The third seminar in our Found In Translation series begins on Wednesday, June 22nd! Fleisher Art Memorial and William Way LGBT Community Center are proud to present Queer Art: Past and Present, a series of free lectures exploring Queer art histories and contemporary practices and aesthetics through the voices of five renowned artists and art historians: Jonathan Lyndon Chase, Chris E. Vargas, Alpesh Kantilal Patel, Natasha Bissonauth, and Jonathan Katz. The series runs from June 22 through July 27. All sessions will take place on Zoom on Wednesdays from 6:30 - 8:00pm and live Spanish interpretation will be provided. Found in Translation is a free series of art history and critical theory workshops organized by Fleisher in partnership with several cultural institutions throughout Philadelphia. The series specifically focuses on centering BIPOC and Queer voices, reflecting a more inclusive view of the communities we work with. Found in Translation, aligned with Fleisher’s mission of making art more accessible through our education and community programs, brings these valuable perspectives to a broader public. Link in bio to learn more and register! Funding for Found in Translation has been provided by PA Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities as part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.

Fleisher staff recently gathered in the Bootsie Weiss Children's Garden for a spring gardening day! For more than a decade, The Bootsie Weiss Children's Garden has been an integral part of Fleisher’s campus, providing students, staff, and faculty with an inspiring space to explore their creativity. The garden was the vision of Beverly ‘Bootsie’ Weiss, a celebrated artist and dedicated Fleisher board member who passed away in 2009. Named in her honor and supported by generous contributions in her memory, the garden celebrates the creativity of children in our community with a display of their mosaics artwork throughout the space. Today, the outdoor patio space continues to be used for Fleisher programming as well as event rentals. A charming green space in South Philadelphia, this whimsical, 500-square-foot garden is a great choice for small gatherings, intimate parties and other tight-knit community events.

Interested in the art of printmaking, but don't know how to start? Fleisher's cherished family-friendly event, Print Love-In, is back! Traditionally hosted in February, this year we’re bringing the event back on Sunday, June 12 to coincide with National Loving Day. The date commemorates the US Supreme Court’s 1967 decision to strike down laws in several states that banned interracial marriage. The decision was sparked by Loving v. Virginia, a court case involving Richard and Mildred Loving, an interracial couple from Virginia who married in 1958. This year’s event will feature printing sessions geared towards children and adults and no prior printmaking experience is needed. Participants will learn processes and techniques including lithograph, silkscreen, wood, and linoleum blocks. Incorporating designs contributed by Philadelphia artists, attendees will create and decorate their own love notes and prints. Link in bio to register (Calendar of Events > Print Love-In) for one of three available printing sessions: 10 - 11:30 am / Families / $10 per person 12 - 1:30 pm / Families / $10 per person 2 - 4 pm / Adults / $25 per person Don't miss out, space is limited! #printmaking #lovingday #madeatfleisher #fleisherartmemorial

Push your practice forward in "Unapologetic Art for Emerging Artists,” a free, immersive two-week workshop led by teaching artists Caff Adeus and Emilio Maldonado. The workshop will explore the practice of artists making unapologetic work, focusing on artwork that makes bold social statements, reflects authenticity, and centers the depth of personal experience. The instructors will encourage participants to assert themselves and their own experiences, exploring boldness, fieriness, contentiousness, daringness, and gutsiness as a means and a method in studio practice. The workshop will meet on June 7, 9, 13, 15, and 16 from 6:00-9:00 pm at Fleisher. Link in bio to learn more and register. Space is limited!
