With a deep appreciation for the robust and influential art community of Philadelphia, Social Lite at The Royal Athena will be offering a small silent auction benefiting The Barnes Foundation.
The Barnes is home to one of the country’s most legendary collections – an unequaled concentration of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings (181 Renoirs, 69 Cézannes, 46 Picassos, 59 Matisses and hundreds of other masterworks) installed in a dense mix of Asian, African and American Indian art and artifacts, with decorative ironwork.
The Barnes Foundation Corporate Council Program provides vital funding to offer free educational outreach programs to more than 8,500 underserved students in the School District of Philadelphia annually. Education outreach programs offered by the Barnes in the district challenge students to analyze art using curricular concepts that they already know or are currently learning in class. These methods not only reinforce curriculum, but also make art more accessible, less intimidating, and more relevant to students’ life experiences. All materials, transportation, and gallery admission is covered by the Barnes.
