An Evening with NYT Best Selling Author Marie Benedict Discussing "Daughter of Egypt"
New York Times best-selling author Marie Benedict will visit Philadelphia on May 6, 2026, during a national book tour promoting her latest novel, Daughter of Egypt, and to advocate for education opportunities for young women and to support the BLOCS scholarship program ahead of the 25th anniversary of the Education Income Tax Credit (EITC) program.
Benedict, a powerful voice in historical fiction who champions underrepresented women, returns with a tale of a young woman who unearths the truth about the forgotten Pharaoh Hatshepsut, whose reign was bold, visionary — and nearly erased from history.
The event, hosted by BLOCS and featuring a discussion and Q&A led by BLOCS Development Manager Amy Impellizzeri, invites young women from Philadelphia schools to join the conversation.

In the summer of 2025, Dr. Kearis explored 26 historic houses and gardens—from the dramatic Arundel Castle and the opulent Chatsworth to the storied halls of Boughton House, Kedleston Hall, Hardwick Hall, and Petworth House.
This talk invites you behind the scenes of the Attingham experience, where private tours, expert lectures, and hands-on workshops bring centuries of design and collecting to life. Dr. Kearis will share how these encounters are shaping her curatorial vision at Winterthur and will highlight surprising connections between British and American art: the impact of the European Grand Tour, the role of women as patrons and collectors, and the power of prints and publications to carry the style of…

A Sensible and Human Bohemia: The Utopian Moment in American Arts and Crafts, 1895–1903
At the turn of the 19th century across America, intentional communities of artists in Rose Valley, Byrdcliffe, and Roycroft were havens for handcraft, worker dignity, and the promotion of beautiful art for the masses, and were works of art in themselves—total sensory installations of the Arts and Crafts Movement—that stood as model community-workshops, suggesting that there could be an alternative to brutal industrialization. The talk is presented by Thomas A. Guiler, Director of Museum Affairs, Oneida Community House.

Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Avery fell in love with music playing piano at seven years old.

Carlton analyzes love, expectations, and compassion from all angles on "Love Is An Art"
Vanessa Carlton continues to expand creatively as an artist as seen in her upcoming seventh studio album Veils produced by Dave Fridmann (MGMT, Flaming Lips) to be released early 2026. Fridmann also produced her last album Love is An Art (2020).
“The album will of course mean different things to different people and that is what excites me. I had to embrace my own contradictions in order to see what the world of the album was going to feel and sound like,” says Carlton. “I love the metaphor of wearing a veil. There are so many layers to all of us. When I look back on the four year process, I see that I was gradually becoming fascinated with stoicism.”
Through her songs, Vanessa invites listeners to explore the Veils in their own lives. Which Veil are you lifting? Which Veil are you putting on?
“Our veils tell a story, when we choose to take one off or when we put one on…it is such a personal act,” says Carlton.

Who was Charles Willson Peale?
Step into Peale's extraordinary world--painter, naturalist, museum founder, and patriarch of America's most influential artistic dynasty--with Dr. Wendy Bellion, Sewell C. Biggs Chair in American Art History at the University of Delaware, for an illuminating exploration of the Peale family's outsized impact on American art and culture.
At the heart of this talk is Peale's iconic self-portrait The Artist in His Museum (1822)—a masterwork that captures Peale lifting a curtain to reveal his Philadelphia Museum's natural history wonders, inviting viewers into a space where art, science, and civic education converge. But the Peale story doesn't end with Charles Willson. His children—Raphaelle, Rembrandt, Rubens, Titian, and more—carried forward his artistic legacy, each making distinct contributions to American portraiture, still life, and museum culture.
A Nation of Artists features at least nine works by Peale family members, and PAFA's reinstalled galleries spotlight their endu…

Original music by Michael Schachter

Creator and opera revolutionary Davóne Tines brings Langston Hughes’ poem “The Black Clown” to musical life in a vaudevillian rendering of this masterpiece. Fusing gospel, opera, jazz, and spirituals into a searing night of theatrical brilliance, The Black Clown embodies the evolving, divided soul of Black America and animates a Black man’s resilience against a legacy of oppression. The Black Clown has been hailed as “pure poetry” by The Boston Globe, and The New York Times lauds “this rich, seamless production melds the past and present of African-American history into an electrifyingly ambivalent whole.” Tines makes his Opera Philadelphia debut alongside an ensemble of 12 performers in this…

Creator and opera revolutionary Davóne Tines brings Langston Hughes’ poem “The Black Clown” to musical life in a vaudevillian rendering of this masterpiece. Fusing gospel, opera, jazz, and spirituals into a searing night of theatrical brilliance, The Black Clown embodies the evolving, divided soul of Black America and animates a Black man’s resilience against a legacy of oppression. The Black Clown has been hailed as “pure poetry” by The Boston Globe, and The New York Times lauds “this rich, seamless production melds the past and present of African-American history into an electrifyingly ambivalent whole.” Tines makes his Opera Philadelphia debut alongside an ensemble of 12 performers in this genre-bending, visually arresting piece, juxtaposing dazzling cathartic performances with Hughes’ enduring work.
All tickets are Pick Your Price, starting at $11. Any amount above $11 helps support other operagoers and the work Opera Philadelphia presents on stage.

8th Annual Nowak Lecture: Organizing DNA: How Neighborhood‑Level Power Drives Today’s Movements
Jeremy Nowak began his career as a community organizer, known for his ability to build power at the neighborhood and block level to achieve larger-scale change. His work was rooted in deep listening, relationship‑building, and the belief that ordinary people could transform their communities when given the tools to act. The practices he championed continue to shape organizers and campaigns today.
A recent New Yorker article explored the effectiveness of creating broad-based coalitions of independent, and often pluralistic units to drive change. Hyper local organizing allows for numerous leaders to emerge, build networks, and train others — an approach that is both energizing and accessible.
Today’s immigrant justice and community protection efforts draw on the same organizing DNA that Jeremy helped cultivate: local leadership, community ownership, and collective action rooted in trust. We’ve seen news coverage of…

Come dance the cachucha and join The Savoy Company in celebrating our 125th anniversary year with Gilbert & Sullivan's uplifting operetta, The Gondoliers! Set in Venice and the fictional kingdom of Barataria, the plot centers on two gondoliers, Marco and Giuseppe, who discover that one of them is the rightful king but cannot determine which. They agree to rule jointly until the true monarch can be identified, allowing Gilbert to satirize monarchy, aristocracy, and British political institutions. The show is especially noted for its unusually warm tone and emphasis on equality, reflecting contemporary late-Victorian debates about class and governance.
Through its witty dialogue, lively ensemble numbers, and playful mockery of aristocracy and political systems, the operetta celebrates equality while poking fun at rigid class distinctions and the pretensions of monarchy.
Premiered in 1889, The Gondoliers is the twelfth collaboration between librettist W.S. Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan. The show ran for…

Creator and opera revolutionary Davóne Tines brings Langston Hughes’ poem “The Black Clown” to musical life in a vaudevillian rendering of this masterpiece. Fusing gospel, opera, jazz, and spirituals into a searing night of theatrical brilliance, The Black Clown embodies the evolving, divided soul of Black America and animates a Black man’s resilience against a legacy of oppression. The Black Clown has been hailed as “pure poetry” by The Boston Globe, and The New York Times lauds “this rich, seamless production melds the past and present of African-American history into an electrifyingly ambivalent whole.” Tines makes his Opera Philadelphia debut alongside an ensemble of 12 performers in this genre-bending, visually arresting piece, juxtaposing dazzling cathartic performances with Hughes’ enduring work.
