Special Tour: Rising Sun: Artists in an Uncertain America (PAFA)
Sunday, June 18, 12:00 PM
To celebrate Juneteenth, PAFA will be free for all on Sunday, June 18th. Register to participate in a guided tour of Rising Sun: Artists in an Uncertain America, an exhibition of new works examining the provocative and timely question: “Is the sun rising or setting on the experiment of American democracy?”
Two historic museums come together for a transformative exhibition of contemporary art. Join the African American Museum in Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts forInstallations by 20 celebrated artists explore themes of equality, free speech, and other tenets of democracy. In a time when perspectives in the U.S. are radically disparate, we invite you to explore how art inspires us to reflect on, challenge, and expand our own lived experiences.
Tickets are limited. Registration is encouraged!
