September First Friday picks: Receptions, jazz & more

First Friday is the perfect segue into Labor Day Weekend. Grab your buds and toast to the end of the summer on Friday, Sept. 4.

A garage sale in an actual garage? That's what you're getting with West Chester's Vintage Market, where vintage and antique vendors will be selling their goods in the Chestnut Street Parking Garage (14 E. Chestnut St., West Chester) from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Spend a little dough on home goods from Vidalia's Vintage or Nicole Marie Antiques and get your fill on yum stuff from the Tot Cart and Dia Doce cupcakes. Other notable items: Free Boxcar Brewing Company samples will be distributed from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and the Budweiser Clydesdales will parade along Gay and Market Streets between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.

Song and art collide at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (2600 Benjamin Franklin Parkway) when the Avalon Jazz Band performs American and French jazz standards inspired by the artwork in the "Discovering the Impressionists: Paul Durand-Ruel and the New Painting" (which closes on Sept. 13). The jazzy evening begins at 5 p.m. with light snacks and drinks.

Over 20 artists each share their own interpretations in human interaction and relationships at Indy Hall's (22 N. 3rd St.) "KIN." Representative of the creator's own personal relationships, observations and interactions, the show opens with a 5 p.m. reception.

All summer long, 1950s and '60s cult horror classics have been shown on the outdoor courtyard screen on First Fridays at a not-really-horrific venue, the Betsy Ross House (239 Arch St.). This time, they'll show Wasp Woman at 8 p.m. But come early — around 5:30 p.m. — for special tours of the house.

Local author and illustrator Greg Pizzoli, whose picture books have been lauded by the New York Times Book Review, shows off colorful prints of Philly buildings at Philadelphia Independents (35 N. 3rd St.) from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Oh yeah, and Little Baby's Ice Cream will be there, too.

It's not your imagination: you have been seeing world-class art all over the city. Through the Philadelphia Museum of Art's "Inside Out" initiative, replicas of the museum's top pieces have been installed throughout the city's neighborhoods. Take a tour and see the 14 in Fishtown departing from Liberty Vintage (2217 Frankford Ave.) at 6 p.m.

Local screen printer Eric Kenney shows off new work at Art in the Age (116 N. 3rd St.) at a 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. opening reception with free cocktails and good vibes.

A photographic inspection of Philadelphia's schools opens at Gravy Studio (155 Cecil B. Moore Ave.). Students, teachers, parents and more affected by underfunding are highlighted in the photograph of "Back to School," though you're encouraged to bring headphones to listen to the stories behind the shots. The reception runs from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

The PMA isn't the only place where you can get a taste of jazz. The Barnes Foundation (2025 Benjamin Franklin Parkway) presents a performance from clarinetist and saxophonist Oran Etkin who draws inspiration from African and Israeli music. From 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., you'll hear the tunes, explore the museum's collection at your leisure and indulge in some macaroons.

Drag extraordinaire Jackie Beat, the Evil Queen of All Anti-Social Media, strips the filter and no one is safe. Her show at Franky Bradley's (1320 Chancellor St.) will feature new song parodies and much more. It starts at 8 p.m.
