Our Collingswood galleries are open.

The Members & Faculty Exhibition brings together 158 works by the artists who make Perkins what it is — students, teachers, musicians, members, and staff. 35+ years in, this show still proves that art at every level deserves to be seen.

In the Loft Gallery, The Goddess Within explores the divine feminine — intuition, archetypal energy, and the inner power that drives transformation and spiritual growth. Curated around the idea of awakening what already lives within, the show brings together 10 artists whose work and lives embody that journey: Terri Amig, David Bogus, Elise Cashman Bond, Cassidy Colgan, Ona Kalstein, Erika Matyok, Liz Nicklus, Diane Rogers, Ellen Rosenholtz, and Amanda Vasquez.

On view through June 26.

Enchanting sounds filled the lawn last night at another World Stage to remember! Eco del Sur, or “Echoes of the South”, took the audience on a musical journey through the Andes, a South American mountain region spanning Venezuela to Argentina. Each instrument was different, some even dating back to the Incas of the 14th century!
Maria Tylek dazzled the audience with traditional Andean dances and dress. Her workshop taught us the essential 1-2-3 count Cumbia step. Thank you to everyone who clapped, sang, and danced the night away with us!

Don’t miss it! Next week WRAPS UP this season of World Stage with Dance It Out! Bollywood Style on June 16 (rain date June 23).
