SUMMARY:NLM at Night: Bowie Bash & Pop-Up Gallery Art Sale
DESCRIPTION:NLM will be hosting our 3rd Annual Bowie Bash and Pop-Up Art Sale – the official evening kick-off event for Philly Loves Bowie Week. NLM at Night: Bowie Bash\, will be on Friday January 6th\, coinciding with the opening of our Bowie-inspired Gallery and Art Sale\, which runs until January 23rd. \nBowie Bash will feature live music by Johnny Showcase and Rumi Kitchen performing Bowie covers\, specialty cocktails from Tattooed Mom and a raffle for some fun Bowie-inspired prizes. The pop-up gallery features local artists celebrating David Bowie’s legacy in the creative freedom he inspired. The artwork on display will be for sale\, with a portion of the proceeds donated to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP)\, in partnership with Philly Loves Bowie Week. \nWith the news of Dito’s\, also known as Martha Graham Cracker\, leukemia diagnosis\, we will also be hosting a swabbing event with Be the Match during Bowie Bash on Jan 6th to help find a peripheral blood stem cell match. This will be an opportunity for anybody 18-40 years old to get swabbed to see if they are a potential match for Martha or for someone else needing a donor. The process is a quick one – you fill out a short medical history to determine if you are a fit to become a possible donor\, then you swab your cheek\, and finally you then wait to see if you are matched. \nEarly Bird and VIP access tickets are now on sale. \nBuy Tickets \n

SUMMARY:Carpenters' Hall Recovery Benefit and VIP Access: Past Tense - Turning to History During Uncertain Times
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with Carpenters’ Hall\, NLM is proud to host this topical conversation about the power of history.  NLM brings together a panel featuring Michael Idriss\, African American Interpretive Fellow at Museum of the American Revolution; Don Wildman\, host of Travel Channel’s Mysteries at the Museum and the podcast American History Hit; and Jonathan Zimmerman\, Professor of History of Education at the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education\, in a discussion examining the complex power that history holds over the future\, and what’s at stake in the battles we wage over interpretations of the past in our museums\, our classrooms\, and on our screens.    \nVIP ticket holders are invited to join a pre-event reception. Tickets include an exclusive cocktail reception with hosts and panelists\, with remarks from Don Wildman\, with sales will benefitting the Carpenters’ Hall Recovery Fund. \nVIP Event: 5:30-630 pm \nPanel Discussion: 6:30-7:30 pm \nClick to Purchase Tickets \n$40 VIP Ticket\, $20 General Admission\, $10 for NLM Members\nAll ticket levels include access to the museum. \nAbout Carpenters’ Hall Recovery Benefit \nLocated in Independence National Historical Park and a National Historic Landmark\, Carpenters’ Hall was built in the early 1770s and hosted the First Continental Congress in 1774\, one of the most significant events in the founding of our nation. On Christmas Eve 2022\, Carpenters’ Hall was broken into and a fire was started in the basement. The fire came at the end of a once-in-a-generation preservation project\, and after eight months of closure\, the Hall was set to reopen in February. \nWhile the fire was thankfully contained in the basement\, the basement and its contents suffered extensive damage in the flames. As they navigate the damage and explore a new path to reopening\, we are asking the public to support them in our efforts. While insurance will cover much of the destruction\, Carpenters’ Hall will need to commit to new improvements to prevent another tragedy from occurring again in the future. Public donations will help to fund an improved security system\, including new security cameras\, fire protection systems\, fireproof archival storage\, and environmental protections for our collections.

SUMMARY:NLM Celebrates: PARK(ing) Day
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, PARK(ing) Day invites cities around the country to rethink what public places can be by transforming parking spaces into miniature parks. This year\, NLM is partnering with PHILADELPHIA250 to create a pop-up experience designed to inspire reflection and spark conversation. Join us to explore the contemporary meaning of liberty through thought-provoking questions and collaborative art as we take our latest exhibition Project Liberty: A Design Challenge to the streets. See you outside! \nPARK(ing) Day was founded by Rebar\, a San Francisco art and design studio\, in 2005 to raise awareness of the need for green spaces in urban environments. Philadelphia celebrated PARK(ing) Day for the first time in 2008 with over 25 installations for relaxing\, cycling\, creating art\, education\, and socializing.
