The Barnes Foundation and Calder Gardens are offering free general admission to Philadelphia residents for the entire month of July 2026 — no reservations required, just a valid Philadelphia ID at the door.
Calder Gardens has built a programming calendar where film screenings, Indigenous listening circles, lunar meditation, and silent contemplation share equal weight with the Calder works themselves. May 2026 is the month where that breadth is most legible.
Calder Gardens April 2026 programs include a free sound bath ceremony by Guadalupe Maravilla, Silent Day, Moon Alignment meditation sessions, and daily guided walks through the galleries and gardens.
Artists as Gardens launches at Calder Gardens with Gryphon Rue’s equinox concert, immersive sound, field recordings, and live trio works.
Calder Gardens opens on the Parkway, inviting Philadelphians to experience Calder’s art in a lush, reflective new setting.
Calder Gardens, opening in September 2025, combines Calder’s art with innovative design, fostering community engagement and personal growth.
