October is here, and the season premieres are flying.

We just published our last Fringe reviews of 2022, but October promises to be just as exciting. We're interested in an upcoming exhibition at the Barnes featuring an in-depth look at the latest science and scholarship on Modigliani, whose paintings are some of the most valuable in the world, and most faked by forgers. We spoke with curators at the Barnes about why there are some surprising picks on the wall -- as well as Modigliani scholars who were not invited to join the project.

In other news, we're going to continue bringing you an exclusive peek at which arts events the BSR team is heading to on the busy Philly scene. Look out later this week for our inaugural monthly mailer, and stay in touch with our staff.

It's been a dreary week so far in Philly, but it looks like some sunshine is ahead. As always, look out for Kyle's roundup tomorrow for events to take you into a beautiful weekend.
