You need to sign up first.
What to expect
Most of the group's work happens online. Members watch a monthly feature and members' viewings on the group's online viewing platform, and each viewing usually runs about a month. Public events include in-person screenings in Philadelphia and artist talks, with dates and years on the Events page. The page does not say how long talks last or whether they are free.
Tips for your first visit
- Check the Events page for in-person screenings in Philadelphia before you plan a visit, since dates change.
