Priority Hoarding: A Retrospectacle
2027-06-17 | The Hairport, 444 N 3rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19123, United States
“Where our baggage is yours!”
Welcome to the Bearded Ladies’ Hairport, an interactive installation & performance series built on 16-years of accumulated baggage from a queer cabaret company devoted to art, care, mess, and community. While you’re waiting for a flight that may never take off, unpack your baggage and rifle through some of ours. You may recognize something as your own, or find something you never knew you were carrying.
Made for anyone who has ever lost a bag, gotten stuck, or missed a (metaphoric) flight, this trans(formational) installation asks: how do you know it’s time to move on when you don’t know where you’re going?
Produced by The Bearded Ladies Cabaret
Part of FringeArt’s 2026 Festival & Collective Futures
Installation on view September 10-December 20, 2026
at The Hairport | 444 N 3rd Street, Philadelphia PA 19123
Installation hours:
Wednesday, Thursday & Friday 4-9PM | Last timed entry at 8:15PM
Saturday & Sunday 11AM-3PM| Last timed entry at 2:15PM
Live events at The Hairport | Saturdays at 8PM
The Hairport is an interactive, immersive installation filled with costumes, cardboard props, and other ephemera from the Bearded Ladies Cabaret’s 16-year performance history. Visitors will make their way through a sprawling multi-room space made to look like a fantastical, metaphorical “airport”. Visitors will be invited to interact with components of the installation and may encounter docents in guiding roles. The experience will culminate in a “lounge” space full of “Bearded baggage” which will also serve as the performance site for the Now Hoarding: In-Flight Entertainment live event series.
It will take visitors approximately 60-75 minutes to view the entirety of the Priority Hoarding installation. Groups of 6 will enter the installation, at 15-minute timed entry intervals. An opportunity to ride a Surrey bike is offered but not required.

Free art show- A Likeness Now Seen
2027-06-17 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
Katherine Fraser

Core Sommelier Course (Fall Semester) at the Philly Wine School
2027-06-20 08:00 - 17:00 | Philly wine school, 109 S 22nd St,, Philadelphia, PA, 19103, United States
Eight weeks, 16 sessions, and the entry point to a full professional wine curriculum.
The Philly Wine School has taught this material since 2001. The Core course combines the school’s Foundation and Intermediate programs into one semester — the full sequence in half the calendar time, and for less than taking them separately.
Each Sunday runs two sections. The first works through a wine region: France, Italy, Spain and Portugal, North America, Australia, South America. The second builds tasting skill, from sensory mechanics through varietal structure to blind identification. By week seven students are tasting blind. By week eight they are being examined on it.
The teaching is old-school and deliberately demanding — lecture, guided tasting, discussion, instructor feedback, written exams. Most students find in the first two weeks that they knew less than they thought. That is the design. Bring a notebook.
Graduates earn Level III certification from the National Wine School and can continue into the Advanced program — four semesters, 32 classes — and then to master-level study.
Keith Wallace founded the school in 2001. A Napa-trained winemaker and the author of Corked & Forked, he has taught at Drexel University. Alana Zerbe is director of wine education; she holds a J.D. and an LL.M., practiced law in Washington before moving into wine full time, and developed the National Wine School’s Level One and Level Three programs. Both teach this course.
Tuition covers the course workbook and tasting materials, both in-class exams, and Level III certification on completion. No prerequisites. Classes are held at 109 S. 22nd St. in Rittenhouse.

“For over 20 years, this independent institution has quietly trained the next wave of sommeliers, winemakers, and beverage professionals.” — AWS Wine Journal, American Wine Society Educational Foundation, Summer 2025

“The best wine school, period. Everything I’ve achieved in the world of wine, I owe to them.” — Neil Ross, director, Vernick Restaurant Group
