About this event
The galleries at Slought are open to the general public by appointment only from Tuesday to Friday, 12-5pm. Admission is free.
We are currently exhibiting Love and Oblivion, an exhibition exploring queer possibilities of affirmation, extravagance, and extinction, on display August 5 - September 9, 2021, and The Wounded City, a transitional project for those recovering from the pandemic who seek healing and connection, beginning July 1, 2021.
Visitors are required to schedule a visit through Eventbrite at least one hour prior to arrival. Visitation will be limited to 3 groups at a time. All visitors are required to follow our COVID-19 Social Contract, which entails wearing a face-covering, sanitizing hands, and refraining from visiting if feeling unwell. Free PPE will be provided if needed.
Our re-opening plans follow guidelines set forth by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, City of Philadelphia, and University of Pennsylvania. We will adapt our reopening plan in accordance with changes to safety protocols at the city, state, and university level.
