SUMMARY:Cadence in the Clouds
DESCRIPTION:Cadence in the Clouds is an industry night that celebrates the dreamers in Philadelphia; the artists\, the creatives\, the entrepreneurs\, and the supporters of the arts. It is meant to show Philly artists that they don’t need to move out of the city to have a thriving career. Philly is a city rich in history\, and they should be a part of it given the necessary resources and connections. We aim to create the industry night that puts all of those people in one room\, while using all local Philadelphia businesses and artists\, to make a night where people connect and collaborate through the language of music. While patrons get to enjoy a live concert featuring music from DJ Bear One\, A.Rob\, and Sahlii\, their ticket also comes with artist bios\, raffles for a studio session and a photography/music video shoot\, live art\, complimentary snacks and sweets\, and so much more. \nThis particular concert is all about celebrating artists who are courageous enough to use their music and their art to make a change and stand up to what is going on in the world. It’s meant to show that while some pay punish you for speaking up\, we will highlight you\, putting you on our stage to amplify your voice. Every artist and business who is taking part has used their platform as a release\, and as a means to protest everything happening in the world. By purchasing tickets or any of the art that will be at the event\, you are directly putting money into the pockets of Black and Brown artists.

SUMMARY:First Friday: Diving into Ocean Science
DESCRIPTION:This First Friday\, journey into the heart of our oceans as we explore the urgent challenges of water pollution\, microplastics\, and the incredible creatures that call the deep sea home. Plunge into the world of citizen science by testing out some of the instruments scientists use to monitor the health of our oceans\, and learn what we can all do to combat this global issue. \nHow well do you know the creatures of the deep? Test your knowledge by diving into an interactive digital guessing game\, “dissecting” a sculptural model of a shark from the collection\, and playing a very special game of Go Fish. \nCelebrate Citizen Science Month\nThis event is a part of Citizen Science Month! Explore how everyday people like YOU can make a real impact in environmental conservation. Learn about simple ways to contribute to ocean health and more through citizen science projects that help track pollution\, protect endangered species\, and much more. Our partners at Drexel University will be on hand to talk about what citizen science projects they’re currently working on and how you can help! \nAbout First Fridays\nSpark your curiosity while exploring the exhibits after hours! First Fridays bring together a myriad of activities covering everyday science\, historical oddities\, and everything in between.

SUMMARY:Spotlight Tour: Is There Still Water In That Well? The Restoration of the 18th & 19th Century Well and Wood Well Pump at the Cliveden Kitchen Dependency
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Transcending Thresholds initiative to study\, restore and interpret the service spaces at Cliveden\, this innovative project will conserve and restore the early well to function. Cliveden Preservation Director Libbie Hawes and architectural conservator Andy Palewski will discuss the construction and technology that provided necessary water for the kitchen and household in the 18th and 19th centuries. The project included removing three sections of wood well pump\, restoring the 40-foot-deep stone well shaft and removing the objects and mud at the bottom. The effort now focuses on restoring the pump sections and forged hardware\, including recreating the technology that brings groundwater to the surface for human use. This program will include a behind-the-scenes tour of the kitchen and well and a look at the pump parts being restored\, come prepared to walk around the site. \nGeneral admission is $20; $10 for 19119 and 19144 residents. Tickets can be purchased in advance or on the day of at the Cliveden Barn. \nThe Well Restoration Project is supported by a Keystone Construction Grant from the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission. Transcending Thresholds has been supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.

SUMMARY:Hybrid Valley Talk: Climate Change in our Watersheds with Marc Peipoch
DESCRIPTION:In-person event hosted at the Valley Green Inn \nRiver watersheds\, like the Wissahickon\, are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Join FOW and Marc Peipoch as he discusses the implications of climate change on our watershed and what we can do in the meantime. \nStreams and rivers drain the land we inhabit and collect everything that occurs on it\, including the developing impacts of climate change. Change is a natural feature of river ecosystems\, but global warming is accelerating these changes and aquatic communities may not be able to keep up with this new pace. \nWhat can we expect in the near future? What can we do to help river ecosystems adapt to these rapid changes? How can we adapt ourselves to it? These are some of the questions for which we will try to find some answers. \nMarc Peipoch\, PhD\, is a freshwater ecologist and a research scientist at the Stroud Water Research Center who investigates the effects of global change on streams and rivers. \nRegister here to attend in person at the Valley Green Inn!\nRegister here to attend virtually on Zoom!

The trip will end in the City of Chester passing the proposed site of the proposed Penn LNP and the Chester Waste to Energy Incinerator. \nBoth trips will feature stops and brief presentations led by Maurice Sampson at Environmental Justice locations. Sampson will be the Bike-a-Thon lead rider on both days\, has been an environmental advocate for 52 years\, and is currently the Eastern PA Director of Clean Water Action. \nSign up now to receive more details on how you can sponsor Maurice join him as a sponsored rider or plan a bike ride of your own choosing. You can also make a donation\, all contributions help raise money for Clean Water Action. However you support this event\, it will help raise awareness for the cause of environmental justice while supporting personal health and wellness.
