Radical Americana Opening

  • Glen Foerd 5001 Grant Avenue Philadelphia, PA, 19114 United States (map)

Celebrate the opening of two new Radical Americana installations at Glen Foerd with an evening of art, conversation, and connection. Be among the first to experience Jessica Eldredge’s Social Fabric Souvenirs and Caitlin McCormack’s Scorpion Grass, on view at Glen Foerd through 2026. 

In partnership with Andalusia Historic House & Gardens, Eldredge and McCormack will be joined by artists Sophie Glenn and Jody Graff for a special panel discussion exploring chairs, quilts, labor, and memory.

Sophie Glenn’s sculpture Philly Jawn, and Jody Graff’s installation A History of Andalusia, Philadelphia and America as Told Through Plants & Narrative Quilts are currently on display at Andalusia through November, 2026.

Explore the mansion and enjoy snacks, drinks, and the waterfront park. This event is free to attend.

Radical Americana is a city-wide Semi-quincentennial initiative led by The Clay Studio. The project brings together artists and historic sites to respond to Philadelphia’s histories of craft, commemoration, and civic life.
