Dear Friends
Philadelphia's Magic Gardens is celebrating the end of the cold months and looking forward to warmer weather! We've hosted several fun events recently and are thrilled about the increasing awareness of Jeremiah Zagar's film, In A Dream. Read on to learn upcoming workshops, concerts, and more. Mosaic Mural Workshop with Isaiah Zagar - March 28 and 29
Sign up to participate in this 2-day workshop, or just stop by on March 28th or 29th to watch the Zagar process of creating a beautiful mosaic. For more information about workshops and future dates, visit our website.
Music in the Gardens Despite the cold weather, the Magic Gardens has enjoyed all sorts of artistic energy this winter. In January, The Weeds performed here to raise funds to support their new album. A few weeks later, Polish band Let Me Introduce You To the End presented a music and multimedia experience in the basement of the Gardens. We are hoping to start a monthly concert series at the Gardens, with our next event coming up in just a few weeks.
A songwriter, naturalist, and music teacher, Matthew Halley alternates between guitar, fiddle, banjo and piano to build a creative bridge linking science and song. Joined by his full band in this concert, Halley will play from his recently-released Bird Songs album and more. Visit www.matthewhalley.com for details.
$10 - Tickets available in advance at the Magic Gardens or on the night of the show.
If your band is interested in playing at Philadelphia's Magic Gardens please contact Laura Foxx to discuss booking a show. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces are available for use.
Visit our website for information about performing in the space or renting it out for an event.
Over the past four decades, Isaiah Zagar has covered more than 50,000 square feet of Philadelphia with stunning mosaic murals. In A Dream chronicles his work and tumultuous relationship with his wife, Julia. It follows the Zagars as their marriage implodes and a harrowing new chapter in their life unfolds.
The film has a number of Philadelphia screenings coming up, including at the Philadelphia Jewish Film Festival on March 21st and scheduled dates in April at Ritz at the Bourse. Visit WWW.INADREAMMOVIE.COM for complete listing.

Join Isaiah for his first workshop of 2009 at local South Philly café, Black N Brew. Located at 1523 E Passyunk Avenue, students will help Isaiah create a coffee and conversation-themed mural. Known for its great coffee and tea, Black N Brew also boasts a full breakfast and dinner menu, a cozy atmosphere, and rotating artwork. Help transform the current façade of the café into a breathtaking work of mosaic art.
