Following, we hope you will stay for Choral Evensong, featuring the canticles 'Collegium Regale" by Herbert Howells, and music from Felice Anerio, Craig Phillips, and Jonathan Dove.

Join fellow Saint Mark's parishioners and friends for a special tour of Workshop of the World: Arts & Crafts in Philadelphia at the Philadelphia Museum of Art before the exhibition closes on October 11. Celebrating Philadelphia’s distinctive role in the Arts and Crafts movement, the exhibition explores how artists, architects, and craftspeople sought to bring beauty and artistry into everyday life, from the city itself to creative communities in Bryn Athyn, New Hope, Rose Valley, and Arden.

We’re especially delighted that several treasured objects from Saint Mark’s are on display in the exhibition, offering a wonderful opportunity to see them within the broader story of Philadelphia’s rich Arts and Crafts tradition. We are honored that exhibition co-curator David Barquist, H. Richard Dietrich, Jr., Curator of American Decorative Arts at the PMA, will host us for this tour.

Saturday, October 3rd, at 3:45 pm
Space is limited; RSVP to Addie Peyronnin

We are grateful to a Saint Mark's parishioner for making these tickets available to us free of charge.
