ArtPhilly's hosting its inaugural multidisciplinary arts festival this week, featuring over 30 works across the city over the next month that answer the question, what now? As we approach America's 250th, it's the perfect time to contemplate the future while understanding what brought us here and what we have to hold in the now. Film screenings, dance performances, workshops, exhibitions, and more are in store for a robust and diverse set of offerings, and this week's roundup has a collection of picks that I hope helps kickstart your interest! Be sure to check out what we've got our eyes on, and see the full lineup for yourself, too. There's something for everyone.
Then, cinéSPEAK brings its Under the Stars Film Festival back to Clark Park, with features and documentaries that help give us context and shape around the volatile world around us. The festival runs through mid-June, just in time to officially close out spring.
Be good, Philly!
