20/20 Opening Night

​Programming partners InLiquid and TILT present exhibits on our opening night party at the Crane Arts Building while also celebrating Second Thursday, a monthly event where galleries and artist studios open their doors to the public for an evening of celebrating art.

​InLiquid No Other Place to Go featuring Anita Allyn, Richard Boutwell, Laura Krasnow, Kaitlin Pomerantz, and Emma Ressel curated by Katie Tackman

​No Other Place to Go considers how photography reflects the psychological weight of climate change, shaped by collective anxiety, grief, and uncertainty. The featured work exemplifies photography’s capacity to show what is happening in a world undergoing rapid climatic and ecological change. These images affirm that evidence and emotion are not opposing forces, but complementary forms of knowledge—together shaping how environmental realities are seen, remembered, and acted upon.

​TILT Institute for Contemporary Image Eco-Social Realism: Historic Mural Activations

​Mural Arts Philadelphia and TILT present Eco-Social Realism: Historic Mural Activations. The exhibition takes as its starting point four murals within the larger neighborhood around TILT that were produced in the early years of Mural Arts Philadelphia. Those murals include: Forest Green (1996) by Ras Malik, Cinema Verde (1998) by Dennis Haugh, Tropical Landscape (1999) by Diane Keller, and Tropical Landscape with Waterfall (2000) by Ana Uribe. As with many murals of that time period, these four engaged in the representation of pastoral and garden scenes, often mixing fantasy with landscapes familiar to both nearby Pennsylvania and the Caribbean, where many neighbors originally migrated from.
