Early American Shape-Note Singing: Performance and Participation
Shape-note singing is a participatory, 200-year-old singing tradition with roots in the early American harmony singing–school movement. Singers arrange in a square according to their parts and use the shape-note system as a visual aid to read conventional musical notation. The goal is to learn to sing harmony while building a strong sense of community. There is no requirement for vocal quality, and many who believe they cannot sing come to join in and are swept up in this distinctly American musical tradition. Music will be provided. Singers and listeners are welcome. Led by Hal Kunkel, three separate sessions are offered throughout the day. Come for one or stay for all! .

Stuckeman School Lecture: "The Minds and Brains of Designers," with John Gero

His research draws from mind and brain studies of architects, engineers and industrial engineers while they design.
Prior to his appointment at Drexel, Gero was a professor of design and director of the Key Centre of Design Computing and Cognition at the University of Sydney. He has been a visiting professor of architecture, AI, civil engineering, cognitive psychology, computer science, computational social science, design and computation, or mechanical engineering at MIT, Columbia University, UCLA, Carnegie Mellon…

Palmer Museum Faculty Talk with Cathleen Cahill
Primarily known for her portraits of Blackfeet people commissioned by the Great Northern Railroad, like the painting Wife and Child of Bull Plume (Maggie Bull Plume) currently on exhibit at the Palmer Museum, Kathryn Woodman Leighton was also part of the vibrant Los Angeles art scene. She painted a number of Indigenous entertainers in LA colloquially know as "Hollywood Indians." These paintings, many held in private collections, are an overlooked part of her oeuvre. Professor of History and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Cathleen Cahill, will discuss how those portraits reveal a broader picture of Native American life in the early twentieth century as well as Leighton's connection to the art scene in the city. .

Palmer Museum Creative Encounters
Creative Studio is moving to the galleries and becoming Creative Encounters! Centered on mindful creativity and relaxation, these gallery sessions invite participants to explore works of art through sketching, journaling, and reflective observation. Connect with fellow creative thinkers, discover new ways to engage with art, and develop everyday creative practices that prioritize process over product. As part of the Palmer’s wellness initiative, these sessions are led by art therapist Erin Carter and art educators, Erin Welsh and Brandi Breslin.
