You’ll probably want to catch this one: The Magic Gardens, at 10th and South, will be hosting a juried exhibition of tile and mosaic works.

The exhibition is inspired by the rich history of tile and mosaic art in the Philadelphia area over the past 100 years. Tell-Tale Tiles & Fractured Fantasies explores contemporary tile making and ceramic mosaic as a story-telling medium in the spirit of artists Henry Chapman Mercer and Isaiah Zagar. The call for entry requested narrative tiles that could include social, political, personal, and family stories.

It opens March 19 and will be up for a month.
