The Barnes Foundation and Calder Gardens are celebrating America’s 250th birthday and the gifts they’re giving for the celebration will be going to Philadelphia residents.

That’s because, throughout the month of July, the Barnes Foundation and Calder Gardens will offer free admission to all residents of the City of Brotherly Love.

“With the momentous occasion of the country’s semiquincentennial nearly upon us, the Barnes and Calder Gardens wanted to do something special for Philadelphia residents—the people who make everything happen here in our great city,” says Thom Collins, Neubauer Family Executive Director and President of the Barnes in a statement. “Philadelphia is not only a world-class travel destination for art and culture but also a vibrant and inspiring home that is unrivaled when it comes to authentic civic pride. With myriad exciting events taking place in Philly this summer that will draw visitors from far and wide, we are offering free admission for residents during the month of July as a way to express our gratitude and celebrate what it means to be a Philadelphian.”

In a statement on the offering, officials said that the initiative is designed to “engage and honor the people of Philadelphia during a landmark moment in our city’s history.”

Included in free admission is:

Access to the Barnes collection, including daily gallery talk and drop-in experiences.

Freedom Dreams, an exhibition of powerful works in film, video, and installation in the Roberts Gallery by an intergenerational cohort of Black artists—Arthur Jafa, David Hartt, Garrett Bradley, Ja’Tovia Gary, and Tourmaline—who are interested in exploring history, archives, and cultural memory.

Sky Hopinka: Red Metal Dust, an installation of meditative photographic landscapes by multidisciplinary Native American artist Sky Hopinka (Ho-Chunk Nation/Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians) in the Walter and Leonore Annenberg Court.

Just Us, an exhibition of original work created by artists from Mural Arts Philadelphia’s Rec Crew, a 24-week job readiness and life skills program for justice-impacted young adults, and artists at State Correctional Institution (SCI) Phoenix in the first-floor gallery classroom.

At Calder Gardens, Philadelphia residents will enjoy free admission to the rotating installation of artworks by Alexander Calder spanning the artist’s 50-year career and diverse oeuvre. From June 11 to August 3 two films will be screened on a loop throughout the day in the Multipurpose Room: a new short film entitled Cirque Calder on Film, directed by Vic Brooks and making its U.S. premiere, alongside Carlos Vilardebó’s 1961 seminal film Le Cirque Calder.

Outdoors at Calder Gardens, the Piet Oudolf–designed gardens are always free to visit during open hours.
