SUMMARY:Art as Medicine: The Clare Feldman Poliakoff Inaugural Lecture
DESCRIPTION:How does art heal? Can creativity transform healthcare? Join us for the inaugural Clare Feldman Poliakoff Lecture\, where medicine meets artistic expression in a groundbreaking conversation about accessibility\, empathy\, and the power of art to restore and inspire. \nIranian-American cardiologist and visual artist Dr. Nazanin Moghbeli delivers the keynote address\, drawing on her unique practice that transforms EKGs and diagnostic imagery into stunning works bridging Persian calligraphy and modern medicine. As Jefferson Health’s Artist-in-Residence\, Dr. Moghbeli pioneers the use of art to cultivate empathy among healthcare providers and prevent burnout—proving that creativity is not merely decorative\, but essential to healing. \nFollowing the keynote\, a distinguished panel explores how art creates inclusive\, therapeutic experiences across healthcare and community settings. Panelists include Dr. Moghbeli\, Megan Voeller (Director of Humanities at Thomas Jefferson University)\, and Julie Nolan (Recreation Therapy and Creative Arts Therapy\, Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehabilitation Hospital). \nThis inaugural event honors the Clare Feldman Poliakoff Endowment’s mission to celebrate art’s transformative power—launching on the public opening day of A Nation of Artists\, our landmark exhibition marking America’s 250th anniversary.

SUMMARY:Philly Unwrapped Community Waste Reduction Engagement Session
DESCRIPTION:Philly Unwrapped\, come let your voice be heard about waste reduction and reuse in Philadelphia! \nPhiladelphia spends millions every year managing waste. Almost nothing prevents it. At the same time\, food and beverage businesses are required to purchase single-use packaging that increases operating costs and contributes to pollution that disproportionately impacts Black and Brown communities where waste is processed and incinerated. \nThere may be a better\, less wasteful way — and it saves money and protects public health. \nPhilly Unwrapped is bringing together restaurant owners\, cafés\, caterers\, corner stores\, food trucks\, event venues\, hospitality operators\, community leaders\, and public officials to explore practical waste prevention strategies that work in Philadelphia. \nWhat This Is\nJoin ECHO Systems\, The Sustainable Business Network of Greater Philadelphia\, Rethink Disposable’s Clean Water Fund and Trash Academy in this informative and engaging community event. \nLearn How to Use the Philly Unwrapped Community Waste Reduction Toolkit — a free\, practical resource designed specifically for local food-sector businesses.\nCase studies show that businesses implementing reuse and waste prevention strategies save between $3\,000–$22\,000 annually\, while reducing trash volume\, improving operational efficiency\, and strengthening customer loyalty. Attendees will be able to join a funding consortium to demonstrate business need and interest in supporting a just transition toward reuse and waste prevention.\nThis event includes a community listening session. We want to hear directly from residents and business owners about concerns\, barriers\, and opportunities as we work to attract funding and build a just transition. \nWho Should Attend \nRestaurant\, café\, and food truck owners\nCaterers and event operators\nCorner store and grocery operators\nHospitality managers\nCommunity leaders and residents\nInstitutions and neighborhood organizations\nWe warmly invite City Council members\, local representatives\, community development corporations\, business improvement districts\, and neighborhood organizations to join this conversation. Advancing waste prevention presents an opportunity to strengthen fiscal stewardship\, support local businesses\, and protect public health — and we look forward to working together to explore what that can look like for Philadelphia. \nWhat You’ll Walk Away With\nClear\, implementable cost-saving strategies\nAccess to the free Philly-specific Toolkit\nEarly information about upcoming grant opportunities and how to participate in the funding consortium\nConnections to a growing network of local businesses and partners\nAn opportunity to help shape future funding and policy priorities\nThis is not a lecture. It’s a practical working session focused on real-world solutions. \nEvent Details \nLocation: PHMC — 4601 Market Street\, Philadelphia\, PA \nTransportation: Free onsite parking available at 47th & Haverford (see attached map) Also walking distance from the L \nTime: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM- arrive promptly \nOther Details: Light fare + coffee provided\nCost: Free — registration required\nFunding provided by EPA Region 3’s Thriving Communities – Green & Healthy Homes Initiative.\nWith support from the Story of stuff project and a generous match from Jeffery A Miller catering\nCoffee provided by High Point Cafe. \nShow less\nPHMC
