Banks may be private, profit-driven institutions—but the public has always shaped the risks they take and paid the price when they fail.
Private Finance, Public Power explores this uneasy partnership over two centuries of American history, from the wildcat banks of the early republic to the rise of federal deposit insurance and modern financial regulation.
Wharton professor Peter Conti-Brown and historian Sean Vanatta bring this story to life with colorful characters and surprising moments: rogues looting failed banks, con artists posing as government examiners, bribes paid in oyster dinners, and reformers struggling to build order out of chaos. Through repeated crises and improvisation, today’s complex banking oversight system emerged—flawed, strained, but largely functional.
In this talk, Wharton professor Peter Conti-Brown explores why this history matters for understanding the challenges facing U.S. banking today.

Community, as defined in the Oxford Dictionary, is “a feeling of fellowship with others, as
a result of sharing common attitudes and interests”. A sense of community can lead to
empowerment and foster change in one’s life. My intention with this installation is to
suggest and comment on the urgency in our world these days of people coming
together regardless of their physicality or ethnicity. I hope to inspire introspection and
unity as we move forward during this challenging global time.
These storefront exhibitions are viewable 24/7 from the outside.

This event offers a unique opportunity to gain insight into the work, creative process, and each artist’s perspective on what defines Black Beauty.
From Zindzi Harley, the curator:
“The exhibition resists singular narratives of Black identity, instead presenting a spectrum of aesthetic positions that challenge reduction, stereotype, and commodification. Collectively, these works affirm Black beauty as expansive, evolving, and authored from within.”

Ornamental Plants in Philadelphia Gardens in the Early 1700s
Before 1750, Philadelphia gardens were not just kitchen gardens, they also cultivated lots of ornamental plants, grown for their beauty, colors, scent, and to make nature prints as a form of botanical art. Many of these plants were imported from Europe, but some were native to the Pennsylvania region. There were gardens in Germantown and at Stenton (James Logan’s estate in north Philadelphia) that cultivated and celebrated vibrant ornamental plants like anemones, tulips, daffodils, roses, lilies, columbines, Polianthes tuberosa, violets, and African, French and European marigolds.
Join historian Miranda Mote for a lecture that tells a story of beautiful, ornamental plants in colonial Philadelphia gardens, before 1750.

Copland captured the American spirit in his music, so evocative of windswept prairies, mountain hollows, and the optimism and resilience idealistically attributed to the inheritors of the new world. Like Appalachian Spring, Billy the Kid, and Rodeo, his Third Symphony—the source of his Fanfare for the Common Man—summons that irrepressible spirit in a deeply satisfying listening experience.
Is there a composer more uniquely American than Aaron Copland? Conjuring up images of the fog-shrouded Blue Ridge and the sun-brittle prairie, celebrating the sweat of honest toil and the heroism of the everyday, he embodies the heart of the American ethos. No matter how many times you’ve heard the clarion call of his Fanfare for the Common Man, its soaring spirit summons pride. Get ready for goosebumps.
Conductor and composer Matthias Pintscher plays a dual role in this program, conducting his 2022 work Assonanza, written for the violinist Leila Josefowicz, who performs it here. Hear this “daring, probing, thinking, da…

This First Friday, we’re bringing together two distinct but connected bodies of work—photography by Allan Ali and a focused presentation of abstract works by EZV.
Allan Ali’s black-and-white photographs reflect on life as a series of paths—some shared, others walked alone. Many of these images were created in moments of solitude, where observation becomes sharper and the world feels both expansive and deeply personal. Rooted in memory and influenced by his family’s creative legacy, his work carries a quiet sense of connection across time.
In a separate gallery space, EZV’s abstract works explore the space between what we see and what we feel. Drawing from their environment, the work layers form, texture, and metaphor to translate lived experience into something more internal—where memory, identity, and emotion intersect.
Together, the exhibition moves between observation and interpretation—offering two ways of seeing the world, side by side.

City Winery Philadelphia Present Howie Day live on Saturday, May 2nd at 7:30pm.
Howie Day’s emotionally resonant lyrics and inventive melodies have earned him both critical praise and a legion of devoted fans. He is known for his energetic, heartfelt shows, where he connects with audiences through the strength of his songwriting and his quirky sense of humor. Day’s warm tenor voice “soars into fluttering, high registers, but also grates with real, pleading grit,” as one critic put it. A native of Bangor, Maine, Day began playing piano at age five and guitar at age 12. By 15, he was writing his own songs and performing across New England. Shortly after graduating high school, Day became a fixture at college coffeehouses across the U.S. He wrote, financed and released his first effort, Australia, which was named Best Debut Album at the 2001 Boston Music Awards. Day began experimenting with effects pedals and loop-sampling techniques as he performed, layering live percussion with vocal harmonies and guitar part…

Copland captured the American spirit in his music, so evocative of windswept prairies, mountain hollows, and the optimism and resilience idealistically attributed to the inheritors of the new world. Like Appalachian Spring, Billy the Kid, and Rodeo, his Third Symphony—the source of his Fanfare for the Common Man—summons that irrepressible spirit in a deeply satisfying listening experience.
Is there a composer more uniquely American than Aaron Copland? Conjuring up images of the fog-shrouded Blue Ridge and the sun-brittle prairie, celebrating the sweat of honest toil and the heroism of the everyday, he embodies the heart of the American ethos. No matter how many times you’ve heard the clarion call of his Fanfare for the Common Man, its soaring spirit summons pride. Get ready for goosebumps.
Conductor and composer Matthias Pintscher plays a dual role in this program, conducting his 2022 work Assonanza, written for the violinist Leila Josefowicz, who performs it here. Hear this “daring, probing, thinking, da…

In this “little gem of international theatre,” (Winnipeg Free Press) griots, or West African storytellers, share the tale of a water-stealing sun and an ancient baobab tree that produces an unexpected gift: a baby who is heralded to save the region from prolonged drought. Featuring traditional music from Mali and Senegal, puppets large and small, one naughty monkey and a witch with an itch to dance, Baobab is a percussion-filled fable about a young boy’s heroic quest to save his village. Making its Philadelphia debut, Théâtre Motus’ “Baobab is the next best thing to The Lion King, only smaller-scale and far better tailored (at 55 minutes) to young attention spans.” (Montreal Gazette).

Disability in Late 18th-Century London
A mezzotint in Winterthur’s collection called Mirth and Friendship shows a perfectly normal scene in mid-18th-century London—a group of men drinking in a tavern. Perfectly normal, that is, except that one of the men is seven and a half feet tall. His name was Edward Bamford, and he was a hatter and family man who became a minor celebrity after his death in 1768. Join Esme Krohn, Fellow, Winterthur Program in American Material Culture as she explores how this print shows the complicated and often contradictory realities of being disabled in 18th-century England.

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.

Portraying the English Country House: Travel and Transmission across the Atlantic

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.
The Research at Winterthur series, presented by the Winterthur Library and the Research Fellowship Program, showcases new projects and publications that tap into our rich collections and resources, unveiling innovative perspectives for exploring the fascinating stories that objects can tell about people and our shared past.

Based on the best-selling novel by Stephen King, Carrie: The Musical takes you through a coming of age journey like no other.
