Walk-ups are Welcome

Join us for First Friday and the opening for BA Harrington: Suite Américaine. Artist  BA Harrington  brings inherited craft knowledge into contemporary feminist practice. Revisiting historic American furniture typologies designed to accommodate women during the Early American and colonial periods (c. 1620–1700s), Harrington constructs and animates these forms while opening them physically and conceptually, revealing interiors filled with textiles, quilts, and collaborative interventions.

Suite Américane is a part of Radical Americana, a citywide initiative organized by The Clay Studio that unites Philadelphia’s leading arts and cultural Institutions through a series of exhibitions showcasing research-driven work by contemporary artists.

Suite Américaine is generously supported by the Cambium Giving Society of the Museum for Art in Wood, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, The Bresler Foundation, Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, Philadelphia Cultural Fund, the William Penn Foundation, and Windgate Foundation.
