SUMMARY:First Friday and Opening for BA Harrington: Suite Américaine
DESCRIPTION:First Friday and Opening for BA Harrington: Suite Américaine | Fri. April 3\, 2026 | 5:00 – 8:00 pm ET | In-person\nWalk-ups are Welcome \nJoin 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. \nSuite Américaine 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. \nSuite 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.

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk with BA Harrington and Viola Bordon
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Talk with BA Harrington and Viola Bordon | Sat. April 4\, 2026 | 11:00 am – 12:00 pm ET | In-person\nClick HERE to RSVP \nJoin us for a gallery talk with artists BA Harrington and Viola Bordon. These two exhibitions\, Viola Bordon: Muliebrity and BA Harington: Suite Américaine\, are a part of Radical Americana\, a series of exhibitions organized by The Clay Studio and a consortium of Philadelphia’s extensive collection of arts and cultural institutions that celebrate how today’s artists are continuing the city’s unique and rich legacy as a center for creativity and civic engagement. To learn more about the other participating artists and organizations\, please click HERE. \nAbout the Artist:\nSince 2012\, BA Harrington has been a Professor of Woodworking in the Department of Art and Design and Director of the Wood Center at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. She continues to write essays\, speak at conferences\, and build sculptural work in reference to early American furniture forms. She has held Windgate Artist Residencies at San Diego State University and SUNY Purchase and was a recipient of the Center for Craft’s inaugural Craft Research Fund Artist Fellowship. Each year this substantial mid-career grant is awarded to two artists who are revising\, reclaiming\, and advancing the history of craft through their work. Harrington graduated from the Cabinet & Furnituremaking program at the North Bennet Street School in Boston. She also holds an M.F.A. in Wood and an M.A. In Art History from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. \n  \n  \n  \nAbout the Artist:\nViola Bordon is an artist and educator based in Philadelphia whose work examines transformation across material\, ecological\, and social systems. Her quilting is an act that binds histories of labor\, belief\, and resistance. Working through inherited methods of reuse and repair\, she frames systems of power that shape both personal and collective experience. Her quilts negotiate structures that hold tension between faith and skepticism\, memory and material. Quiet repetitive labor forming articulated dissent\, allowing form itself to think through what endurance makes visible. Her practice also includes environmental installations\, drawing on methods of reuse\, endurance\, and collaboration. Her projects have been supported by the Fulbright Commission\, Lilly Endowment\, Sachs Program for Arts Innovation\, US Fish and Wildlife Service\, and Salt Planes State Park. Bordon’s teaching and research emphasize tactile knowledge and the quiet radicality of sustained attention to material and processes. \nSuite Américaine and Muliebrity are generously supported by the Cambium Giving Society of the Museum for Art in Wood\, Radical Americana\, 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. \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?

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?
