Philadelphia Black Dance Mural Project

Join Mural Arts Philadelphia for an evening celebrating the legacy and impact of Black dance in Philadelphia.

The Philadelphia Black Dance Mural Project, by artist Bernard Collins, honors generations of dancers and educators, from Essie Marie Dorsey to Joan Myers Brown, who shaped the city’s cultural identity and global influence.

Experience live performances, a film screening, and a powerful conversation, culminating in the unveiling of a new mural design rooted in history, resilience, and community.
