This Week In Clips is a weekly clip regarding the best upcoming arts events. If you have an event that should be on this list, let PaperClips215 know.

Lots of events coming up, just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. Okay, so most of them aren’t Irish themed, but they ARE a great reason to get out this week, and do something other than drink green beer.

Going to any of these events? Remember to clip along with us @PaperClips215 or with #clips215!

Abstract

March 22, 3 – 4 pm • $15/$10 for members, Registration requested
9
201 Germantown Ave

Many of the standard accounts of Abstract Expressionism fail to properly acknowledge the work of women artists. Both art historians and critics have marginalized such artists as Elaine de Kooning, Perle Fine, Joan Mitchell, and others. This lecture reframes the received canon of Abstract Expressionism by presenting the critical reception of women artists from the 1950s to the present.

And there are always the ongoing exhibits at The Print Center (and check out our review of their current exhibit, Canicular!), PAFA, and the PMA. Check their respective websites for hours.
