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. Visit our website to see what's on.

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.

City Winery Philadelphia 990 Filbert Street Philadelphia, PA 19107

City Winery Philadelphia presents Freddie Jackson live on June 6th at 7:30pm.
To urban contemporary listeners, Freddie Jackson is one of the biggest stars of the latter half of the ’80s, dominating the R&amp;B charts seemingly at will. Jackson’s forte was sophisticated, romantic soul ballads aimed at adult audiences, but he was also capable of tackling urban contemporary dance fare and even the occasional jazz tune. Yet unlike many of his peers — Luther Vandross, Anita Baker, Peabo Bryson, etc. — Jackson never managed to cross over to the pop charts, where none of his R&amp;B smashes even breached the Top Ten. As new trends like hip-hop altered the urban contemporary landscape, Jackson gradually faded from view during the ’90s.
Jackson was born October 2, 1956, in Harlem, and like so many soul stars, he was trained as a gospel singer from an early age, singing at the White Rock Baptist Church. There he met Paul Laurence, who would later become his producer and songwriting partner. After completing school, Jackson joined Laurence’s group LJE (Laurence-Jones Ensemble) and played the New York club scene. During the early ’80s, Jackson moved to the West Coast and sang lead with the R&amp;B band Mystic Merlin, but soon returned to New York to work with Laurence at the Hush Productions company. He sang on demo recordings of Laurence’s compositions, and also served as a backup singer for Melba Moore after she caught his nightclub act.
In 1985, Jackson landed a record deal with Capitol and issued his debut album, Rock Me Tonight. The Laurence-penned title track stormed the R&amp;B charts, spending a whopping six weeks at number one, and made Jackson an instant sensation on urban contemporary radio. “You Are My Lady” gave him a second straight R&amp;B chart-topper, and also proved to be his highest-charting single on the pop side, peaking at number 13. With “He’ll Never Love You (Like I Do)” and “Love Is Just a Touch Away” also hitting the R&amp;B Top Ten, Rock Me Tonight topped the R&amp;B album charts and went platinum. Jackson wasted no time issuing a follow-up set; Just Like the First Time appeared in 1986 on the heels of a number one R&amp;B duet with Melba Moore, “A Little Bit More” (from her album A Lot of Love). Another platinum-seller, Just Like the First Time continued Jackson’s incredible dominance of the R&amp;B singles charts; “Tasty Love,” “Have You Ever Loved Somebody,” and “Jam Tonight” all hit number one, while “I Don’t Want to Lose Your Love” went to number two.
The pace of Jackson’s success slowed to less superhuman levels with the 1988 release of Don’t Let Love Slip Away, which nonetheless featured another R&amp;B chart-topper in “Hey Lover,” plus further hits in “Nice and Slow” and “Crazy (For Me).” The title track of 1990′s Do Me Again duplicated that feat, and “Main Course” just missed, topping out at number two. Even so, Jackson’s early placings in the lower reaches of the pop Top 40 had long since disappeared, and some critics charged that his albums were growing too similar to one another. Perhaps it was a lack of distinctiveness in his material that hurt Jackson’s chances for a pop breakthrough; whatever the case, 1992′s Time for Love failed to duplicate the crossover success Luther Vandross was belatedly enjoying, despite a hit cover of the soul classic “Me and Mrs. Jones.”
Seeking a new beginning, Jackson parted ways with Capitol in late 1993, and signed with RCA. His label debut, Here It Is, appeared the following year, with diminished commercial returns — in part because his straightforwardly romantic ballad style was increasingly out of step with the sexually explicit new breed of R&amp;B crooner. Following a Christmas album, Jackson recorded Private Party (1995) for Scotti Brothers; its biggest single, “Rub Up Against You,” reached the Top 25 of the R&amp;B chart. From then on, Jackson recorded independent albums with a modest level of commercial success. These releases included Life After 30 (number 81 R&amp;B, 1999), It’s Your Move (number 45 R&amp;B, 2004), the covers set Personal Reflections (did not chart, 2005), Transitions (number 26 R&amp;B, 2006), and For You (2010).

Join us for the Exhibition Reception of The Birth by Low-Residency MFA alum, SEIVIN. Shortly after graduating from the MFA program in the summer of 2025, SEIVIN was invited to create an installation in the Broad Street Studio at the front of the Hamilton Building. Known for elaborate and colorful site-specific tape installations, he transformed the glass gallery into a dynamic, entangled experience solely using tape.
Inspired by the nature of the Broad Street Studio itself, he explored the tension between visibility and interiority and focused on creating an experience that viewers could enter, not just observe. Through an organic process of layering and interweaving bands of tape, he embraced the unexpected forms that began to emerge as the material amassed together and eventually resembled the shape of a womb—an enclosed, living form inviting viewers to enter and pass through.
A celebration of birth and renewal, the installation and the passageway it invites suggest the moment when all humans begin equally—before the restrictions of societal boundaries or meanings. Naturally echoing this idea of equity and diversity, the colors of the tape represent a different race, a different identity—all intertwining to create a single living organism of connection and coexistence. What each strand holds individually, the whole holds together. The Birth reminds us that our first enclosure was not one that divided us, but one that held us together.
Reflecting on the process of entering the completed work himself, the artist recalls his own unexpected experience of being reborn—an experience that punctuated the core of the piece: that beneath all the differences that define us—race, culture, language, skin color—there is a shared essence, a common origin we all carry.
Video to watch the installation process here.
About the artist:
SEIVIN is an American artist based in Wilmington, Delaware, who investigates the unintended visual language that emerges within transitional spaces such as construction sites. Working across installation, painting, and material reconstruction, he focuses on peripheral elements—temporary tape, traces left by workers' movements, raw materials, and incidental accumulations. By displacing functional materials from their original context and repositioning them between image and structure, he reveals the formal logic latent in incomplete and provisional states.
SEIVIN received his MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (Low Residency, 2025) and his B.A. from Syracuse University (2007). Notable solo projects include a performance and installation in Sam Chung Dong, Seoul (2020) and the installation The Birth at Broad Street Studio, Philadelphia (2025/2026). His work has been the subject of critical writing by art critic Jae Gul Lee and art writer Elizabeth Johnson, whose 2026 essay examined the relationship between construction sites and the unconscious in his practice.
He finds artistic possibility in the spaces most people pass by without a second glance—places considered far removed from aesthetic value.

For this month’s Art at Noon, explore the expansive reach of Elizabeth Catlett’s praxes as a groundbreaking artist, educator, and interlocutor. Independent curator and art historian Charmaine Branch will discuss Catlett’s pedagogy in relation to her sculpture and printmaking practices.
Branch will pay particular attention to the educational and artistic communities Catlett navigated throughout her life. Catlett’s relationships with fellow Black women artists illuminate the interconnected networks of friends, collaborators, mentors, and mentees who laid the foundation for African Diasporic artistic production and historiography from the mid-twentieth century into the early twenty-first century.
The lecture will also consider recent scholarship and discourse surrounding Catlett’s legacy in relation to PAFA’s exhibition A Nation of Artists.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/146215/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info

Elizabeth Catlett: Mentorship and Collaboration in Practice

Many artists can feel frustrated in front of a blank canvas, unsure of how to start and what to paint. Paint with confidence by learning techniques to tap into your intuitive process and find inspiration more easily! Experienced instruction and advice will push students to take chances and explore unexpected directions and accidental marks to achieve artistic discoveries. Students will use line, color and space, and editing possibilities to create busy/calm areas and focal points in their paintings as they work from personal imagery, expression, and imagination. Instruction will take the form of PowerPoint presentation/examples, formal direction from modern and contemporary artists, and one-on-on critiques in Zoom sessions that are geared toward open painting time in a classroom-like setting.
Painting experience recommended.

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.
