Hi, this week there’s news of new group exhibitions opening in May. Saint Josephs University’s Shifting Ecologies gathers fifteen local artists making work celebrating and questioning our interactions with nature. Crafting Nature presented by InLiquid Gallery focuses on human interaction with nature. South Street Fest returns Saturday May 6th with plenty of festivities and ongoing events for everyone. The Museum for Art in Wood holds a guided tour of The Mashrabiya Project having dancers fill the exhibition space responding to and expanding upon the works’ meaning. Opportunities present themselves through e-flux journal’s annual applications for journal fellowships. Hoping you’ll find something valuable and fun to do.
