Meet the Men Who Birthed a Nation.
Think you know the guys on your money? Think again. Join us at Christ Church Burial Ground for a lively dive into the lives of America’s original "Daddies." Beyond the iconic Benjamin Franklin, you’ll meet the rebels, rascals, and visionaries—like Rush, Ross, and Hopkinson—who signed the Declaration and lived to tell the tale (mostly).
From revolutionary medical breakthroughs to the "quirky" habits of the elite, this isn’t your average dry history lesson. It’s a spirited look at the messy, inspiring, and very human stories behind the legacies that shaped a nation.

Arch Enemy Arts

Arch Enemy Arts is honored to announce Common Waters: One Ocean Many Voices, a landmark charitable exhibition on view June 5 through July 12, 2026 at Arch Enemy Arts, located at 109 Arch Street in Old City Philadelphia. A portion of exhibition proceeds and visitor donations will directly benefit PangeaSeed, the nation’s only arts-based ocean advocacy organization. Presented during the semiquincentennial of the United States’ founding, Common Waters brings together more than 50 contemporary artists from around the world to explore humanity’s relationship with the ocean through the lens of the seven UNESCO Ocean Literacy Principles. Artists were invited to create original works that reflect, interpret, or challenge how we understand the sea’s role in climate, culture, biodiversity, and global interconnectedness. “At a moment when the United States is reflecting on 250 years of history, COMMON WATERS invites us to look outward rather than inward,” says Tré Packard, Founder and Executive Director of PangeaSeed. “The ocean doesn’t recognize borders, yet it holds us all accountable. By bringing together international artists through the lens of ocean literacy, this exhibition asks a simple but urgent question: how do we care for what sustains us all?” Whether addressing rising sea levels, environmental stewardship, maritime history, or the ocean’s influence on everyday life, the exhibition encourages viewers to consider the profound impact waterways and oceans have had on our nation’s past, present, and future. The exhibition opens with a public First Friday reception on Friday, June 5, 2026 from 5pm–9pm. Admission is free and open to the public. Donations are welcomed in support of PangeaSeed’s conservation initiatives.

Common Waters: One Ocean Many Voices

Arch Enemy Arts is honored to announce Common Waters: One Ocean Many Voices, a landmark charitable exhibition on view June 5...

Join Arch Enemy Arts on First Friday, June 5th for the opening reception of four new solo exhibitions by Briana Hertzog, Drew Caines, Richard Ahnert, and Sad Salesman, opening alongside ‘Common Waters: One Ocean Many Voices,’ a charitable group exhibition benefiting PangeaSeed, the nation’s only arts-based ocean advocacy organization.
FEAST is a new series of paintings by Virginia-based pop-surrealist, Briana Hertzog merge human, animal, and botanical forms gathering around personified fruits and vegetables, exploring the word ‘feast’ as something indulgent and playful, edged with the tension of predator and prey. 6/6/26 - 6/28/26
ENGLISH DREAMTIME is England-based ceramicist Drew Caines’ first solo collection with Arch Enemy Arts and features a playful little pantheon of British folk spirits drawing from medieval grotesques, mumming traditions, church gargoyles, and pagan goddesses. Freshly excavated yet totally alive, the collection satisfies our thirst for folk horror through objects that are cute, contemporary, and highly collectible. 5/22/26 - 6/14/26
CONNECTIONS is Richard Ahnert’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery and features the artist’s signature luminous, naturalistic paintings of anthropomorphic characters caught in intimate moments of contemporary life. According to the artist, “The work reflects on moments of solitude, curiosity, companionship, and conflict, revealing how connection is often shaped as much by division as by unity.” 6/6/26 - 6/28/26
PREHISTORIC! by Sad Salesman is a new collection of instantly charming original characters inspired by the earliest events and animals on earth. The bulk of the series include delightful little bugs suspended in glowing amber-like domes, many of whom were caught and fossilized while behaving badly. 5/22/26 - 6/14/26
Join us for an evening of new work, fresh perspectives, and strange little worlds. Friday, June 5th, 5pm–9pm at Arch Enemy Arts, 109 Arch Street in Old City Philadelphia, or stop by during our public hours Wednesday-Sunday. Admission is always free and open to the public.

City Winery Philadelphia

City Winery Philadelphia presents Keke Wyatt live on June 5th at 6pm and 9:30pm. <a href="https://citywinery.com/pages/genre/keke-wyatt-philadelphia-multishow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View all Keke Wyatt shows --&gt;</a>
The Early Years Born Ke’Tara (pronounced key-TAIR-ruh) Wyatt, Indianapolis-native Keke grew up the second born along with three brothers (all musically inclined) in a mixed-race family. Father Keever Wyatt II is a minister, organist and vocalist, and Mother Lorna Wyatt is a powerful vocalist and church choir director. Keke’s grandmother discovered her ability to harmonize at age two. She began singing in church with her family shortly after she had her first solo performance at age five. Keke recorded her first gospel song, “What If,” when she was ten years-old. Music was Keke’s first love—not only singing but as a good drummer and percussionist, also she would attempt at keyboards, guitar, and bass. Keke was the only girl on her high school wrestling team (having all brothers and live-in male cousins creates such necessities). In between bouts on the mat, Keke performed with various girl groups. Keke became a protégé of noted producer Steve Huff. Under his tutelage, she recorded demos for record labels and developed her songwriting skills. When Keke turned 16 years-old, Huff introduced her to R&amp;B singer Avant who asked Keke to join him on a cover of René &amp; `Angela’s 1983 Quiet Storm masterpiece, “My First Love.” The sumptuous duet became a hit all over again for another generation in 2000 and was Keke’s first out of the box smash, peaking at No. 4 on the Billboard Top 100 chart. At 18, Keke released her maiden voyage to the world with the album Soul Sista on MCA Records, scoring a platinum album and a second hit duet with Avant titled “Nothing in This World” (produced by Randy Jackson, pre American Idol) which went to No. 1 on Billboard’s “R&amp;B Singles” chart. Worldwide sales helped Keke create fan bases in Europe, Japan, and Korea. Keke walked away from MCA, leaving two completed CDs in the can. Though she continued performing, Keke didn’t release her second CD, Who Knew, until 2010 followed by Unbelievable in 2011 (both on Shanachie Records). The latter included “Saturday Love,” a duet with American Idol-winner Ruben Studdard that was a remake of the Cherrelle and Alexander O’Neal hit. Keke scored a third smash with Avant in 2013 titled “You &amp; I.” An instant classic, it hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Urban Adult chart around Valentine’s Day 2013 and remained for seven consecutive weeks.
Reality Show Life - Beyond the craziness that comes with putting your life under the microscope of reality shows, Keke relished the opportunity to share her stories—good, bad and ugly—with others on “R&amp;B Divas Atlanta” and “Marriage Boot Camp” debuting in October 2016 on the WETV Network. “I’m an open book,” Keke states. “I want people to know, ‘I’m just like you. The one thing that is hard is reading evil comments about my family on social media.
TV Series/Show Life- In 2016 Keke Wyatt joined the cast of Bounce TV hit show “Saints and Sinners” as Lady Greene (character). In 2021 Keke Wyatt joined the cast of the BET+ hit Movie “Favorite Son” as Ivy Whitlow (character).
Between the runaway-elevator life that inspires her songs and the reality shows in which she stars that find her generously sharing her highs and lows to help others. International singing star Keke Wyatt has a treasure trove of music on the subject of love. So much so that her latest project, Rated Love (released via her own Aratek Entertainment through a multi-album artist services deal with global distribution company Ingrooves Music Group) has morphed from a five-song EP to a 12-song CD into a deluxe digital download boasting 17 songs plus interludes. Rated Love goes further than any previous Keke Wyatt release to reveal “the real” Keke with a diverse collection of material by the lady and her team of writers and producers that includes R&amp;B, country, techno-pop, acoustic soft rock, and contemporary inspirational styles—all served by the wallop of Wyatt’s dynamic vocals reflecting more of the music she has taken to heart across her lifetime.

Pig Iron School for Advanced Performance Training

THE STRIDES COLLECTIVE PRESENTS: A SEPTAGON (STAGED READING) By Sophie Brion Neely Directed by Jack McManus Friday, June 5, 2026 at 7pm Saturday, June 6, 2026 at 2pm Location Pig Iron Studios (1417 N 2nd St, Studio B, Philadelphia, PA, 19122)SYNOPSIS As Route 113 starts his new job as a bouncer at Woody’s in August 2025, Philadelphia goes into crisis mode. The SEPTA cuts have hit, forcing together two formerly distant siblings: Route 27, a lesbian-but-straight-for-AJ-Brown social worker and Route 5, a math professor turned high school sub with a penchant for Tastykakes. As the siblings struggle to define their relationship in a post-advancement world, Route 113, Route 5, and Route 27 encounter each other in unexpected ways, ultimately shaping the others’ conclusions about how to live free, queer, and Philadelphian when all you can do is wait…alongside your entire city.ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHTSophie Brion Neely is a playwright from Orange County, California, and the first commissioned playwright from The Strides Collective. Her work has been developed and/or showcased by Kearny Street Workshop, the Yale Center for the Study of Race, Indigeneity, and Transnational Migration, Segerstrom Center for the Arts, Moving Arts, the Dramatic Question Theatre, and Amoeba Productions. Her plays have been selected as finalists or semifinalists for The Playwrights Realm’s Scratchpad Series, the Eugene O’Neill National Playwrights Conference, the Dramatists Guild Foundation’s National Fellows Program, the Blue Ink Award, and the Bay Area Playwrights Festival.

Morton Contemporary Art Gallery

Los Angeles–based artist <a href="https://www.donnaisham.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Donna Isham</a> will debut her work in Philadelphia with Alchemy: The Sound of Color at Morton Contemporary, opening Saturday, June 6 from 6 - 8pm - free and open to the public and will be up&nbsp;through to July 31. The exhibition is a collaboration with her husband, acclaimed composer Mark Isham—an Emmy and Grammy Award–winning musician and Academy Award–nominated film composer—whose work spans film scores such as Crash and A River Runs Through It.
Together, they’ve developed a unique immersive practice that blends large-scale painting with projection-mapped animation and original musical compositions, creating environments that exist somewhere between contemporary art, film, and performance. The work invites viewers to slow down, sit with the paintings, and experience them through sound and light as well as image—something that feels especially relevant at a moment when most visual engagement happens through screens.
What makes this particularly compelling for a feature is the collaboration itself: Donna’s background in painting and visual storytelling meets Mark’s decades-long career in music and film scoring, resulting in a rare dialogue between disciplines. Their process—bridging painting (which traditionally exists outside of time) with music (which unfolds within it)—is both conceptually rich and visually striking.
