Onions and Gumbo: An Art Program for Young People Ages 7-12
Presented by Steel City Coffeehouse at Steel City Coffeehouse
We’d like to think of this art program as an onion – enabling you to shed your boundaries, fears, doubts, etc. to get to the inner core of who you are as a person exploring art.
After living in the south, Erin Donnelly and Adrienne Hart, the creators of the program, have grown quite accustomed to gumbo. Gumbo is a traditional southern meal, originating in the south using whatever ingredients were easily available. This ‘ingredient diversity’ means that gumbo varies from state to state, town to town and household to household. It is ever-changing and it is a constant melting pot of many families. We hope to use this metaphor in our art sessions, constantly working with community members and their children to create an art-friendly environment and teach one another how to give and take from the community around us.

Andy Warhol Exhibition
Presented by Reading Public Museum at Reading Public Museum
More than 60 pop prints and four paintings are the focus of an exciting exhibition at the Reading Public Museum, The Prints of Andy Warhol, on view from March 3 through June 17, 2012. Iconic works by one of the leading figures in twentieth century art including Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy, Mao Tse-Tung, Mick Jagger, Ronald Reagan, and Judy Garland, along with the artist’s famous Soup Cans and Camouflage prints. The exhibition provides an outstanding overview of Warhol’s career as a printmaker. The photographic silk screens date from the early 1960s to the late 1980s.
In addition to the prints and paintings, this special “expanded” exhibition will feature two more engaging aspects of Warhol’s career — in one gallery, an installation of “Silver Clouds,” which recreates a 1966 exhibition that the artist mounted at the Leo Castilli Gallery in New York City consisting of large, free-floating Mylar® pillow-shaped balloons, and in another, a continuous screening of Warhol’s famous “Screen Tests.” Some of these highlight well-known figures such as Dennis Hopper, Edie Sedgwick, Lou Reed, Allen Ginsberg, Salvador Dali, and Marcel Duchamp.
There will be a Members-Only Opening Reception on Friday, March 2, from 5:30 until 7:30 p.m. ($15 admission). Light hors d’oeuvres and refreshments will be served, and will include a Curator’s Top Five Talk in the galleries.
03/03/12 - 06/17/12
Admission to The Museum is $8 for adults (18-64), $5 children/seniors/students (w/ID) and free to Members and children three years old and younger.

Soft Village: Studio Makkink & Bey
Presented by Fabric Workshop and Museum at Fabric Workshop and Museum
Soft Village: Studio Makkink & Bey
On view from February 3rd-Late Spring 2012
Opening Reception and Artist Talk:
Friday, February 3rd, 6-8 pm
Artist Talk by designer Jurgen Bey begins at 6:30 pm
The Fabric Workshop and Museum (FWM) is pleased to present an exhibition by the Dutch design collaborative Studio Makkink & Bey which is led by architect Rianne Makkink (b. 1964) and designer Jurgen Bey (b. 1965)—one of the first Droog Design collaborators. Soft Village: Studio Makkink & Bey features recent, insightful projects by this Studio such as: “WashHouse” (2010-11), “Soft News” (2009), “Cleaning Beauty Locker” (2007), “Dust Cabinet” (2005), and “Vacuum Cleaner Chair” (2004). Taking inspiration from The Fabric Workshop and Museum’s mission and permanent collection, Studio Makkink & Bey’s FWM exhibition interweaves the soft, ever-changing features of textiles and fashion—as well as the industries that make them—within the often rigid look and function of today’s cities. Through Makkink & Bey’s installed, fictive, city-like landscape of sculptural work and decorative objects, they imagine ways to incorporate community-wide change t hrough a more pliable form of urban planning, one that utilizes a soft method of shaping the world around us. As a result, Soft Village will promote a different approach to sustainable design, highlighting components that are flexible, impermanent, nomadic, and that can be altered easily according to community need.

Capitalism by Gaslight:
Presented by Library Company of Philadelphia
Drawing on books, pamphlets, newspapers, magazines, prints, photographs, and ephemera in the Library Company's collection, guest curator Wendy Woloson explores underground urban commerce in the 19th century in our upcoming exhibition "Capitalism by Gaslight: The Shadow Economies of 19th-Century America."
The exhibition focuses on how many Americans earned their livings outside the spheres of wholesale and retail commerce, conducting economic transactions in illicit and semi-legal ways. From pick-pocketing to gambling, counterfeiting to prostitution, "Capitalism by Gaslight" describes the myriad ways people participated in an earlier, shadowy realm of commerce that required a surprising degree of creativity, cunning, and financial acumen.

Imagine Africa with the Penn Museum
Presented by University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology at University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (Penn Museum)
How do you imagine Africa? Do you see it as the home of powerful nations? Perhaps you think of intricately carved masks or fine art. Maybe you’re interested in the peoples living in Africa today. Imagine Africa with the Penn Museum is a 12-month community engagement project investigating your perspectives. Drawing upon its extraordinary African collection, the museum presents more than 50 objects framed around eight broad topics including Beauty, Power and the Divine. Text and interactive elements offer opportunities for more in-depth exploration. Through a variety of methods, visitors are asked to provide feedback on the objects and content they see, and to discuss what would make an engaging exhibition—from their point of view. All feedback will be collected as the museum plans a future re-installation of its African collection informed by both academic and community perspectives. Imagine Africa is made possible with funding from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through the Heritage Philadelphia Program, and the PoGo Family Foundation.

Wind & Weather Installation by Zoë Cohen
Presented by Crane Arts Building at Crane Arts Building
InLiquid presents Wind & Weather, a drawing installation by artist Zoë Cohen in the Hall at the Crane Arts Building. This series of wall drawings is intended to present an alternative view of powerful natural phenomena. We could never prevent these ancient forces - nor can we ever protect every human endeavor from our planet’s weather - but we can accept the impact that the natural world has on our lives, and create new ways for human societies to thrive in balance with our planet. Appreciation of the beauty of nature, and of the power of these four phenomena, will necessarily be part of these new solutions.
There will be an opening reception for the artist on Second Thursday, November 11, 2010 from 6 to 9 pm, and an additional reception on December 9, 2010 from 6 to 9pm.
