This winter, the Cope House Gallery presents Urban Wild, a collection of photographs of Northwest Philadelphia that represent Northwest Photo Club members’ diverse interests, while featuring the natural world that permeates the urban environment.

The Cope House Art Gallery at Awbury Arboretum presents rotating exhibitions by local artists year-round. The gallery offers visitors a way to engage with art, history, and the natural landscape in one setting.

By partnering with local artists, Awbury is able to present free art shows March through December every year. As an exhibition space where beautiful and thought-provoking art is displayed, the Cope House Gallery is a valuable resource for both local artists and art lovers. Admission is free. Artwork is available for purchase, with a portion of proceeds supporting the Arboretum’s programs.

The Cope House Gallery Hours:

Monday-Thursday: 10am – 4pm.
