Reimagined Street Scenes
This installation features six illuminated art panels hand crafted by Lisa Marie Patzer Studios. The visuals are inspired from photographic 35mm slides shot by Ben Kabakow, a NYC postal worker and photographer. Kabakow travelled the world throughout the mid-1900's, capturing images of urban features such as buildings, cars, signs, and people. With color, pattern, and a retro-graphic design, Lisa Marie reimagines scenes from Ben's travels with a surreal and whimsical aesthetic.
Lisa Marie Patzer is a digital media artist, designer, and entrepreneur creating site-specific art that integrates light, pattern, historic imagery, and vibrant color. In recognition of her exceptional contributions to the field, she received the prestigious Pew Fellowship in the Arts in 2019. The following year, she was awarded the Sachs Arts and Innovation grant from the University of Pennsylvania. In 2022, Lisa Marie founded her company Lisa Marie Patzer Studio, where she works with private clients, interior designers, and individua…

Through historical accounts, guided tours, and hands-on activities, learn how people at Eastern State Penitentiary marked holidays like Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Year’s Day—finding moments of light, connection, and meaning within the confines of prison life. These stories reflect not only the traditions of the time, but also the deep human need for hope and community, even in the harshest conditions.
The program also invites reflection on the experiences of incarcerated people today. Across the U.S. people in prisons and jails continue to observe holidays—sometimes with support, often with significant restrictions.
Shared Light: Winter Celebrations at Eastern State offers an opportunity to consider the lasting impact of incarceration on people, families, and communities during a season traditionally centered around togetherness. All programs included with standard admission.

This installation features six illuminated art panels hand crafted by Lisa Marie Patzer Studios. The visuals are inspired from photographic 35mm slides shot by Ben Kabakow, a NYC postal worker and photographer. Kabakow travelled the world throughout the mid-1900's, capturing images of urban features such as buildings, cars, signs, and people. With color, pattern, and a retro-graphic design, Lisa Marie reimagines scenes from Ben's travels with a surreal and whimsical aesthetic.
Lisa Marie Patzer is a digital media artist, designer, and entrepreneur creating site-specific art that integrates light, pattern, historic imagery, and vibrant color. In recognition of her exceptional contributions to the field, she received the prestigious Pew Fellowship in the Arts in 2019.

Through historical accounts, guided tours, and hands-on activities, learn how people at Eastern State Penitentiary marked holidays like Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Year’s Day—finding moments of light, connection, and meaning within the confines of prison life. These stories reflect not only the traditions of the time, but also the deep human need for hope and community, even in the harshest conditions.
The program also invites reflection on the experiences of incarcerated people today. Across the U.S. people in prisons and jails continue to observe holidays—sometimes with support, often with significant restrictions.
Shared Light: Winter Celebrations at Eastern State offers an opportunity to consider the lasting impact of incarceration on people, families, and communities during a season traditionally centered around togetherness. All programs included with standard admission.

Through historical accounts, guided tours, and hands-on activities, learn how people at Eastern State Penitentiary marked holidays like Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Year’s Day—finding moments of light, connection, and meaning within the confines of prison life. These stories reflect not only the traditions of the time, but also the deep human need for hope and community, even in the harshest conditions.
The program also invites reflection on the experiences of incarcerated people today. Across the U.S. people in prisons and jails continue to observe holidays—sometimes with support, often with significant restrictions.
Shared Light: Winter Celebrations at Eastern State offers an opportunity to consider the lasting impact of incarceration on people, families, and communities during a season traditionally centered around togetherness. All programs included with standard admission.

This First Friday, stop into the Museum for Art in Wood and experience its current exhibitions. On view in the main gallery, A Usable Past: Reflections on a Nation and Its Inheritance, brings together sculpture by twelve artists who reckon with America’s layered histories. A powerful exhibition, drawing on the metaphorical power inherent in the material of wood, these artists translate inheritance into form, giving “shape and substance to national identity.” In addition, on view in the Museums Research Library is the collection-themed exhibition American Graffiti: Painting, Dyeing, and Surface Design in Wood, which follows the rebellious, experimental, and often quirky spirit of artists who dare to obscure the unadulterated beauty of wood grain.
While visitors are at the Museum, explore its permanent collection featuring over 1,400 objects and shop the Museum Store for unique handmade objects, jewelry, artworks, and books.

“How can we live when we are driven by love instead of fear?” This autobiographical solo work, a meditation on identity and presence, is the story of a suburban girl named Shireen and a Brooklyn man named Deen, and the things we do to be together. Taking us on their epic journey of transition with a myriad cast of characters, this one-person show explores the courage it takes for us to live authentically when we do not fit society, religion, or familial expectations of gender. This compassionate coming-of-self-story is anchored deeply in humanity and told with heart and humor.

Join Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens (PMG) for Everything But the Kitchen Sink Mosaic Workshop, a two-hour workshop led by the PMG education team exploring techniques used by PMG creator Isaiah Zagar. Known for his unique and, some say, liberating method for creating mosaics, participants will examine Zagar murals, prepare and create materials to make their own mosaic.
Guests will learn how to cut glass, break tile, mix grout, and lay out a small 9″ x 9″ mosaic to take home. The program empowers participants with mosaic-making skills and inspiration for future endeavors. The workshop is available for participants ages 12+, but all participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Embark on a musical odyssey with renowned Finnish conductor Osmo Vänskä. The evening begins with Missy Mazzoli’s Sinfonia (for Orbiting Spheres), a swirling, celestial work inspired by planetary motion and the roiling drone of the medieval stringed instrument, the hurdy-gurdy. Henry Dorn’s powerful Transitions follows, a deeply personal tone poem reflecting on loss, transformation, and resilience.
The program features the world premiere of a new concerto for woodwinds and orchestra by David Serkin Ludwig, performed by Grammy-winning quintet and Curtis faculty Imani Winds. The concert concludes with Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra, a virtuosic showcase that transforms each section of the ensemble into dazzling soloists. Charting a bold musical journey across five movements—this masterwork blends folk-inspired melodies, modernist harmonies, and brilliant orchestration, making it one of the most beloved orchestral pieces of the 20th century.

Intrepid early music ensemble Ruckus and boundary-pushing singer Davóne Tines deliver the bite of America’s earliest revolutionary music, time-traveling through four centuries of reimagined songs, hymns and dance tunes. “The world’s only period instrument rock band,” (San Francisco Chronicle) Ruckus is known for its visceral approach, fusing a Baroque band’s questing, creative spirit with the grit, groove and jangle of American roots music. A Penn Live Arts debut with bass-baritone Tines, a "singer of immense power and fervor," (Los Angeles Times) this concert ponders the fragile American experiment, asking how we stand up against wrongdoing while still coming together as a country.

A sharp, self-aware standup set where comedy meets the chaos of being human.
Artful Impact: Benefiting Chester County Futures
When comedian Glen Tickle made a list of ways to try to be better at comedy, he realized the list was a combination of personality flaws, bad habits, and neurodiversity. If Glen is going to become a better comedian, he’ll have to first become a better person. Which seems hard, actually. That list and the ways he has tried to address it have shaped his current hour of standup in a way he wasn’t expecting, but here we are.

They first met in the late 1960s amidst the folk revival, and since then, Loudon Wainwright III and Chris Smither have each made an indelible mark on the contemporary singer-songwriter scene. With influences from folk, country, jazz and rock, Wainwright’s music is rich, candid and witty, as he “wrings more human truth out of his contradiction than any other songwriter of his generation.” Smither’s folk and blues sound is layered over the ever-present backbeat of his tapping feet, taking “the blues in a direction entirely his own: stoic existential ruminations sung in a pained, weathered moan and set to quietly virtuosic guitar.” Don’t miss this Penn Live Arts debut of two music icons. (The New York Times).
