Exhibition

Metamorphosis: Celebrating Creativity and Growth

Through fall 2024

For this opening exhibition in the Learning and Engagement Center, we invited museum artists to create artworks inspired by the concepts of transformation and growth, both seasonal and personal.

Each of the artists use various media and take different approaches to the subject. Many celebrate the changing spring landscape, colors, and temperatures that bring communities together outdoors. The qualities and attributes of Philadelphia are also highlighted, including trees, parks, buildings, and food unique to our city. Other artworks focus on personal and spiritual awakenings often associated with the changing of the seasons.

We celebrate these Philadelphia artists for their creativity and the impact they have in fostering growth and learning for people of all ages and abilities in our museum programs. As teaching artists, they facilitate art-making experiences for middle and high school students, families, US veterans, and individuals living with Parkinson’s disease.
