The Fairmount Park Art Association, Urban Tango and Oscuro Quintet are teaming up on this event, which includes an intro lesson, open dancing and a competition for non-professional dancers judged by professional dancers and teachers from the local Argentine tango community, like Leslie Mitchell, Damian Lobato, Kristina McFadden and Marc Hussner. There's a cash prize of $250 for the best dancer, as well as other prizes. Rain date is April 12. 

 

Initiated by Philadelphia artist Pepon Osorio in collaboration with 10 other artists, this exhibition-led inquiry into the contemporary practice of communal exchange investigates the notions of the physical, emotional and spiritual act of sharing as an art practice. The multi-layer installation will transform the Painted Bride's Independence Foundation Gallery for the Visual Arts. Exhibit runs through June 3 with First Friday receptions on May 4 and June 1.
