Transcending Uncertainty: Art Endures at Home in Philadelphia

The historic University of the Arts in Center City closed its doors suddenly in June. But out of the ashes art passion prevailed. Creative Philadelphia and City Councilwoman Rue Landau teamed up to create the public exhibition, Transcending Uncertainty: Art Endures at Home in Philadelphia. Organized by the city’s Curator of Exhibitions and Programs Tu Huynh, with this opening reception, the exhibition will be a showcase of community and solidarity. It will highlight the rich, diverse artistic expressions of the former UArts students who are reclaiming their creative voices in the aftermath of the 150-year-old school’s closure. The exhibition runs through Saturday, January 25, 2025, weekdays, 9 a.m. EST to 5 p.m. EST. The art was chosen by artist Lauren Rinaldi, who serves as Council Member Landau’s Arts and Culture Liaison. It showcases more than 50 works representing various media. Free, 5 p.m. EST to 7 p.m. EST. The exhibit is in the first-floor art gallery, Creative Philadelphia-Room 116, and extends onto the 5th-floor corridor near City Council offices. Enter City Hall at the Visitor Entrance, northeast corner. The reception: Northeast corner. City Hall, 5th Floor.  215-686-8446 or Creativephl.org.
