UnRavelled By Jake Broder

Annenberg Center, 3680 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104-6219 · Annenberg Center, 3680 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104-6219

UnRavelled is a powerful synthesis of theatre, music, science and visual art. An East Coast premiere, this “revolutionary theatrical production” (Metro Silicon Valley) explores the complexities of the human mind through the parallel lives of scientist-turned-painter Anne Adams and composer Maurice Ravel, both affected by frontotemporal dementia. With a cast of 10 actors and musicians, the play follows Adams, a gifted biologist whose life unravels as she abandons her career, consumed by the desire to paint and an obsession with Ravel’s iconic Boléro. As Adams’ cognitive decline accelerates, her art flourishes, revealing a surprising link between neurological disease and creativity. “An exquisite example of epic theatre” (Colorado Boulevard), UnRavelled sheds new light on dementia with empathy and awe.

Tablao: Pasión y Arte Flamenco

Esperanza Arts Center 4261 North 5th Street Philadelphia, PA 19140 · Esperanza Arts Center 4261 North 5th Street Philadelphia, PA 19140

Pasión y Arte brings an intimate, tablao-style flamenco performance to Philadelphia audiences — seasoned flamenco spectators and newcomers alike — experience the intensity and passion of flamenco performed up close. ‘Tablao’ refers to the casual venues where flamencos showcased their dancing until the art was institutionalized in theatrical performances. Flamenco emerged as a unique art form in the 15th century: Spanish Gypsies (Roma) danced flamenco privately in their rural homes, and the dance gradually migrated from the countryside to the cities in the south of Spain, where Gypsy artists performed on the streets and in plazas. By the 1840s, nightclubs called “Cafes del Cante” began to host flamenco Tablaos, giving flamencos the opportunity to demonstrate their extraordinary skills at improvising movement within the confines of strict musical and rhythmic structures. The cafes were the first enterprises to pay flamenco dancers, singers, and musicians, and commercial flamenco was born.

DESIGN PHILADELPHIA FESTIVAL! What happens when hyperrealism, raw charcoal and explosive color collide on a single canvas? Join Morton Contemporary for ART BASH, a special Open House with Design Philadelphia Festival, celebrating art, design and the creative process—with internationally acclaimed Australian contemporary fine artist Ashvin Harrison painting live at the award-winning Philadelphia gallery, Morton Contemporary. Traveling from Australia to Philadelphia, Harrison will give guests the rare opportunity to step beyond the finished artwork and experience the making of it in real time. A self-taught artist and global social-media phenomenon with more than 2 million followers and subscribers across social media platforms, Harrison has developed a distinctive visual language combining the precision of photorealism with the spontaneity of abstraction. Working with charcoal dust, acrylic and oil, he builds meticulously rendered black-and-white imagery before introducing bursts and layers of brilliant color—creating a striking tension between precision and spontaneity, control and chance, stillness and movement. Throughout the event, guests can watch Harrison work up close and speak directly with him about his materials, techniques, creative decisions and unconventional journey as an artist. ART BASH is part open house, part live studio, part exhibition and part celebration—a chance to experience the process of making art and the possibilities of living and designing with it. Come for the art. Stay for the process. Raise a glass. And leave inspired!

Annenberg Center, 3680 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104-6219 · Annenberg Center, 3680 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104-6219

UnRavelled is a powerful synthesis of theatre, music, science and visual art. An East Coast premiere, this “revolutionary theatrical production” (Metro Silicon Valley) explores the complexities of the human mind through the parallel lives of scientist-turned-painter Anne Adams and composer Maurice Ravel, both affected by frontotemporal dementia. With a cast of 10 actors and musicians, the play follows Adams, a gifted biologist whose life unravels as she abandons her career, consumed by the desire to paint and an obsession with Ravel’s iconic Boléro. As Adams’ cognitive decline accelerates, her art flourishes, revealing a surprising link between neurological disease and creativity. “An exquisite example of epic theatre” (Colorado Boulevard), UnRavelled sheds new light on dementia with empathy and awe.

Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts 118-128 North Broad Street Philadelphia, PA 19102 · Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts 118-128 North Broad Street Philadelphia, PA 19102

One After Another: Series and Studies investigates the role of seriality in artistic practice across more than two centuries of American art. Drawn entirely from PAFA’s permanent collection, this exhibition brings together sketchbooks, preparatory studies, serial prints, and suites of drawings to reveal how artists develop ideas over time. Whether used for training, observation, material experimentation, or formal investigation, repetition emerges as a fundamental creative strategy. By presenting works in series rather than as isolated objects, the exhibition invites visitors into the often hidden processes through which artists revise and transform their ideas. Featured Artwork: Violet Oakley (1874-1961), Study for the Scenes from the Life of Christ window (never completed), early 20th century, Watercolor on paper.

Horizons: American Landscapes from Tradition to Tomorrow

Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts 118-128 North Broad Street Philadelphia, PA 19102 · Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts 118-128 North Broad Street Philadelphia, PA 19102

Join us for an illuminating conversation between curators from two of America's most distinguished art institutions as part of PAFA's landmark exhibition A Nation of Artists. Dr. Lea Stephenson, Kenneth R. Woodcock Curator of Historical American Art at PAFA, and Kerry Bickford, Associate Curator at the Brandywine Museum of Art, explore how American artists have depicted landscapes—from the Hudson River School's sublime vistas to the Brandywine tradition's intimate terrain, and contemporary artists reimagining these spaces today. This dialogue examines how landscape painting has shaped American cultural identity across centuries, reflecting changing relationships with the land, environment, and national mythology. Drawing on the rich collections of both institutions, our speakers will trace connections between historical masters and today's artists who continue to challenge and expand how we see the American landscape. As America celebrates its 250th anniversary and PAFA reopens its Historic Landmark Building with A Nation of Artists, this program offers a rare opportunity to explore one of American art's most enduring subjects through fresh eyes and urgent questions about place, belonging, and our shared horizons. This program is offered in a hybrid format—attend in person at PAFA or watch the live stream on YouTube. A link to the livestream will be emailed to all registrants by 11:30 AM on the day of the event. A recording of the program will be shared with registrants following the event.

Museum of the Philadelphian 454 E Girard Avenue Philadelphia, PA 19125 Fishtown · Museum of the Philadelphian 454 E Girard Avenue Philadelphia, PA 19125 Fishtown

Museum of the Philadelphian is a free pop-up museum at 454 E Girard Avenue that documents the city's distinctive mindset — the objects we've thrown, the players we've booed, the car we flipped, and the money we raised afterward to replace it. The Museum also catalogs the constitutional qualities Philadelphians share that make us some of the best people around. Open Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from September 25 through November 1, 2026, at 454 E Girard Avenue in Fishtown. Admission is free with timed entry. Reserve a slot at visitmotp.com.
