SUMMARY:Queering Wood Craft Meet-up: Philadelphia Pride Festival
DESCRIPTION:Queering Wood Craft Meet-up: Philadelphia Pride Festival | Sun. June 7\, 2026 | 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm ET | In-person\, Eakins Oval\, Benjamin Franklin Parkway\, Philadelphia\, PA\n\n*There is a $10.00 ticket fee to enter the festival.

Stop by\, say hi\, and be part of the conversation! \nArtist Scott Braun will be joining us for the day with his The Decency Project. The Project ranges from intimate dialog to group conversation to performative demonstrations and sometimes even collaborative performance. In all cases\, finding connection and community through craft and labor is at the core. What does it mean to be human? If I am human\, what does that mean I should do\, and not do? How do we define decency and shame? Come carve a spoon with me and find answers together. At least more questions. Or maybe just a way to feed each other. \nArtist Fable Maas will also be joining us to give a Marquetry demo on the Markers Stage at 2:30 pm. \nThe Museum will be hosting a hands-on craft table for all ages to participate. \nBe sure to catch both artists and get crafty at our table. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Umbra: A Live Score to the Novel in Woodcut
DESCRIPTION:Umbra: A Live Score to the Novel in Woodcut | Wed. April 29\, 2026 | 6:30 – 8:30 pm ET | In-person\nClick HERE for TICKETS \nFollowing the release of his second graphic novel\, Umbra\, this past fall\, artist Colin Pezzano presents both Umbra and his debut Soma in a unique multimedia experience—featuring animations by Ricky Christian set to live musical scores for each work. Join us for this unique experience of art\, music\, and horror. \nColin Pezzano will have books\, records\, and posters available for sale and to sign after the performance. \nDoors open at 6:30\, music at 7:00 pm. \nSoma is a graphic novel told in forty-five woodcuts carved during the winter of 2022. A mundane horror processing the physical body and navigating domestic spaces. The narrative investigates lived and imagined experience\, corporality\, and the passage of time. \nUmbra is a graphic novel composed of seventy woodcut prints that follows a dog walk through South Philadelphia in 2020. Wander the spaces where the familiar begins to empty out—where everyday environments shift toward estrangement\, absence\, or memorial. The series traces a cityscape of unfinished construction\, looming surveillance\, and abandoned artifacts emerging from shadow\, casting the mundane into unease. \nAnimations by Ricky Christian\nMusic Performed by The Publishing Co.\nColin Pezzano – guitar\nSam Gasparre – guitar/synth\nRoya Weidman – saxophone\nRicky Christian – bass\nAlex Stolte – drums \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:A Special Musical Performance by TR7 and Jamaaladeen Tacuma
DESCRIPTION:A Special Musical Performance by TR7 and Jamaaladeen Tacuma | Thurs. Jan 15\, 2026 | 6:30 – 8:00 pm ET | In-person\nRSVP \nJoin us for a special musical performance celebrating the current exhibition\, A Usable Past: Reflections of a Nation and Its Inheritance\, featuring artists Taji Ra’oof Nahl (TR7) and Jamaaladeen Tacuma. The performance will echo themes of cultural identities inherited through family or migration\, the building of new legacies within a heterogeneous society\, the fragility of democratic ideals\, and the failures of systems that promise unity\, liberty\, and self-governance. \nAbout the Artists \n  \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Taji Ra’oof Nahl (TR7) is a Philadelphia-based conceptual artist whose practice merges sculpture\, sound\, performance\, and experimental cinema into a site-responsive method he calls Field Trips to Staged Productions. A 2024 Guggenheim Fellow in Fine Arts\, his work explores civic infrastructures\, ecological intelligence\, Islamic cosmology\, and African American intellectual lineage. His ongoing Abstract Dynamics series—often realized as duo projects—extends this approach through live scoring\, moving-image presentation\, and spatial activation. TR7 is the founder of Ra’oof Atelier\, Channel TR7\, Adam Vocabulary Club\, and The Other Sounds of Philadelphia. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Few musicians leave their audiences with a feeling that they have truly witnessed something amazing. Artist/Producer/Performer/Arranger/Innovator AND Bassist—JAMAALADEEN TACUMA does just that. This native Philadelphian has always stretched the old mold of what a bassist is supposed to play and how. Tacuma has redefined his instrument’s artistic potential. In the mid 70’s\, his creatively free approach to the bass caught the eye and ear of the legendary saxophonist Ornette Coleman. Tacuma became a member of Coleman’s electric band\, Prime Time\, he toured with the group and played on some of Coleman’s historic recordings such as: “Dancing In Your Head”\, “Body Meta”\, and “Of Human Feelings”. As a soloist\, Tacuma continued to push the musical envelope with his debut album\, simply titled “Showstopper\,” in 1983. Several records followed\, some of which include: Renaissance Man (1984)\, Music World (1987) and JukeBox (1989)\, Cosmetic\, Boss of The Bass\, which confirmed his ability to flip between various musical genres. Even the critics have had high praise for Tacuma’s musicianship and artistry. One year he received the highest number of votes ever for an electric bassist in the “Talent Deserving Wider Recognition” category of the DownBeat critics’ poll. \n\nIn recent years\, Jamaaladeen has been gaining recognition from some of the United States most prestigious artist foundations. In 2011\, Jamaaladeen received the Pew Arts & Heritage Award\, the Marcus Garvey Foundation Award\, and the Uptown Theater Hall of Fame Award in 2014. Jamaaladeen has received composer’s residencies at the prestigious MacDowell Colony\, Headlands Center for the Arts\, and Civitella Rainier Italy\, where he composed a new project he will be presenting in 2015.

Join us for a unique evening at the Museum like never before. \nSpace is limited. RSVP is required to attend this event. \n \nAbout the Artists \nSam Gasparre\nSamuel Gasparre is a Philadelphia musician and craftsman who works with guitars\, computers\, wood\, electronics\, and voice. His music has spanned genres\, from jazz to punk rock to free improvisation and he has performed in both concert halls and basements.  He apprenticed as a luthier and has worked in stringed instrument repair and woodworking for over a decade. Combining his background in composition and fabrication\, Sam makes and repairs the equipment used while performing. He is currently playing in the band DeStructos as well as hosting a local film screening series Cinema Diabolique. \n\n\nColin Pezzano\nColin Pezzano\, born in 1992\, is a woodworker\, printmaker\, and craft artist based in South Philadelphia. His practice combines digital and hand processes to infuse humor\, pathos\, and memory into his chosen materials. By relying on woodworking processes\, he connects his actions and memories to the traditions of his predecessors. \nColin graduated from the University Of The Arts in 2014. Upon graduation\, he received The Faculty Choice Award and The Windgate Fellowship.  After graduation\, Pezzano was featured in Craft Forms (2014) and interviewed in an article with American Craft. In the Spring of 2015\, Pezzano had his first solo show\, “Contain You\,” at Bridgette Mayer Gallery. In 2018\, Colin had his second solo show\, “Still Life With Dead Game\,” at Allens Lane Art Center. In 2022\, he received The Windgate-Lamar Fellowship Award through The Center for Craft. \nIn conjunction with the exhibition “Home as Stage” at the Wharton Esherick Museum in the fall of 2022\, Colin released a graphic novel titled Soma\, told in 45 woodcuts. A “mundane horror\,” the narrative investigates lived and imagined experience\, corporality\, and the passage of time. \nDuring his career Pezzano has participated in group shows\, juried exhibitions and attended residencies in the USA and Sweden. He maintains his practice in his basement studio. \nThis event is free to the public. The Museum for Art in Wood interprets\, nurtures\, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art\, craft\, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it. A suggested donation of $5 per person enables us to provide programs and exhibitions throughout the year. \nDONATE \nQuestions?
