Dietrich Galleries 150–157
Main Building
Join us as we champion our city’s vibrant art scene—an inclusive community, a creative crossroads, and a hub for experimentation. Twenty-five emerging and established artists with strong Philadelphia connections explore ideas of being and belonging through ceramics, fiber, glass, painting, photography, sculpture, video, and more.
Works include five major new commissions that range from installation to dance. The show inaugurates the museum’s new 10,000-square-foot space for contemporary art.
