SUMMARY:Walking the Schuylkill – John Brady Photography
DESCRIPTION:William Penn placed the city where it is because of the Schuylkill River\, guaranteeing the city and the river a prominent place in American history. Over time\, the Schuylkill has served the city and its industry\, first with a canal system and later with railroads and highways in the river’s flood plain. Factories and mills were built along its full length. Industry radically changed the river. Along with bringing farm products and coal to the city. The Schuylkill River provided drinking water. These purposes often collided; eventually drinking water won out. The environmental movement changed the river as radically as the industrial age had. These changes\, and contemporary uses\, leave imprints. “Walking the Schuylkill” intends to capture and highlight those marks\, illustrating the character of the modern Schuylkill River.

SUMMARY:Al Gury: Painting and Purpose
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the Legacy of Albert “Al” Gury (October 23rd\, 1951 – June 25th\, 2026)\nPAFA is honored to present Al Gury: Painting and Purpose\, an exhibition celebrating the legacy of the beloved painter\, educator\, author\, advocate\, and friend. \nFor more than 38 years\, Al shaped the life of PAFA with extraordinary dedication\, generosity\, and care. A PAFA alumnus and Cresson Traveling Scholarship recipient\, he returned to the Academy as a teacher and became one of its most enduring voices in painting\, drawing\, figure drawing\, anatomy\, art history\, and art education. \nAs Chair of Painting from 2000 to 2022\, Al helped guide generations of artists through the discipline\, rigor\, and poetry of the studio. He believed deeply in the power of art education\, not only as technical training\, but as a way of helping students discover who they were becoming. His influence extended far beyond the classroom through PAFA’s free After-School Studio Arts Program for Philadelphia-area high school students\, which he founded and directed\, opening the doors of art-making to young people across the city. PAFA’s own 2024 reflection on the program described Al as a Philadelphia-based artist\, educator\, and writer whose work explored harmony\, color\, composition\, and “visual poetry.” \nAl’s legacy also lives through his paintings\, his three books on painting and drawing\, his teaching at institutions across Philadelphia and beyond\, and his lifelong commitment to community\, advocacy\, and care. He gave quietly and generously\, encouraging students who needed support\, helping those struggling to afford supplies\, and believing in artists before they fully believed in themselves. \nThe exhibition includes a range of works that highlight is extensive painting career. It also showcases his pedagogical approach through the display of color studies\, figure sketches\, and teaching tools. A selection of student work honors Al’s incredible influence as a teacher\, who continually brought patience\, conviction\, humor\, discipline\, and an open heart to the classroom. \nFeatured: Al Gury\, “Valley View”\, Oil\, 60in x 40in\, 2021 \nThis is a Weekly Recurring Event\nRuns from Oct 23\, 2026 to Apr 26\, 2027 and happens every:\nMondays: 10:00am – 5:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US & Canada)\nThursdays: 10:00am – 5:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US & Canada)\nFridays: 10:00am – 8:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US & Canada)\nSaturdays: 10:00am – 5:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US & Canada)\nSundays: 10:00am – 5:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US & Canada)

SUMMARY:Should Companies Write Their Own Climate Rules?
DESCRIPTION:This talk examines the rise of voluntary corporate climate standards—and what their governance could mean for the future of climate action.\n\n\nJoin the Kleinman Center for this lecture. Lunch will be available following the talk. \nCorporate climate pledges gained worldwide attention in the early 2020s as a wave of companies set net-zero targets that were aligned\, at least on paper\, with the long-term goals of the United Nations Paris Agreement. Even now\, as many companies and countries pull back from ambitious climate action\, the voluntary standard-setting regime keeps moving forward. \nThis talk looks at the history of corporate climate pledges and their associated voluntary standards\, as well as a recent campaign to consolidate standard-setting processes with the goal of codifying low-ambition outcomes as consistent with global climate mitigation. Although scholarship identifies benefits and shortcomings of voluntary climate action\, the governance of voluntary standards is fundamentally unbalanced and broken. \nProcesses that were initially conceived of as partnerships between companies and civil society have reverted to nearly full corporate control. Better governance and science-based accounting rules can help\, but reform will not be simple. That said\, dismissing corporate climate governance as a distraction from real climate action risks establishing problematic precedents that can and will be adopted into legally binding climate regimes around the world.

SUMMARY:Eco-Social Realism
DESCRIPTION:Reception and Gallery Talk\n\n\nEco-Social Realism begins with a pressing question: if climate change is also a crisis of imagination\, what role can artists and media makers play in helping us see\, feel\, and politically inhabit the bioregions we already occupy?  \nThe artwork on view here presents narratives of real places in Mexico\, Colombia\, and the United States as well as images and visual culture that challenge those territorial scales and constraints. Play\, beauty\, and fantasy are used to subvert topics that might otherwise be difficult to enter into\, while deep explorations of material culture and language offer their own points of entry.  \nEco-Social Realism brings together artworks by past participants in the Eco-Social Series that show an increased interest in infrastructural and bioregional practices that can visualize and embody the territorial scale of both problems and solutions related to the climate crisis. \nRowan University Museum of Contemporary Art is part of a regional exhibition series that grows out of the ongoing Eco-Social Series\, which has been co-sponsored by RAIR\, Green Sun and Making Worlds books since 2023. The exhibitions are taking place in multiple sites throughout the region in Fall 2026\, including Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery at Haverford College\, Street Road Artists Space\, TILT Institute\, Big Ramp\, and several spaces hosting public programs\, including Haverford’s VCAM Lounge\, The Watershed\, Ulises and Facing Bench.  \nCurated by Daniel Tucker

SUMMARY:Cocina Puerto Rico: A Family Recipe Dinner
DESCRIPTION:A family recipe carries more than ingredients. Mia Castro’s debut cookbook\, Cocina Puerto Rico: Recipes from My Abuela’s Kitchen to Yours\, was built from hours-long FaceTime calls with her Abuela Sara in San Juan\, collecting the dishes that define her family’s homeland. Join Mia at a brand-new Philadelphia space for a celebration of Puerto Rican cuisine with three beloved chefs\, as part of Sisterly Love Collective’s 2026 Cookbooks & Convos festival. \nMia Castro trained under José Andrés\, Thomas Keller\, and Wolfgang Puck\, and has since competed on Chopped\, Hell’s Kitchen\, and Beat Bobby Flay\, where she beat Bobby Flay. \nFor one night only\, Mia will be joined by three Philadelphia chefs bringing their own family recipes to the table. Yun Fuentes is chef/owner of Bolo\, the Rittenhouse Latin American restaurant and James Beard semifinalist kitchen named for his grandfather\, whose recipes still shape the menu. Amy Rivera Nassar built Amy’s Pastelillos around her mother Iris’s recipes\, turning a tribute to her Hunting Park upbringing into a Fishtown storefront. Jaymi Carnazzi is a food writer whose family recipe won a spot on the menu at Recipe Philly\, the new Center City restaurant built entirely from family dishes submitted by home cooks across the Philadelphia region\, interpreted by Recipe Philly’s Chef Andy Revella. \nOne seating at 7:30 PM. Tickets are $155 per person and include a four-course dinner\, a curated drink\, a signed copy of Cocina Puerto Rico\, and gratuity. Books for the evening are provided by Julia de Burgos Bookstore at Taller Puertorriqueño\, Philadelphia’s only bilingual English/Spanish bookstore\, carrying titles exclusively by Puerto Rican\, Latine\, and Latin American authors. Taller Puertorriqueño is a nonprofit cultural center\, and every purchase supports its education programs and free community events.

SUMMARY:Walking the Schuylkill – John Brady Photography
DESCRIPTION:William Penn placed the city where it is because of the Schuylkill River\, guaranteeing the city and the river a prominent place in American history. Over time\, the Schuylkill has served the city and its industry\, first with a canal system and later with railroads and highways in the river’s flood plain. Factories and mills were built along its full length. Industry radically changed the river. Along with bringing farm products and coal to the city. The Schuylkill River provided drinking water. These purposes often collided; eventually drinking water won out. The environmental movement changed the river as radically as the industrial age had. These changes\, and contemporary uses\, leave imprints. “Walking the Schuylkill” intends to capture and highlight those marks\, illustrating the character of the modern Schuylkill River.

SUMMARY:Al Gury: Painting and Purpose
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the Legacy of Albert “Al” Gury (October 23rd\, 1951 – June 25th\, 2026)\nPAFA is honored to present Al Gury: Painting and Purpose\, an exhibition celebrating the legacy of the beloved painter\, educator\, author\, advocate\, and friend. \nFor more than 38 years\, Al shaped the life of PAFA with extraordinary dedication\, generosity\, and care. A PAFA alumnus and Cresson Traveling Scholarship recipient\, he returned to the Academy as a teacher and became one of its most enduring voices in painting\, drawing\, figure drawing\, anatomy\, art history\, and art education. \nAs Chair of Painting from 2000 to 2022\, Al helped guide generations of artists through the discipline\, rigor\, and poetry of the studio. He believed deeply in the power of art education\, not only as technical training\, but as a way of helping students discover who they were becoming. His influence extended far beyond the classroom through PAFA’s free After-School Studio Arts Program for Philadelphia-area high school students\, which he founded and directed\, opening the doors of art-making to young people across the city. PAFA’s own 2024 reflection on the program described Al as a Philadelphia-based artist\, educator\, and writer whose work explored harmony\, color\, composition\, and “visual poetry.” \nAl’s legacy also lives through his paintings\, his three books on painting and drawing\, his teaching at institutions across Philadelphia and beyond\, and his lifelong commitment to community\, advocacy\, and care. He gave quietly and generously\, encouraging students who needed support\, helping those struggling to afford supplies\, and believing in artists before they fully believed in themselves. \nThe exhibition includes a range of works that highlight is extensive painting career. It also showcases his pedagogical approach through the display of color studies\, figure sketches\, and teaching tools. A selection of student work honors Al’s incredible influence as a teacher\, who continually brought patience\, conviction\, humor\, discipline\, and an open heart to the classroom. \nFeatured: Al Gury\, “Valley View”\, Oil\, 60in x 40in\, 2021 \nThis is a Weekly Recurring Event\nRuns from Oct 23\, 2026 to Apr 26\, 2027 and happens every:\nMondays: 10:00am – 5:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US & Canada)\nThursdays: 10:00am – 5:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US & Canada)\nFridays: 10:00am – 8:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US & Canada)\nSaturdays: 10:00am – 5:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US & Canada)\nSundays: 10:00am – 5:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US & Canada)

SUMMARY:Small Wonders Group Exhibition at Arch Enemy Arts
DESCRIPTION:Since the gallery’s inception in 2012\, Arch Enemy Arts has hosted Small Wonders every year. It has become our longest-running annual exhibition and a beloved tradition for our collectors\, who kick off their holiday shopping with small\, original works of art. Featuring artwork priced at or below $300 and measuring no larger than twelve inches\, Small Wonders offers artists an opportunity to reach new audiences and makes collecting original art accessible to a wider range of budgets. Over the years\, the exhibition has showcased hundreds of artists and well over 1\,000 original works\, serving as a welcoming—and addictive—introduction for first-time collectors while giving longtime supporters plenty of reasons to add to their collections. The exhibition will open on First Friday\, November 6th at 5pm\, and work will begin to ship/be available for pick-up the following week. For early access\, email info@archenemyarts.com and ask to be added to the collector preview\, which will be emailed at 2pm on Thursday\, the day before the public opening. If you are looking to purchase work from this show\, we strongly recommend joining the preview. Many works tend to go in the first few hours of the release!
