This concert is the first in The Philly POPS at the Met Philadelphia concert series. Originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Sarah achieved international fame with her multiplatinum album Surfacing, which includes tracks like “Building a Mystery” and “Angel,” the latter of which achieved meteoric success in commercials with the ASPCA. By 2009, she had sold over 30 million albums worldwide. The POPS, under the direction of maestro Sean O’Loughlin, will perform some of Sarah’s signature hits, including, “Building a Mystery,” “Adia,” “I Will Remember You,” and “Angel.” This concert, in featuring an artist with roots in both pop and rock music, bridges the POPS’ 41year focus on American popular music and its POPS Rocks brand. In 2002, Sarah founded her non-profit organization, the Sarah McLachlan School of Music, which provides top-quality music instruction at no cost, in a safe and nurturing environment, for at-risk and underserved children and youth. Since music provided McLachlan with the tools she needed to navigate the challenges she faced in her life, she recognized how important it is for every child to have those same opportunities and created the school. Her efforts parallel POPS in Schools, a program in which The Philly POPS provides supplemental music education to School District of Philadelphia schools.

M
Morris Arboretum has raised $1.5 million to endow a Chief Arborist position. The Chief Arborist position is named in honor of Paul W. Meyer (shown here) who retired in April after 43 years at the Morris Arboretum. Mr. Meyer served as the Arboretum’s Executive Director since 1991, and has been a tireless advocate for trees and their care.

“Funding the Chief Arborist position is something that we have been working towards for several years. It is remarkably gratifying to have secured the funding that will allow us to fill this critical Arboretum role. I am so grateful to the McCausland Foundation and to Janet and John Haas for making this a reality,” said Anthony Aiello, the Gayle E. Mahoney Director of Horticulture and Curator. The Chief Arborist will report to the Director of Horticulture. Elizabeth McCausland Salata, Arboretum Board member and Director at The McCausland Foundation, remarked that “The McCausland Foundation is so grateful to Paul Meyer who inspired so many with his message of the great value of trees in urban environments. It is our great privilege to have helped establish and name the Chief Arborist position in Paul’s honor.” Janet Haas, Arboretum Board Member Emerita, echoed these sentiments, “Paul is a regional hero for his work over decades educating our community, and those far beyond it, about trees. We cannot imagine a more fitting way to honor his legacy than to ensure that he is associated in perpetuity with the Chief Arborist position.” Morris Arboretum’s tree collection is a defining feature of the garden and is a fundamental aspect of its mission. Of the 11,985 accessioned plants throughout the Arboretum (not including those in the greenhouse), 4,127 of these are classified as trees, ranging from small, recently-planted seedlings, to vigorous teenage and maturing trees, all the way to impressive veteran specimens. As a museum, Morris Arboretum’s tree collection is insured, and based on a valuation that was conducted in 2013, it has a total estimated value of $25 million, making the tree collection one of the top assets of the Arboretum. It is essential to preserve, maintain, and grow this collection in order to achieve Morris Arboretum’s goals of research, horticulture, and education. The continued efforts to focus and improve Morris Arboretum’s tree care ensures that this resource continues for future generations. Adding the Chief Arborist will be a great addition in allowing the Arboretum to care for its trees, while also strengthening the arboriculture education and outreach programs. Morris Arboretum is one of more than 30 Philadelphia gardens in America’s Garden Capital. This 92-acre horticultural display garden features a spectacular collection of mature trees in a beautiful and colorful landscape. The official arboretum of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, effective 1988, Morris Arboretum is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and accredited by the American Association of Museums.

for the Sunset Hill Fine Arts Gallery and The West Chester Gallery Walk. Harry’s friend and mentee, Sandra Riper of Sunset Hill Jewelers & Fine Arts Gallery in West Chester, oversees the annual scholarship award. Each year, the Harry Dunn Art Scholarship is awarded to a Chester County student to pursue their education in the arts. The 2019 winner, Mia Schaller of Downingtown, has loved art for as long as she can remember. Growing up with her artist father Jeff Schaller, Mia was always immersed in drawing. Mia’s favorite type of artwork is illustration, specifically drawing people. “I love creating characters and giving them a story and trying to put it all into a single illustration. I think life and people are so fascinating that you could never run out of ideas with them.” Shown is one of Mia Schaller’s illustrations.
Mia is studying illustration with a minor in animation at John Paul the Great Catholic University in California. Mia aims to become a professional illustrator, either as a freelancer or for an animation studio. Mia also hopes to design children’s books or graphic novels using the characters she creates. Mia exclaims, “I was thrilled and honored when I received the Harry Dunn Art Scholarship. It is helping me pursue my dream! I am extremely grateful to Sandra Riper of Sunset Hill for selecting me.” To celebrate the scholarship, Mia and her father’s artwork were featured in a special father/daughter showing at Sunset Hill Jewelers & Volunteers Needed at Senior Center Become a part of an active network that supports and sustains each other.

Youth Suicide Parent Resource Program Youth Suicide is a major health problem facing the youth in our nation, state and communities. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s 2017 Youth Risk Behavioral Survey over ONE out of every FOURTEEN young people in our nation attempted suicide in the previous 12 months. Yet, most people are unaware of the danger suicide presents for our young people. The Parent Resource Program (PRP) is a web-based program designed specifically for parents; however, the information provided is an excellent resource for educators, coaches, youth workers, other adults, and young people. The Jason Foundation (JFI) believes that awareness and education are key elements to preventing youth suicide. The main focus of the PRP is to provide information that will assist parents to recognize changes in behaviors that may indicate suicidal thoughts and know what to do to help an at-risk child. The PRP provides: Youth Suicide Statistics, Common Suicide Myths, Signs of Concern, Higher Risk Groups, Risk Factors & Elevated Risk Factors, What a Parent Can Do, Do’s and Don’ts, Resources for Assistance, Parent and Community Seminar.

DVAA hosts “Number 8,” a solo exhibition of paintings by DVAA member Sally K. Eisenberg in Gallery 2, which will run concurrently with DVAA’s August Members-Only Exhibition, “Stilled-Life,” in Gallery 1, August 4 - 14. Public Opening Reception: August 4, 12 p.m. - 3 p.m. If the universe was created in 7 days, what happened on day 8? “Number 8” allows the audience to take a break from the treadmill of their own lives and simply be present in what is. The exhibition is meant to be a space of contemplative respite; the artist’s hope is for her audience to be immersed in her paintings and ponder the number 8, both to themselves and in dialogue (if they wish). Something magical happens when Sally K. Eisenberg immerses herself within color and movement. She considers herself a lifelong artist, expressing herself through various media, including acrylics, works on paper, collage, mixed media, and photography. DVAA is located at 704 Catharine St., Philadelphia, PA 19147. Shown is “Tuning In,” painting by Sally K. Eisenberg, 24"x24."

short films created by artists incarcerated at the Pennsylvania State Correctional Institution at Chester and Philadelphia’s Riverside Correctional Facility for Women. Using a concert-grade digital projector, films will be screened onto a 20-by-30-foot area of Eastern State’s façade three times each night from August 15 through September 12, 2019. A total of 20 original short films will be shown throughout the month, offering a rare look inside America’s correctional system, conceived, narrated, and animated by incarcerated people. Screenings will be free and open to the public, and content will be appropriate for people of all ages. The event will be held each night, rain or shine. Screenings will last approximately 40 minutes and occur three times nightly starting at 7 p.m., 8 p.m., and 9 p.m. The screenings will be grouped into four themed weeks: “The View from Inside,” “Criminal Justice Today,” “Family and Community Impact,” and “Restorative Justice.” During a given week, audiences will see about five original short films that touch on that week’s theme. Additional guest films, all created by filmmakers close to the criminal justice system or communities impacted by high rates of incarceration, will round out the nightly screenings. In conjunction with each screening, additional programs will feature presentations by scholars, community leaders, activists, artists, victims’ advocates, and elected officials. Hands-on activities will provide families a chance to reflect on the films and discuss social and criminal justice issues. Program activities will include art-making, letter writing, lightning talks from leaders in criminal justice reform, restorative justice, reentry, and more. The project will culminate in a one-night festival on September 12, during which all 20 original films will be screened back to back. A documentary film about the artists, created by Media in Neighborhoods Group (MING), will play inside
the historic site’s cellblocks. “Eastern State Penitentiary is committed to deepening the conversation about criminal justice reform in the United States. With Hidden Lives Illuminated, we can structure these conversations around the literal voices of men and women living inside prisons today,” said Sean Kelley, senior vice president and project lead. “Prisons are some of the most inaccessible spaces in America. After all, prison walls don’t just keep incarcerated people in, they keep the public out. We want to use our wall to illuminate the lives of people living inside these institutions that are so often misunderstood, or worse, ignored.” Hidden Lives Illuminated has been in development for three years. Teaching artists employed by Eastern State Penitentiary have been leading classes in storytelling, screen writing, narration and animation inside Pennsylvania correctional institutions since the summer of 2018. The project was inspired by “Freedom/Time,” a project orchestrated by artist Damon Locks and developed with the Jane Addams Hull House and Prison + Neighborhood Arts Project. “Freedom/ Time” was presented by the 96 Acres Project in Chicago, September 15, 2015. For information, visit www.HiddenLives.org. Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site is open for tours seven days a week, year-round. Admission includes “The Voices of Eastern State” Audio Tour, narrated by actor Steve Buscemi; Hands-On History interactive experiences; history exhibits; and a critically acclaimed series of artist installations. For more information, visit www.EasternState.org.
Experience Birds of North America Outdoors at Theater with a View Anna Moench’s play, a 2017 Kilroys List Honorable Mention, comes to the professional outdoor theatre company. heater with a View, a highly-acclaimed professional theatre company located in the Valley Forge region of Pennsylvania, returns this September with a production that is a perfect fit for the intimate outdoor home of the company. Anna Moench’s Birds of North America will play at the Pottstown venue from September 4 through September 14, 2019. A play about fathers and daughters, Birds of North America tells the story of John, an avid birder, and his adult daughter Caitlyn, who is developing an interest. The play traces their relationship over the course of a decade of visits in their suburban backyard in Maryland. A play that asks what binds us, what divides us, and how we struggle to understand the ones we love the most, year after year, Anna Moench’s Birds of North America was a 2017 Kilroys List Honorable Mention. The Kilroys includes the results of an annual industry survey of excellent new plays by woman, trans, and nonbinary playwrights. It is a tool for producers committed to ending the systemic underrepresentation of woman, trans, and non-binary playwrights in the American theater. The Theater with a View production will be directed by
T
Jessica O’Hara-Baker, making her company debut. Ms. O’HaraBaker’s recent directing credits include Continuing the Conversation (Dreamcatcher Rep); Twelve Angry Men (Associate Dir., NYU Tisch); Cardinal (AD, Second Stage); The F*cking Problem (NY Fringe). She directed award winning short The Green Lotto, new web series What Am I Doing Here?, and cofounded the filmmaking collective Burn it Down. Casting will be announced at a later date. Birds of North America is also an ideal fit for the Theater with a View venue, a gorgeous outdoor estate that has presented site-specific, environmental, and other non-traditional stagings of contemporary plays since 2014, including the regional premiere of On The Exhale, Rabbit Hole, Detroit, and more. Birds of North America will run September 4 through September 14, 2019, Wednesday through Saturday at 7 p.m., and Sunday at 6 p.m. at Sycamore Hill, 481 Ebelhare Road, Pottstown, PA. Tickets are $30 to reserve a seat, $20 for students. For information, or to book tickets, visit www.theaterwithaview.com.

Upper Darby Summer Stage Presents Elliot and the Magic Bed August 7, 8, 9 A boy with a runaway imagination takes audiences on a magical journey! pper Darby Summer Stage presents Elliot and The Magic Bed, the story of a boy with an endless imagination who uses his magical bed to travel to lands of pirates, mermaids and sorcerers. Performances are August 7, 8 and 9 at 10:30 a.m. and August 8 at 7:30 p.m.
U
Upper Darby Summer Stage cast members of “Elliot and the Magic Bed” prepare for performances on August 7, 8, and 9. From top, clockwise – Luke Branes-Huff of Wallingford plays Basil Gruesome, Kenneth Bruce of Drexel Hill plays Greenbeard the Pirate, Ali Buchanan of Upper Darby is Elliot and Genevieve Bruce of Drexel Hill plays Elliot’s mother. Photo/Jim Mergliano Tickets are $9 - $13 and can be purchased at www.udpac.org or by calling the box office at 610-622-1189. Children are invited to arrive early for fun pre-show activities and stay after the show to meet cast members! Elliot and the Magic Bed runs a little over an hour and is ideal for ages four and up Free babysitting is offered for those who are too young to enjoy the show quietly. The Upper Darby Performing Arts Center is located in Drexel Hill, at 601 N. Lansdowne Avenue, minutes from the Main Line and Center City. Parking is free. Elliot and the Magic Bed was created by Summer Stage alumni Marcus Stevens and Brian Lowdermilk, (both originally from Wallingford, PA) in 2003 and has become an audience favorite at Summer Stage. Stevens, who created the original story, book and lyrics, recently opened a new musical in London, Mythic. Lowdermilk wrote the music and is a popular New York composer (part of duo Kerrigan-Lowdermilk) of several musicals including Rosie Revere, Engineer, currently touring throughout the United States. In the show Elliot (Ali Buchanan of Upper Darby) has a wild imagination that often gets him in trouble in school. He decides to escape reality for a bit and go on an adventure. Alongside his mom (Genevieve Bruce of Drexel Hill), the two travel through mystical lands making friends with mermaids, wizards, and a pirate (Matt Bruce of Drexel Hill) all while on a quest to retrieve a magic clock from the dark sorcerer, Basil Gruesome (Luke Branes-Huff of Wallingford). Through his adventures, Elliot learns that although his imagination may appear fantastic, there really is no better place than with the ones you love. Director and Drexel Hill resident, Chris Monaco, said, “Elliot and the Magic Bed is, at the heart, a story about the everlasting bond between parent and child. The show encourages us to let our creativity run wild—and it honors the importance of the dreams of a child. Elliot and his mother meet mermaids who jam out, wizards whose spells backfire, and pirates who polka as they travel through Elliot’s imagination, holding tight to one another and learning to appreciate the time we are given.” The Upper Darby Performing Arts Center and Upper Darby Summer Stage are jointly sponsored by Upper Darby Township Mayor and Council and the Upper Darby School District Board of School Directors through the Department of Recreation and Leisure Services.

New York artist and philanthropist Jane Walentas, a 1966 graduate of Moore College of Art & Design, and her husband, David Walentas, have provided Moore College of Art & Design with a gift of $5 million. Photo/Julienne Schafer ew York artist and philanthropist Jane Walentas, a 1966 graduate of Moore College of Art & Design, and her husband, David Walentas, have provided Moore with a gift of $5 million—the single largest donation in the 170-year history of the College. This generous gift will fund scholarships for deserving women artists who wish to receive their education at Moore, the nation’s first and only visual art and design school for undergraduate women. Jane Walentas, who also received a Master of Fine Arts degree from NYU and worked for many years as an art director in cosmetic advertising for Elizabeth Arden, Avon and Estee Lauder, is a longtime member of Moore’s Board of Trustees, and played an integral role in the launch of Moore’s Visionary Woman Scholarship Program in 2005. She is well-known for restoring and operating Jane’s Carousel, a historic 1922 carousel that is located in the DUMBO section of Brooklyn—an area that was developed by her husband, David Walentas, who attended the University of Virginia on a full Navy ROTC scholarship. Jane worked in her DUMBO artist studio to restore the 48 carousel horses to their original glory, working first only with a carpenter and later, a team of artists to bring the carousel to life. She worked on and oversaw every single detail of the restored carousel. The carousel now stands as a treasured landmark in Brooklyn Bridge Park. The Walentas family has a long history of supporting the arts and education. Jane is the Executive Director of the Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program, which awards rent-free non-living studio space to 17 visual artists for year-long residencies in DUMBO, Brooklyn. Developed for artists, by artists in 1991, the Walentas’ took over the program with new sponsorship and commitment from the Walentas Family Foundation, continuing the legacy of founder Marie Walsh Sharpe. The Walentas Family Foundation also established the Neighborhood School Grants program with the belief that vibrant and successful schools are fundamental parts of communities. Since conception, the foundation has awarded dozens of school grants that aim to enrich students’ learning experiences through creative programming that may not supported by a school’s existing budget. “We both believe in education, and David is a big believer in giving back because of his opportunities as a result of his scholarships at UVA, so it’s very exciting to be able to help students who can’t otherwise go to school. My hope is that with this gift it will encourage others to help expand the endowment,” says Jane Walentas. “Moore, being a small, all-women’s college of art and design, is still relatively unknown outside the Philadelphia area and I felt strongly about bringing talented students from other regions to this extraordinary college. Moore was important to my past. I am privileged to be making a contribution that will help Moore continue to attract and educate the country’s brightest and most gifted young women artists.” The $5 million donation to Moore will be used to create the Walentas Visionary Woman Scholarships. These scholarships will be part of Moore’s Visionary Woman Honors Program, which provides financial support and sustained mentorship to talented, motivated and future-focused students, both inside and outside of the classroom. Since 2005, Visionary Woman Scholarships have increased the level of opportunity and access to Moore’s highquality visual arts education for a broad and diverse array of women, many of whom may not have otherwise had the ability to pursue careers in art and design. The Walentas’ record-breaking gift expands upon this legacy of opportunity. The endowment will provide scholarships each year to 10 non-Pennsylvania residents accepted to Moore who display exceptional artistic and academic promise. Each scholarship will be automatically renewed for up to four years of full-time enrollment with the upkeep of the student’s GPA. “There is nothing nobler that anyone can do than to provide an opportunity for deserving and talented students to achieve their dreams of going to college,” said Moore President Cecelia Fitzgibbon. “We are deeply grateful that Jane – a notable Moore alumna – and David believe so strongly in the mission of the College, and in the ability to transform lives through the study of art and design.” The first Walentas Visionary Woman Scholars will be chosen among students attending Moore for the first time this fall, as part of the incoming class of 2023. The College will begin to award the scholarships from the endowed fund in fall 2020. Jane and David Walentas have also established the Jane Walentas ’66 Endowed Scholarship and International Travel Fellowship at Moore, as well as the Jane and David Walentas Endowed Fellowship. With their new gift, they will play an even greater role in bringing emerging artists who display great talent to Philadelphia, a growing and evolving destination for artists and for art and culture.
