the day before the event. If you are hoping to bring a group of 5 or more people\, please reach out to us first. For more information contact Marisa Miller at miller@fow.org.\nRegister Below!

SUMMARY:Buen Camino
DESCRIPTION:Touring from Hawaii\, Susan Edsall brings “Buen Camino\,” directed and developed by Jessica Lynn Johnson\, to the Yellow Bicycle Theatre (1435 Arch St) for the 2025 Philadelphia Fringe Festival. \nSusan has a perfect life\, a perfect love\, and perfect happiness. When she suddenly undergoes an unexpected loss\, her perfect life ends. Consumed by excruciating pain\, she finds it impossible to imagine any future worth living.\nUntil\, on an ordinary trip to the grocery store\, she hears The Voice. The trouble is\, Susan doesn’t believe in Voices. And yet\, when The Voice tells her to walk the Camino de Santiago in Spain\, she obeys despite knowing nothing about this ancient pilgrimage. \nAt rock bottom\, Susan has nothing left to lose except the stories that bind her to the past. With the help of some improbable Spiritual Guides\, a little bit of magic\, and the Camino itself\, Susan must face her past to have any hope of creating her future. \nAlone on stage\, she becomes 23 characters to take the audience on her solitary walk through 540 miles of rain\, resentment\, and redemption. “Buen Camino” is a moving story of how grief can lead to surrender and ultimately to freedom. \n“Through the vivid\, funny and at times heartbreaking story of an excruciating and intense time in her life\, she magically transfers her own metamorphoses\, from profoundly bereft widow to hopeful\, determined and inspiring human\, to us — the audience. Both the performer and the observers undoubtedly changed by art created out of tragedy.” –NoHo Arts District
