Over the last few years, JEWELSSEA has garnered a reputation as one of Philadelphia's most prolific and wide-ranging electronic musicians. As a co-founding member of the ALT + ESC rave series and L8HOUSE, JEWELSSEA has been instrumental in ushering a new wave of electronic artists emerging from the city, effortlessly distinguishing herself as the leader of the pack and earning spots on the Adult Swim and Making Time Festival (2023, 2024) stages. Capturing the attention of The Fader, Resident Advisor, and That Good Sh*t with her 4-track EP, B4 U Wake (2023), and debut album, Dwelling, the club mainstay is poised to cement her place next to the electronic music elite.

celebrates the foundational role of yards in shaping contemporary art in America. Building upon existing scholarship on Yard Art, artwork created to exist in the transitional space between the home and wider world, artist and art historian Josh T. Franco examines the lineage of this robust American art form which has historically existed outside of museum and gallery spaces. Featuring over 30 works, the exhibition spotlights both community and academically taught artists over the past five decades including David Driskell, vanessa german, Donald Judd, Noah Purifoy, and Finnegan Shannon, revealing connections across communities in creative world-building with what is available. This exhibition is part of ICA’s Sachs Guest Curator Program, which since 2007 has funded artists and interdisciplinary creatives to curate ambitious contemporary art presentations and actualize projects that leverage the space of resources of ICA to examine emerging and underrecognized creative practices.
