Two Decades of Pew's Support for the Arts in the Philadelphia Region
The big picture

Seth Parker Woods performs a multimedia concert that features the Grammy Award nominee’s cello playing and spoken text alongside moving images of film and visual arts and Roderick George’s interpretive dancing. The concert, “Difficult Grace,” used layers of artistic expression to explore identity and history inspired by the Great Migration, immigration, and poetry by Kemi Alabi and Dudley Randall. The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage supported the concert, which took place in Philadelphia last spring. For the past two decades, the Center has invested in ambitious and substantive work showcasing the Philadelphia region’s artistic vitality.
