Join us, along with many of the participating artists, to celebrate the opening of our latest exhibition! This summer, Moore partners with Philadelphia Sculptors to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their annual 5 Into 1 exhibition program. Showcasing the sculpture of recent college graduates from five area art schools—Moore, PAFA, Tyler, UArts, and UPenn—each year's exhibition introduces the public to emerging artists selected by emerging curators.
On Friday, June 13 from 5–7 PM, we'll open the show and Sandra Alexander ’92 will present her winning essay for the Fitzgibbon Endowed Alumni Prize as part of the evening’s program.
On view June 14 – August 28, 2025, this iteration recognizes this monumental occasion with an exhibition in three parts: the first of which is Moore's Biennial Alumni Invitational that centers on work by six artists who originally participated in 5 Into 1 at the time of their graduation including Carolina Marín Hernández ’22, Darla Jackson ’03, Aimee Koran ’13, Sarah Montagnoli ’18, verónica a. pérez ’14, and Kate VanVliet ’07. The second is a curated presentation of work by artists who 1) contributed sculptural work to the show over the years, 2) received either a BFA or MFA from any of the above-named schools, and 3) are currently exploring work-in-the-round in their contemporary studio practice. The third component is the final occurrence of the exhibition as it has existed historically to this day, representing all 5 schools for the last time. This moment allows space to reflect on the city's legacy as a thriving center of art/design higher education and gives Philadelphia Sculptors an opportunity to reimagine the future of its landscape.
