Philadelphia Museum of Art Young Friends hosted their fall event at the museum’s Perelman Building “Fall into Art”.
Nearly 200 young friends came out to the shindig which featured tours of Creative Africa, an open bar, a silent auction, light bites, entertainment including a
performance by African Rhythm Drum & Dance Troupe. Proceeds from the event support art conservation, and acquisitions for the collection.

Creative Africa Season
The four other exhibitions of the Creative Africa season focus mainly on modern and contemporary African art and design or offer a dialogue between past and present, tradition and innovation, and local and global concerns. Each calls attention to the continuities and differences between African art forms over the centuries. All of the exhibitions are presented in the galleries of the Ruth and Raymond G. Perelman Building.
