On Thursday, February 16 and Wednesday, March 8, head to The Lounge at World Cafe Live for Multitudes: Music and Poetry Inspired by Making American Artists.

World Cafe Live and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) present Multitudes, a multisensory event series. Hear world premiere works from some of Philadelphia’s top performers commissioned by World Cafe Live, all inspired by PAFA’s current exhibition, Making American Artists.

Multitudes asks five musicians and three poets to share their individual reflections of the artwork, presenting new narratives in American art history by spotlighting stories about women artists, LGBTQIA+ artists, and artists of color. The result is a highly personal and powerful illumination of what it means to be an American and an American artist today.

*Please Note* ILL DOOTS will not be appearing live at this event; their performance will be streamed.

All shows in The Lounge are General Admission and seating is NOT guaranteed with ticket purchase. To make a reservation and guarantee a seat, click here or call 215-222-1400. The Lounge is a full-service restaurant & bar that opens at 6pm.
