Philadelphia: For the People Exhibition
2026-05-02 - 2027-01-02 | Parkway Central Library, 1901 Vine Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19103, United States
250 years ago, the Declaration of Independence affirmed that a government exists to serve the people. Although that affirmation has not been enforced with equal measure, Philadelphians have fought to create a City of Brotherly Love. The city’s collective beauty is apparent in its parks and public art, while infrastructure such as telephone lines and public transit are reminders of how Philadelphia has evolved to serve its people. As we reflect upon the city’s development, its strengths and its shortcomings, how can we best shape a future for Philadelphia’s people?
Objects on display are from the Children’s Literature Research Collection, Government Publications, the Map Collection, and the Print and Picture Collection. To learn more, visit freelibrary.org/specialcollections and freelibrary.org/gpd.
This exhibition can be viewed in the Second Floor West Gallery of Parkway Central Library from May 2, 2026 through January 2, 2027.

Paths to Independence: 1765-1787
2026-05-07 - 2026-09-18 | Historical Society of Pennsylvania, 1300 Locust Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19107, United States
In 1763, following the French and Indian War, most American colonists cherished their place in the British Empire and expressed loyalty to King George III. Yet by 1776, many of those same colonists were ready to declare independence, denouncing the king as a “Royal Brute.” Paths to Independence explores how such a dramatic transformation in political allegiance and public sentiment occurred in just over a decade.
​
Featuring rare original documents from the Historical Society of Pennsylvania’s collections, including letters, pamphlets, broadsides, and drafts of the Articles of Confederation, which was the first constitution of the United States, the display traces the complex path to American independence. It highlights not only the perspectives of well-known figures such as Benjamin Franklin, John Dickinson, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and James Wilson, but also the experiences and evolving views of ordinary Philadelphians.

Gravers Lane Gallery welcomes the remarkable work of Painter / Sculptor Ron Isaacs. Renowned Kentucky-based artist and teacher with a career spanning over 50 years, Isaacs’s work has been exhibited in major galleries in Chicago, Philadelphia, and New York, with work residing in multiple private and corporate collections. Currently, the largest public collection is housed in the Racine Museum of Art in Wisconsin.
By using objects such as garments, tools, and organic materials, Isaacs explores the narrative of objects and their relation to mortality, memory, and the passage of time. Through the process of creating an installation with objects in a still-life setting, Isaacs experiments with birch, plywood, and acrylic paint to construct his work.
As a trained painter, Isaacs employs techniques similar to those of the old masters to create a composition reminiscent of traditional two-dimensional work. By balancing form, texture, and light, Isaacs’ work explores the elements of memory, the passage of time, and how objects can evoke memory.

Free art show- A Likeness Now Seen
2026-05-29 10:00 - 18:00 | Black Moth Gallery, 18 East Lancaster Ave, Ardmore, PA, 19003, United States
May 1st – June 30th
Artist reception- May 22nd 6-9pm
Black Moth Gallery presents a group exhibition exploring form as subject by contemporary artists. The collection of artworks addresses issues of self-identity, body type acceptance, intimacy and aging. Working in various mediums from timeless practices to exploring new materials and techniques, artists demonstrate their appreciation of the human figure. Some exercise mastery of classic renderings of the subject while others seek expressive interpretations and inspirations of the all so familiar forms, albeit infinitely unique.

These modern examples of a classic motif naturally register with us because what we recognize is most familiar, a variation of the material self. These are moments in the finite life of another being, stilled and eternalized, sometimes venerated. A story is told, energy is felt, and technical skills are admired. The intimacy of engaging a portrait or figure painting will always be reflective, enticing, and esteemed, from the experience the of artist to that of the viewer.

A portion of the proceeds from this show will support Domestic Violence Center of Chester County.

Invited artists:

Jessica Bednarcik
Mashiul Chowdhury
