It's nasty out, but don't let the weather keep you from exploring all that this city's artisans and art curators have to offer!
Take, for instance, the special First Friday event the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts is throwing in honor of their new (aforementioned) Cecilia Beaux American Figure Painter exhibition, starting at 5PM. It's the first chance that Philadelphians will have to see the exhibit, plus, there will be live music and free food. And you know you love free food. The Cecilia Beaux exhibition will be in the Fisher Brooks Gallery in the Samuel M.V. Hamilton Building at 128 N. Broad Street, at Cherry.
Rather be in Old City? The F.U.E.L. Collection will be having another of their fab First Friday shindigs starting at 6PM: refreshments (and they do usually know how to put out a spread!) and an opportunity to meet local artists who are part of the NYP Extension exhibition. F.U.E.L. is located at Third and Arch Streets in Old City.
And if you want to travel further afield, you can check out Port Fishington's own Walking Fish Theatre, performing their production of Adventures in the Skin Trade, based on the works of Dylan Thomas, at the Atlantis: The Lost Bar in Kensington. Because for those of you afraid of the theatre, a few beers makes it far more bearable. Atlantis: The Lost Bar is located at 2442 Frankford Avenue, a few blocks from the York-Dauphin El stop.
