SUMMARY:Gems at the J | Charms of Fairmount Park Trip
DESCRIPTION:Come for 3 weekly tours of The Charms of Fairmont Park. Each week we will head to a different historical landmark and take a tour to learn about the stories that helped shaped the history of Philadelphia. The tours will include; Strawberry Mansion (10/8)\, Laural Hill Mansion(10/15)\, and Woodford Mansion (10/22). \nWithin the grounds of Fairmount Park\, these historic houses served as the rural summer villas of wealthy families during the eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Discover the engaging stories that echo within the walls of these homes. Each house has its own personality and offers a glimpse into the intriguing public and private lives of prominent Philadelphians during an important time in American history\, just prior to and after the American Revolution. \nThe Charms are considered among the most significant architectural examples of this time period in the United States. Their styles\, furnishings\, history\, and stories help us to illustrate the culture and domestic life of the Revolutionary era as well as understand our collective past. \nClick here to register!

SUMMARY:Gems at the J | The Dawn of Human Art
DESCRIPTION:At the Dawn of Human Art:  Inside the Painted Caves of Southwest France  With Stephen (Dr. Steve) Phillips\, Ph.D.\, Penn Museum \nOur capability to express ourselves symbolically through art is among the features that make our species unique in the animal kingdom. The search for the origins of human art plays an important role in anthropological research to this very day. Why produce art at all? Can we\, from our viewpoint tens of thousands of years later\, even understand the intent of the Paleolithic artisans who created these images deep inside remote caves? \nModern human artistic expression is evident in the form of hundreds\, if not thousands\, of stunning images painted onto the walls of caves in southern France. Early modern human occupation(s) of these painted caves range in date from about 15\,000 years ago to as much as 30\,000 years ago and beyond\, an astounding depth of time. \nOver the course of four summers excavating a Neanderthal-era archaeological site elsewhere in southwest France\, Dr. Steve had the opportunity to visit several of these remarkable caves personally\, including going inside two of them. \nThis lecture takes us on a journey to three of these remarkable sites: Font de Gaume\, Lascaux\, and Chauvet. The images you will see we can relate to; however\, can we relate to why these images existed at such a distant time in our human cultural history? \nClick here to register!

SUMMARY:Gems at the J | The Lifespan of a Fact Play
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we head to Act II Playhouse for performance of The Lifespan of a Fact. A young Harvard grad is hired to fact check a celebrated author’s essay for a struggling New York magazine and sparks fly. Their clash over truth\, art\, and the meaning of accuracy quickly turns into a witty\, fast-paced\, and fiercely intelligent battle. Funny\, provocative\, and uncannily timely\, The Lifespan of a Fact asks what matters more: the story or the facts\, and whether a great work of art can survive scrutiny. A sharp\, laugh-out-loud exploration of truth\, trust\, and the art of getting it right. Lunch\, ticket and transportation from/to the JCC included. \n
