SUMMARY:Yolanda Wisher poetry reading at LaSalle Art Museum's African Art from the Permanent Collection
DESCRIPTION:Poetry reading by Germantown’s Yolanda Wisher\, Philadelphia’s Poet Laureate 2016- 2017 -a special program as part of the Exhibition On View: Approaching Abstraction: African American Art from the Permanent Collection\n\nThis spring exhibition\, Approaching Abstraction: African American Art from the Permanent Collection\, highlights La Salle University Art Museum’s holdings of works by African American artists. The exhibition features 24 fine art prints\, mixed media\, and paintings which incorporate abstract ideas\, forms\, and techniques. Many of the artworks selected for this exhibition are marked by the persistence of the figural\, approaching but not fully realizing abstraction. Some artists have intentionally combined both modes of artistic expression\, figuration and abstraction\, seeking a synthesis which retains the figure and its social implications in representing African American life. Other works suggest more symbolic connections with the past and the present\, and reflect the increasing multiculturalism of American society. \nThe exhibition features a total of 22 artworks by both local and national African American artists\, including Bernice Appelin-Williams\, Romare Bearden\, John Anansa Thomas Biggers\, Moe Brooker\, Barbara J. Bullock\, Barbara Chase-Riboud\, Nannette Acker Clark\, Willie Cole\, John E. Dowell Jr.\, Walter Edmonds\, Allan L. Edmunds\, Sam Gilliam\, Theodore A. Harris\, Martina Johnson-Allen\, Paul F. Keene Jr.\, Jacob Lawrence\, John Thomas Riddle Jr.\, Alison Saar\, Charles Robert Searles\, Alma Thomas\, Cheryl Warrick\, and Walter Williams. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Closing day: Shawn Theodore "Church of Broken Pieces" at AAMP
DESCRIPTION:Shawn Theodore: Church of Broken Pieces\nOn Display: February 2 – April 2\, 2017\n\n\n\nShawn Theodore’s Church of Broken Pieces is a photographic exploration of the psychic\, physical and technological translocation of black America. Theodore’s photos document the success of the movements toward plural black identities\, and free\, safe black digital spaces (such as Black Twitter) and futures – even as displacement/gentrification\, socioeconomic disparity\, and violence threaten to impinge progress. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nThe work captures and contextualizes emerging black Americans who are working to steady the firmament upon which their communities trod. These depictions weave together the corporeal elements of black neighborhoods in flux to create a visual language which conveys the spirit\, rich cultures\, histories\, and the present course of black life. \nTheodore’s approach to Church of Broken Pieces merges his conceptual photography style with influences of African American folk painting for his portraits\, and the rich African American tradition of quilt making without departing from his established street photography sensibilities to explore the remaining architecture of the gentrified black neighborhoods. The rich conversation between Theodore and his subjects weaves a narrative between the portraits to tell the story of a contemporary black America in flux; a group that sees themselves repeating patterns visited upon ancestors who lived through the defining eras of Post-Antebellum America\, Jim Crow\, The Great Migration\, the Civil Rights Movement\, the so-called ‘war on drugs’ to today’s call to understand that black lives\, in fact\, matter. \nCost: $14 Adults    $10 Seniors

SUMMARY:"Pack of Lies" at The Drama Group opens
DESCRIPTION:  \n“Pack of Lies” at The Drama Group \nHow well do you know your neighbors? What if your government asked to use your home as a surveillance post to spy on the people living across the street\, who were suspected of espionage? Would you believe the government officials? Would you betray your friends? Based on an actual Cold War incident\, the events depicted in Hugh Whitemore’s play “Pack of Lies” may be set in the 1960s\, but they are also as contemporary as today’s headlines. So\, who can you trust? And when does a lie become justified? \nSee The Drama Group’s production of “Pack of Lies” Friday and Saturday evenings\, March 17 to April 1\, at 8:00\, in Pilling Hall at The First United Methodist Church of Germantown\, 6001 Germantown Avenue\, between High Street and Walnut Lane. \nTickets are $15.00 at the door ($10.00 for students with ID). On opening night every ticket purchased will admit two people. There will be a post-show discussion following the performance on Friday\, March 24. \nThe Drama Group has been presenting theatre in Germantown since 1980.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: African American Art from the Permanent Collection at LaSalle University Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition On View: Approaching Abstraction: African American Art from the Permanent Collection\n  March 15 – June 15\, 2017\n\nThis spring exhibition\, Approaching Abstraction: African American Art from the Permanent Collection\, highlights La Salle University Art Museum’s holdings of works by African American artists. The exhibition features 24 fine art prints\, mixed media\, and paintings which incorporate abstract ideas\, forms\, and techniques. Many of the artworks selected for this exhibition are marked by the persistence of the figural\, approaching but not fully realizing abstraction. Some artists have intentionally combined both modes of artistic expression\, figuration and abstraction\, seeking a synthesis which retains the figure and its social implications in representing African American life. Other works suggest more symbolic connections with the past and the present\, and reflect the increasing multiculturalism of American society. \nThe exhibition features a total of 22 artworks by both local and national African American artists\, including Bernice Appelin-Williams\, Romare Bearden\, John Anansa Thomas Biggers\, Moe Brooker\, Barbara J. Bullock\, Barbara Chase-Riboud\, Nannette Acker Clark\, Willie Cole\, John E. Dowell Jr.\, Walter Edmonds\, Allan L. Edmunds\, Sam Gilliam\, Theodore A. Harris\, Martina Johnson-Allen\, Paul F. Keene Jr.\, Jacob Lawrence\, John Thomas Riddle Jr.\, Alison Saar\, Charles Robert Searles\, Alma Thomas\, Cheryl Warrick\, and Walter Williams. \nPrograms\nIn conjunction with this exhibition\, La Salle University Art Museum is presenting the following public programs: \nWednesday\, March 15\, 5-7 pm\, Opening Reception\nThursday\, April 6\, 12:30-2 pm\, Poetry reading by Yolanda Wisher\, Philadelphia’s Poet Laureate 2016- 2017

SUMMARY:"A Good Nights Sleep" re-opens at The Colored Girls Museum
DESCRIPTION:The Colored Girls Museum brings Urgent Care to The Colored Girl! \nTours begin at 1:l5.\nURGENT CARE FOR URGENT TIMES \nGreetings Family\,\nThe Colored Girls Museum has been on a Winter Recess since November. We are thrilled to be coming on line\, just in time to celebrate our one year anniversary and Womyns Herstory month with all of you.\nIn this iteration of A Good Nights Sleep\, The Museum takes on the character of an Urgent Care facility.\nEach of our rooms is curated to suggest a space one might find at a clinic\, emergency room\, or other healthcare facility. In this way\, we lift up current concerns about the state of healthcare as it impacts the Colored Girl.\nThis exhibit imagines a space where health and wellness centers feel like safe and positive spaces. At the same time\, we address the threat poised by the potential loss of healthcare by millions of Americans and offer an alternative conversation\, one in which the community is the healer. \nThe world’s first museum dedicated to “Celebrating the Ordinary Extraordinary Colored Girl ” reopens on March 5\, for Act Two of “A Good Nights Sleep.” This interactive exhibit takes visitors on an intimate tour exploring what it means to be a Colored Girl.\nThis Museum takes a close look at the inner lives of the “ordinary\, extraordinary” Colored Girl\, from the beauty of her dreams\, to her everyday ingenuity.\nA Good Night’s Sleep addresses the ways in which Black women often overlook the need for self-care while spending their days and nights working to create\, love\, and live. This year\, founder Vashti Dubois\, curator Michael Clemmons\, associate director Ian Friday\, and a multidisciplinary team of artists further explore self care by imagining the museum as a site for Urgent Care.\nRooms in the museum are curated to suggest spaces that are used for medical care\, modeling the journey from triage to the recovery room\, while asking critical questions about the American health care predicament. Healthcare professionals\, sleep specialists\, theologians\, social workers and artists will share their wisdom through a series of events and installations. The museum will also offer access to yoga classes\, massage sessions\, and other self-care modalities through the duration of the exhibit.\nNew exhibits include Chamber\, a mixed media installation conceived by Joy Ude and Petra Floyd\, which explores the migration of the colored girl through unique human sized baskets. Ude and Floyd reference West African coil baskets and craft traditions of the African Diaspora as stationary\, yet potentially mobile containers of bodies. \nOn March 5\, performance artist and educator Shavonn Norris will premiere a solo performance and house blessing to open the space.

SUMMARY:Julian Hartwell Trio at Imperfect Gallery

Shows will have a fun\, laid-back atmosphere\, and with their blend of original jazz\, funk\, groove\, hip-hop and more expect plenty of improv and the ‘imperfect’ stretching of musical bounds. \nNo cover\, but BYO beverages\, snacks\, and good vibes.
