Join fellow Athenaeum Young Friends & Student members for a private small-group, guided tour of The Time is Always Now at the Philadelphia Museum of Art!
This exhibition features 28 Black and African diasporic contemporary artists who use figurative painting, drawing and sculpture to illuminate and celebrate the nuance and richness of Black contemporary life.
Curated by British writer and curator Ekow Eshun, The Time Is Always Now takes its title from an essay on desegregation by American writer and social rights activist James Baldwin. It highlights a sense of urgency around contemporary artistic expression, while acting as a reminder that Black artists exist within an always-evolving artistic lineage.
Registration for this tour is reserved for Athenaeum Young Friend & Student level members.
Important Information:
- Space is very limited. Registration and payment is required ahead of the tour.
- Transportation is not provided. Attendees must make their own travel plans to and from the museum.
Athenaeum member price: $45.00
