This is the final weekend to experience PAFA's portion of Rising Sun: Artists in an Uncertain America, a transformative exhibition of contemporary works examining the provocative and timely question: “Is the sun rising or setting on the experiment of American democracy?” This one-of-a-kind exhibition spans two historic Philadelphia institutions, PAFA and the African American Museum in Philadelphia (AAMP). While PAFA will close it's part of the show December 31, 2023, AAMP will continue to exhibit Rising Sun through March 3, 2024.
Dennis Robinson, PAFA's Visitor Services Supervisor, will walk you through installations by celebrated artists that explore themes of equality, free speech, and other tenets of democracy. Rising Sun is an unforgettable arts experience that inspires us to reflect on, challenge, and expand our own lived experiences.
Registration required. Free for PAFA Members. General Admission is $18. Registration includes the entrance fee to PAFA's Museum.
