SUMMARY:SOCIALISM IS THE SOLUTION!
DESCRIPTION:The capitalism is a system of exploitation\, environmental destruction\, and war. Join us to discuss the fight for a better world.\n\n\nJoin Us for “SOCIALISM IS THE SOLUTION”!\nCapitalism is in deep crisis. Since Donald Trump’s return to the White House\, working class and oppressed peoples have faced a relentless attack in the U.S. and around the globe. The advent of the second Trump regime has seen an unprecedented attack on workers\, immigrants\, women’s rights\, civil rights\, education\, and democratic rights. Now Trump is waging another war overseas. Working class living standards have been degraded by almost 50 years of one-sided class war waged by Wall Street. Working people are plagued by low wages\, high rents and high food prices. Work is more precarious and workers are likely to be stuck working more than one part-time job in order to merely survive. The high cost of student debt is a shackle around the throats of an entire generation. Join us for a day of discussion and education. \nNo one will be turned be turned away for inability to pay. If you have a hardship\, contact the organizers.

SUMMARY:FRED WILSON: THE MASTER PLAN or In Between the Big Bang and Modern Art Is the Restroom
DESCRIPTION:THE MASTER PLAN or In Between the Big Bang and Modern Art Is the Restroom is a suite of twenty-two photogravures commissioned in 2004 by the Brodsky Center at PAFA and completed in 2009. They are on view for the first time at PAFA in the Works on Paper Gallery of the Historic Landmark Building\, for one year\, in conjunction with the exhibition A Nation of Artists. \nAs an artist living and working in New York City\, I had to support myself one way or another. Working simultaneously in the educational department of the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the American Museum of Natural History\, and the American Crafts Museum made me wonder about how the environment in which cultural production is placed affects the way the viewer feels about the artwork and the artist who made these things. \n—Fred Wilson \nThe prints reproduce floor outlines from visitor orientation maps of eighteen major art\, cultural\, and natural history museums in North America and Europe. The succession of diagrammatic images\, precisely etched in off-white and black inks\, encourage viewers to revisit memories of time spent in museums and recapture the sense of adventure sparked by picking up a map. \nAs one of the most influential American artists of this century\, Fred Wilson has set in motion a profound transformation prompting museums to reconsider how they engage viewers’ learning experiences through art and artifacts. Two hundred and fifty years after Charles Willson Peale (1741–1827) established the American museum at the nation’s birth as the destination for educational advancement—commemorated in his painting The Artist in His Museum (1822)\, on view in the rotunda—Wilson examines the consequential role museums have played since. \nWilson’s conceptual inquiry challenges museums as neutral repositories of knowledge. His groundbreaking 1992 installation at the Maryland Historical Society\, Mining the Museum\, exhumed omitted histories of colonized and enslaved people and shifted attention to the authority embedded in institutional architecture\, furniture\, labels\, and registration systems through his creative retooling of the display apparatus. His subsequent work in glass\, sculpture\, painting\, drawing\, and print addresses the cross-continental history central to the Black experience\, including themes of race\, diaspora\, liberation\, and mourning.

SUMMARY:Trillium and Wine: Complementary Pairings
DESCRIPTION:Great wine and food pairings work because they either echo one another or create striking contrasts—and the same principles can be applied to the natural world. Join renowned scent ecologist Dr. Robert Raguso for a one of a kind sensory experience that blends botany\, chemistry\, and the art of tasting. \nDr. Raguso has spent decades studying the floral scents of native plant species\, including trilliums—one of Mt. Cuba’s signature collections. Unlike conventional flowers\, trilliums release unexpected fragrances reminiscent of wine\, cheese\, fruit\, and spices. Drawing on his pioneering research in chemical ecology and plant pollinator communication\, Dr. Raguso has curated a “flight” of Mt. Cuba trilliums paired with wines that complement their earthy\, woodsy aromas. \nIn this immersive class\, explore the chemistry behind trillium scents\, their ecological significance\, and the surprising ways they align with the flavor profiles of selected wines. As you taste and compare\, take note of the pairings that resonate with you—each one revealing a deeper connection between plants\, pollinators\, and the sensory world we share. \nExperience a rare opportunity to learn from a leading expert whose work has transformed our understanding of floral scent and biodiversity\, and enjoy an unforgettable journey through the fragrances and flavors of spring.\n(Ages 21 and over) \nThis program takes place in-person at Mt. Cuba Center Saturday\, April 25\, 2026. An evening section of this program runs Friday\, April 24. \n About the Instructor: \nRobert Raguso\, PhD\, is a professor of Chemical Ecology at Cornell University. His research interests run the spectrum of insect-plant interactions mediated by chemistry\, especially the role of fragrance in pollination ecology and animal behavior. He has promoted his research by organizing symposia\, short courses\, and workshops world-wide. \nREGISTER NOW: \nGeneral Public \nIndividual+ & Dual+ Members \nSupporter\, Advocate & Conservator Members \n

SUMMARY:Brothers in Nature
DESCRIPTION:A 5-mile (2.5 mi out/ 2.5 mi back) nature walk for Black men to step away from noise\, reconnect\, and reset at Pennypack Park.\n\n\nBrothers in Nature is a 5-mile guided walk for Black men to step away from noise and reconnect with themselves in a grounded\, intentional environment. \nThis experience is about slowing down\, being present\, and creating space without pressure. There are no expectations to perform or share\, just an opportunity to walk\, breathe\, and exist in a calm\, supportive setting. \nWe’ll walk 2.5 miles to a midpoint\, pause briefly to reset\, then return 2.5 miles back. Conversations may happen naturally\, or you can simply enjoy the silence and the environment around you. \nThis is not a workout or a structured program. It’s a space to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with yourself. \nCome as you are.

SUMMARY:Bodies and Souls
DESCRIPTION:“My concern is with humanity. I want to confront the viewer with life and with what we are doing to each other. I hope to awaken in the viewer a sense of compassion . . . without compassion there is nothing.”\n—Luis Cruz Azaceta \nBodies and Souls examines the liberatory power of figurative art. Though often treated as conservative in the second half of the 20th century\, artists used representational and realist methods to assert presence for those omitted from dominant narratives or harmfully depicted by those outside their communities. Realism and representation remain powerful means to show embodied human experience\, encompassing gender\, sexuality\, interpersonal relationships\, psychological states\, and connections to home. \nThese methods can help us imagine the world we want to live in. Representational art has been critical for artists who want to make themselves and their communities visible on their own terms. It provides the agency to see and be seen\, to show relationships\, pleasure\, and autonomy. Representing ourselves is a powerful means of celebrating our full humanity. \nThis is the throughline of an eclectic collection formed by Philadelphians Robert and Frances Coulborn Kohler. Bodies and Souls celebrates their devotion to artists and immense generosity towards PAFA. Featuring over 120 works given and promised to the museum\, the exhibition will examine prominent themes in the collection\, integrating artists who are often seen independently or as part of regional communities. \nBodies and Souls is presented concurrently with an exhibition of the same title featuring the Kohlers’ personal collection at Woodmere\, Charles Knox Smith Hall\, 9201 Germantown Ave. Bodies & Souls – Woodmere. \nFeatured Artwork: Rafael Ferrer (born 1933) El Bolero\, 1983–84. Oil on canvas; 60 × 72 in. © Rafael Ferrer\, courtesy of the artist \nThe exhibition will include works by Robert Arneson\, Luis Cruz Azaceta\, Joan Brown\, Roy DeForest\, Rafael Ferrer\, Viola Frey\, Gregory Gillespie\, Juan Gonzalez\, Red Grooms\, Anne Minich\, Gladys Nilsson\, Ed Paschke\, Christina Ramberg\, Winfred Rembert\, Tabitha Vevers\, John Wilde\, Didier William\, Karl Wirsum\, and many others.

SUMMARY:Kati Gegenheimer: We've Only Just Begun
DESCRIPTION:Rooted in painting but extending into architecture and social space\, the exhibition positions love not as a private or sentimental subject\, but as a serious aesthetic\, political\, and communal structure. \nTo reinaugurate the newly renovated Morris Gallery\, PAFA presents Kati Gegenheimer: We’ve Only Just Begun\, an immersive monographic exhibition exploring love–familial\, romantic\, or brotherly–at this moment of profound social division. Anchored by a symbol-laden painted musical score of the titular line from the Carpenters’ 1970 song\, the exhibition presents works surveying how love is a necessary choice to be cultivated\, measured\, sustained\, or dismissed\, over time. \nRooted in painting but extending into architecture and social space\, the exhibition positions love not as a private or sentimental subject\, but as a serious aesthetic\, political\, and communal structure. Gegenheimer’s markmaking\, symbolism\, and vibrant use of color reclaim emblems of care and tenderness (hearts\, love notes\, hinges\, calendars\, keyholes\, to-do lists)\, and ponder how love is practiced over time rather than experienced in a singular instance. In an era driven by speed\, extraction\, and instant gratification\, the exhibition insists on return and continuity. \nGegenheimer’s paintings are devoted expressions of love\, luck\, and time\, drawing inspiration from art history\, architecture\, popular culture\, and craft. Her works embrace the decorative and diaristic\, each an altar to a fleeting moment. Reliant on color\, tempo\, and composition\, each of her paintings is a sign\, symbol\, and record all at once.
