With stunning architectural details and a culturally significant public mission, The Samuel Fleisher Art Memorial invites Philadelphians to visit our special institution for a special walking tour. The 30 minute tour will conclude in the historic Sanctuary with a slide show to raise awareness about our conservation efforts and renovation plans. Reception to follow.

Guests are welcome to join Interim Executive Director, Rebecca O'Leary and former board member and resident historian Bill Brookover in Fleisher's historic Sanctuary at 711 Catharine Street in Queen Village for a brief walking tour. Afterwards, we will have a slideshow featuring images of some of the historic art and objects recently discovered by our team of archivists from Bryn Mawr College. Guests will have the opportunity to ask questions, mingle and enjoy this sacred space. Wine, beer and lite fare will be served.
