The Barnes Foundation announces the fourth Barnes on the Block with Mural Arts Philadelphia, taking place together with Wawa Welcome America—Philadelphia’s annual July 4th festival—and its inaugural Our America Now event, on Friday, July 2, 6–10pm.
Barnes on the Block with Mural Arts Philadelphia is presented through PNC Arts Alive.
Taking place on the Barnes Foundation’s grounds, the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, and on 21st Street near the Barnes, Barnes on the Block with Mural Arts Philadelphia and Our America Now is a free block party that will encourage neighbors to connect with art and one another. There will be something for guests of all ages: from a variety of food trucks and a beer garden by Constellation Culinary Group, to art-making demos, a film screening by BlackStar Film Festival, and live performances by several notable poets—including Philadelphia poet laureate Trapeta B. Mayson and, in partnership with the Philadelphia Education Fund, two rising stars who will share original poems highlighting the unique sparks that led them to pursue college. Curated by We The People Stage with the Barnes and Mural Arts Philadelphia, this event is designed to inspire guests to share their own stories from this unique moment in our shared American history and explore how we experience life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness today.
During the event, guests may enjoy free admission to the Barnes collection and the critically acclaimed Soutine / de Kooning: Conversations in Paint exhibition. Registration is required for collection and exhibition access, and capacity is limited. Free tickets will be available online beginning at 9am on Friday, July 2. Register for a chance to win a Barnes on the Block prize package, including a one-year Contributor membership to the Barnes; four general admission tickets to the Barnes; and a complimentary virtual tour of the Barnes collection for up to four guests. Three winners will be selected by a random drawing. Additional information will be available on the website.

Philadelphia’s robust network of arts & culture organizations, large and small, will be celebrated every week as they perform in the center of the city.

June 30, 2021 12:00-1:00PM Live @ Lunch: Kendrah Butler- Waters at Dilworth Park
Philadelphia’s eclectic music scene is booming with local artists. Every week this summer, their talents will be showcased during small outdoor concerts. In partnership with Rec Philly, performances throughout the month of June will feature musicians selected as part of their Black Music City program. This lunchtime concert series is presented by PNC Bank.
Today's performer, Kendrah Butler-Waters, is a Philadelphia-based pianist, composer, and vocalist. Her serious and rigorous study of both classical and jazz piano afforded her a Rohm and Haas scholarship at Settlement Music School for 5 years to study with the late Philadelphia legendary pianist Eddie Green (pianist for Billy Paul, Tyrone Brown, and many others). Kendrah’s love of jazz and her faith would go to shape her musical identity.

June 30, 2021 6:30-8:30PM Ensemble Novo in Concert at Awbury Arboretum
Ensemble Novo explores samba and the music of Brazil through the lens of jazz improvisation. Featuring the exuberant, uplifting melodies that are seemingly everywhere in Brazil; including classics and little-known songs by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Baden Powell, Edu Lobo and others. Where some jazz is about displays of technical mastery, Ensemble Novo’s soloists involve listeners in soaring, remarkably accessible journeys.
We're delighted to return to the beautiful Awbury Arboretum for the life-affirming sounds of samba and jazz amongst the lush greenery! This June, Ensemble Novo releases 2 short EPs featuring our interpretations of lesser-known gems from the Brazil songbook -- including Edu Lobo's "Ponteio" and "Zanzibar." We'll play some of this new music -- and have CDs for sale.
Tickets are available for purchase now at this link: https://awbury.org/.../community-concert.../2021-06-30/
Advance tickets are recommended -- our last show at Awbury sold out, and that was in the depths of the pandemic!
Cost: $25
Location: the tented patio at the Cope House, 1 Awbury Rd, Philadelphia, PA 19138. Outdoors, and safely distanced.
Please plan to arrive at least 1/2 hour before show time to park and be seated.
In case of heavy rain or thunderstorms concerts may be postponed. Please check the website by 2PM on the day of the concert to be sure the event is still being held.

Whether you are a seasoned Sambista or new to Samba, there is something for everyone in this class! We are going to focus on Rio Style Samba no pe and bringing the performance element to life!

Melissa has worked with Austin Samba, the largest samba school in the United States, as a choreographer, director, and principal dancer.
In 2016, she founded MeliSamba,
a group of professional Samba dancers in Austin, Texas. http://www.melisamba.com/“
