UPDATE
On Friday, May 31, 2024, the University of the Arts, a primary presenting partner for “Community of Images,” abruptly announced its imminent closure, slated for Friday, June 7, 2024. As a result, the status of the exhibition and related programs became uncertain.
Currently, all exhibition-related programs are now scheduled to take place at the Philadelphia Art Alliance, including during the exhibition’s opening weekend, Friday–Sunday, June 14–16, 2024.
