SUMMARY:Lights Out Philly
DESCRIPTION:Why Lights Out\n\n\nEach year\, tens of million birds pass through Philadelphia during the spring and fall migration. Unfortunately\, many are killed when they fly into buildings\, confused by artificial lights at night or by reflective or transparent glass surfaces. Artificial lights at night can attract birds migrating at night to buildings and ultimately cause them to collide with other parts of the buildings associated with the lights. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is Lights Out\n\n\nLights Out is a voluntary program that involves turning off and/or blocking as many external and internal building lights as possible at night\, when bird migration is occurring during the spring and fall. \n\nFAQs for Property Managers\n\n\n\n\nFrequently Asked Questions\n\n\nWhat is Lights Out? What is involved in the program? How do I participate? Learn more through our FAQs. \n\nGeneral FAQs\n\nLights Out Philly Fact Sheet\n\n\nDownload the fact sheet and learn more about “Lights Out Philly”\, scheduled for April 1- May 31 and August 15 – November 15 this year. Turn off lights from midnight to 6am and help save birds and money. \n\nLights Out Philly Fact Sheet\n\nParticipate in Lights Out Philly\n\n\nWhether you are a building owner\, tenant\, business\, or resident\, you can join us in helping to prevent night-time bird collisions during the months many are migrating. Sign up to participate in “Lights Out Philly”! \n\nSign Up Here\n\n\n\n\nPartners\n\n\nA Bird Safe Philly program\, Lights Out Philly is the result of a collaborative effort led by the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University\, Delaware Valley Ornithological Club\, Audubon Mid-Atlantic\, Valley Forge Audubon Society and Liberty Bird Alliance. In addition to the City of Philadelphia’s Office of Sustainability\, the Bird Safe Philly initiative is endorsed by the Building Owners and Managers Association Philadelphia\, the Building Industry Association of Philadelphia\, and PECO.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Tours: Bodies & Souls
DESCRIPTION:The Bodies and Souls tour explores the Kohler Collection’s eclectic and deeply human approach to figurative art\, following works collected by Philadelphia‑based collectors Robert and Frances Coulborn Kohler. Focusing on art made primarily in the second half of the twentieth century\, the tour examines how artists have used realism and representation as liberating tools to explore embodied experience\, including gender\, sexuality\, interpersonal relationships\, psychological states\, and connections to home and community. \nBeginning in the 1980s\, the Kohlers committed themselves to collecting works by living artists who employed representational and realist methodologies at a time when figuration was often dismissed as conservative. Bodies and Souls challenges that assumption\, demonstrating how these artists used figuration to claim visibility\, agency\, and autonomy on their own terms. Featuring more than 120 works given and promised to PAFA\, the exhibition places artists from diverse communities and geographic regions into dialogue\, celebrating the power of representation to affirm kinship\, pleasure\, resilience\, and the fullness of human experience—while honoring the Kohlers’ extraordinary generosity and long‑standing devotion to artists. \nTickets Include: \nAll day museum admission\n20% off food & drinks at the PAFA Museum Store \nContent Warning: Bodies & Souls contains mature subject matter. Recommended for adult audiences; parental discretion is advised.
