It is a garden of pleasure and learning, relaxing yet filled with ideas to take home. Each area of the park is designed and maintained by one of seven horticulturists and each one is continually evolving from year to year and season to season. Each garden has its own feel, yet all are joined together as one harmonious unit.

Join ARTZ Notes curator and lead facilitator Keisha Hutchins Hirlinger and Philadelphia-based multidisciplinary artist and musician MB Singley (an ARTZ Notes favorite!) for a very special in-person ARTZ Notes program at Woodmere Art Museum.

Summer is here and the time is always right for dancing in the streets! This workshop is all about having fun in the sun while singing along to some of your favorite tunes. We’ll take a stroll on the boardwalk, and get some ice cream…or maybe dip our toes in the sand after we do a little surfing! All you need for this workshop is a willingness to have a good time, so grab your sunglasses and I’ll meet you on the sunny side of the street!

MB explores the human condition through story, song and audience engagement. She has self-produced three albums of original music and she can be heard on John Legend’s Grammy-nominated debut album, Get Lifted. In 2020, MB premiered her one-woman show about growing up as a black woman in the United States, Turn, at the Kimmel Center.

ARTZ Notes invites you to come together with other participants to listen to music, make your own, and engage with each other and the performers. ARTZ Notes offers music and experiences as diverse as our participants. We are exploring different options including facilitating live performances paired with conversations, interactive improvisation and sing-alongs, and conversations and movement around pre-recorded music of all genres.
