Furry Friends Tour

June 27, 2026 9:00 am

 

Bring your pup to tour the Rail Park! Join our expert guide and her furry friend for a small group tour that traverses through the heart of Philadelphia and connects the city’s industrial past with its green future.

The Three Mile Vision Tour explores the past, present, and future of the Rail Park, highlighting the potential for this project to connect thousands of Philadelphia residents and visitors to green space and each other.

This linear, street-level tour is approximately 3 miles in length, beginning at 2700 Pennsylvania Avenue and ending at Phase One of the Rail Park at 1100 Callowhill Street. We do not loop back to the starting point.

America // América – An exhibit at The Arts League exploring identity, history, and the interwoven realities of the Americas

July 1, 2026 6:00 pm

 

Exhibition Dates: July 1-27, 2026
Location: The Arts League, 4226 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, PA

Soft Opening Reception: July 1, 2026 | 6:00 PM-8:00 PM
Cultural Programming: July 11, 2026 | 4:00 PM-9:00 PM

On July 4, 2026, the United States will celebrate 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. That same week, on July 1, a different kind of American story opens at The Arts League of Philadelphia. America // América brings together eight Latine and Caribbean artists to ask a perspective that the Semiquincentennial celebrations may not share – the story of “Whose America are we discussing?”

Co-curated by Debora Reaves Charmelus and Linda Fernandez, presented by The Arts League in partnership with Kolektivo Sin Nombre, America // América is a group exhibition featuring Latine and Caribbean artists whose work examines the complex meanings of identity, belonging, memory, and power across the Americas.

Featured artists include:

• Debora Reaves Charmelus

• Heather Raquel Philips

• José Ortiz-Pagán

• Linda Fernandez

• Manuela Guillén

• Margery Cedano

• Ricky Yanas

• Yoanny Aldaya Ramírez

• Kenni Field

In addition to the exhibition, a day of cultural programming on July 11 will feature an artist talk, film screening of “Baobab Flowers” by Gabriela Watson Burkett, musical performances, and community engagement activities that deepen the themes explored in the exhibition.
