El Caribefunk live music
Welcome to El Caribefunk, an exotic fusion of salsa, funk, and Caribbean music. A Colombian band with a fervent underground following in South America, El Caribefunk is on tour in the United States for the first time.

There are other non-musical activities while you're there:
1:30–3 pm
Fleisher Art Memorial hands-on activity
Take instruction from Fleisher Art Memorial teaching artists, as they lead still-life drawing in an art-making workshop inspired by the work of Paul Cézanne.

2–2:20 pm
Cézanne’s Still Lifes talk
The 69 works by Cézanne in the Barnes Foundation’s collection include 16 still lifes, all of which are on permanent display. This summer, 23 additional still lifes by the artist can be seen in The World Is an Apple: The Still Lifes of Paul Cézanne, the exhibition currently on view. Join Barnes docent Penny Hansen for a short talk on the significance of Cézanne’s masterful creations.

2:20–2:40 pm
Nature in Your Home demonstration
Pick up tips on bringing the beauty of nature indoors as Rachel Burlington, a Barnes Foundation gardener and the owner of Rachel’s Bouquet, demonstrates how to create thoughtful floral arrangements inspired by Cézanne. Materials include seasonal flowers and other items from the Barnes Arboretum in Merion.

Free tickets can be obtained on-site at the Barnes Foundation beginning at 9 am. Advance reservations are not available for Free First Sundays.
