Off the Wall: American Art to WearNovember 10, 2019–May 17, 2020

Delight in the astonishing inventiveness and techniques of a generation of mixed-media artists who pioneered a new art form designed around the body. Coming of age during the dramatic cultural shifts of the 1960s and 70s, the artists in this distinctively American movement explored nontraditional materials and methods to create adventurous, deeply imaginative works.

Members’ Private Curator TourThursday, November 14, 9:30–10:30 a.m.

Enjoy a crowd-free tour of Off the Wall: American Art to Wear led by exhibition curator Dilys Blum (Friedland Senior Curator of Costume and Textiles). Members $25; Patrons and above ($1,500+) receive two complimentary tour tickets per year; reservation required.

For more information on the exhibitions and programs listed here, including generous donors, please visit philamuseum.org.
